Yes! It is January, 2010. We are all a year older and, hopefully, a year wiser. Although it is winter, the days are slowly getting longer and the sun, when we see it, actually feels warm at times. To bring in the new year, many communities hold a 'polar bear swim' on New Year's Day no matter how cold it is. In fact, Vancouver holds a 'polar bear swim' and has held this event since 1920.
