For the end of the year it is recommended to fast the last day of the year and the first day of the year. It is narrated that the Prophet (sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam) said, "Whoever fasts the last day of the year and the first day of the year, God makes it an expiation of fifty years for him, and fasting one day of Muharram is equal to thirty days of fasting."
Also it is mentioned in Kinza al-Surur, that if a person reads the following supplication three times at the end of the year, the Devil will say, "We tired ourselves with him all year, and he ruined all that we've done in one moment."
Subhana Allah, Allah has given us another chance, if we've been a bit lax during the year, to make up for it before the year is over. May Allah allow us the success in attaining these gifts.
In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful. God bless our Master Muhammad (sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam) and his family and companions and grant them peace. O God, whatever actions I have committed this past year which have not pleased You, which I may have forgotten though You do not forget, while You are forbearing with me though fully capable of punishing me, while You called me to relent and atone even after my audaciousness before You - O God, I surely seek Your forgiveness for that, so forgive me. O God, and as for my actions that have pleased You and for which recompense and forgiveness have been promised, please accept them from me. And do not dash my hopes in You, 0 Generous, O Most Merciful of the Merciful. And God, the Exalted, bless our Master Muhammad and his family and companions and grant them peace. (3 times)
