Well, there. Now don't you feel like you've relived the year? My wife and I like to look back on our family calendar month-by-month and relive some precious memories ... it really helps you to feel like time is passing and you no longer have the need to say, "Whoosh! Where did this year go??" To quote James Taylor, "The secret to life is enjoying the passage of time."
