We have a sort-of tradition here. Every January, when we put away all the Christmas decoration, back into the 4 big boxes, we get out the Sharpie marker and write all sorts of stuff on the boxes. Dates, things we thought were funny, songs I liked at the time, bizarre little drawings courtesy of me, and silly rhymes. Then as late November (the day after Thanksgiving) of the next year hits, and the boxes come out once again, there are all our messages from the year before, as well as the ones before that. We now have 6 years worth of stuff written on the boxes. My favorite from 2 years ago? "I love "The Rain Song" by Led Zeppelin!"
