Hey, New Year's is all about reinvention, isn't it?

You'll have to fiddle with what kind of pic works best; my one attempt to demonize my husband (solely in the spirit of the promo, of course) was underwhelming in terms of making him look the least bit possessed.

But the vid itself is kinda creepy, so try playing devil's advocate yourself at It Wants to Be Born.
