*lol* very nice.

actually - the Mayan calendar doesn't end in 2012. But it sells better to tell everybody that it ends. It only tells about some "event". Not more:

Quote from: Wikipedia

Misinterpretation of the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar is the basis for a popular belief that a cataclysm will take place on December 21, 2012. December 21, 2012 is simply the day that the calendar will go to the next b'ak'tun.

Sandra Noble, executive director of the Mesoamerican research organization FAMSI, notes that "for the ancient Maya, it was a huge celebration to make it to the end of a whole cycle". She considers the portrayal of December 2012 as a doomsday or cosmic-shift event to be "a complete fabrication and a chance for a lot of people to cash in."

So everyone should please also plan for Christmas gifts this year.
