I think the Maya will have a party on the Winter Solstice, December 21, 2012 (Gregorian Calendar), in honour of the start of the 13th Long Count. I think we should all help and celebrate with them.
I find it amazing that the Maya, who were and still are by some, regarded as 'savages', had a more accurate calendar and had the concept of 'zero' long before Western Civilisation. In fact, we might still not have a symbol for zero, had the Hindus and Arabs not taught us this!
is it true that the world is going to end on dec. 2012?
