As well as the proverbial goose getting fat and the influx of improbable New Year's resolutions, the festive period brings with it a time of quiet contemplation, of a year (near) past and the year to come. A time to consider all the things we wish we'd done, had started but never finished, or could never quite muster the inclination for - from learning a language to treading the boards as an actor, director, musician or diva.

Here at The List we appreciate that tippling and revelling are of the highest priority, so we've done the pre-festive legwork, leaving the easy part up to you. Over the next couple of pages, we guarantee there's something for every disposition. So here's to some first class joie de vivre and a very happy New Year.
