President Bush stops to greet local residents of Crawford, Texas, before having lunch at the Coffee Station restaurant, Monday, Dec. 31, 2001. From Excite.com: "Bush said he had no glamorous New Year's Eve plans outside of hosting three Texas couples at his ranch. He expected to turn in at 9 or 10 p.m., he said. Asked about a resolution for 2002, he said: "Eat fewer cheeseburgers."

From the President's radio address to the nation: "Good morning. Two thousand and one has been a year that Americans will always remember. We suffered great loss, and we found a new unity. We were attacked, and we responded swiftly. We have seen the strength of America in countless acts of kindness, compassion and courage." This one is from Christmas Eve - President Bush was making calls to the military.
