To be sincere with you,I will say that I concur with your plans for December unlike most people whom there major focus is on the festivities that comes with December.

Self improvement is something everyone should be involved in and most importantly self assessment, this is the only way you can know if you are really doing well or not. And lastly helping people, that's a good idea coming from you not just being self centered, there's this feeling of satisfaction I get when I help people out,I don't know for others but one thing is certain"it's good to help people...Best of luck to you.
