At least that's what the sign says. I've had this t-shirt cutout sitting next to my home computer since January. (I've been a little preoccupied trying to get our "Just the tips, man for Protecting the Environment book completed...)

Last December, my son's first grade teacher handed out "Happy New Year" t-shirts to color, cut out and fill in with each child's New Year's resolution.
