.....writing an email to yourself in the future?
It does sound a bit lame, but I found this website where you can just do that. You can decide on a date in the future when you want to receive it, that could be in a few months time, but to make it a bit more interesting, maybe in a few YEARS time. You obvioulsy just got to make sure that you'll still have that email address. So, why not use the new years eve spirit to write something to yourself with wishes and plans that you have for the future, and see if they turned out right.
