A time to start new good habits and quit the bad ones:"A new year, a fresh start" or "Out with the old, in with the new". What do you want to achieve this new year? What are your goals? Are there anything that needs to be improved? Let´s make our new year´s resolutions.

This will bring good fortune to your house. 

3.- Finally, a good resolution for this year is to follow the new normal safety measures. Do you remember them?
