Before the year ends  [1]

I was at English speaking class yesterday. We discussed our annual results: achievements, disappointments, and most significant events. I want to share with you my year's resume.
I think it was the most thorny year in my life.  None of the wishes [2] that I made on the previous New Year's Eve came true. [3] But I've done a lot of new things I never thought I could do. I have learnt to swim. I have done splits. I began learning Korean this Autumn.
But I have been disappointed in my job. It was a very stressful year for me. My boss tried to fire me just because we had a psychological conflict. Womens things, you know... But she went on maternity leave last month, thanks God. A new management team has arrived at our company. I don't know what to expect from my new bosses, but I feel tired already. I'm looking forward to my vacation in Thailand. It begins on December 28th and it will lasts for almost three weeks.
And I have already made my new wish list for next New Year's Eve.  Do you know what wishes you want to come true next year?:)

[1] Your title is perfectly correct.  But here's a good alternative:  Before the year's end

[2] "wish list" is possible.  I just want to explain that we traditionally speak of "New Year's resolutions", which are things we hope to accomplish during the new years, e.g. stop smoking, lose weight, etc.  However, a "wish" is different from a "resolution," because a "wish" is something that you simply hope will happen; buy a "resolution" is something you promise yourself that you will do.

      If you want to use the word "resolution," you could say, "I didn't fufill any of the resolutions I made on the previous New Year's Eve."  And:  "And I have already made my New Year's resolutions for next year."

[3]  the night of the previous New Year =  the night of January 1.   The night of January 1 is not considered a particularly significant date in the US.  Is it important in Russia?  

      New Year's Eve =  the night of December 31.  This is considered a significant occasion in the US, and I think also in Russia.  This is why I changed your sentence to refer to New Year's Eve.
