New Year's is a concept somewhat lost to me. A particular date is not requirement to change oneself. In fact, it is a hindrance, because it implies a start and a stop. A significant change should be encompassing if it is to be meaningful.
I do love that song that the Living sing, though - Auld Lang Syne. A wistful tune for the holiday season.

You had asked for literature selections. You cannot go wrong with:
Hendregadredd manuscript: A collection of Welsh poems dating back to 1282 The Romance of the Grail: One of the many romances dealing with stories of the Holy Grail; it fits in neatly with Arthurian canon The Divine Comedy: Though I assume you have already read it, given your interest in Old Jack. If you wish for additional insight with the medieval (or rather, proto-Renaissance) language, please let me know. Liberality and Prodigality: A morality tale; a bit dry but historically relevant as it showcases how the character of Justice is regarded less as a theological ideal and more of an enforceable mundane law. The Second Shepherds' Pageant: A play, but well-worth your time as it is very-much removed from the stoic sternness one might associate with the nativity. In fact, it's rather bawdy.
If you have difficulty obtaining copies of the above, please let me know and I will see if I can provide them. My library did not come through the Tesseract, but I am confident that that is little matter.
