The Euro finally ends, the EU first splits in two and finally collapses. Some kind of other smaller "european communities" may be scrapped together afterwards.

The economy will tank after the holidays. Gingrich will have an upswing because of it, then tank.
Romney picks Bachman as VP. Romney vs. Obama debates are heated and the race is close. I think Obama wins it though.
Mayan paleoastronomy becomes interesting. Public interest in UFOs continues to be high. But no non-man made end of world.

Romney/Rubio beats Obama in the elections, despite Trump taking the wacko vote.
The Washington Redskins finish the season 8-8.
Thousands die after their heads fall off from laughing so hard over the panic about the Mayan calendar.

And literally any other year, this would be the height of insanity, suggesting that the average public is interested in paleoastronomy. Only in 2012.
My prediction: economy continues to remain terrible through the summer, at least. I keep working, life goes on.
Big ones, I know.

The economy tanks, natural disasters increase in frequency (or at least will appear to), and on the infamous date, December 21, 2012, the elites of the world will band together, massacre 95% percent of the world's population, with Americans executed en masse in "FEMA concentration camps", and people elsewhere being executed in questionable "safe havens", and the survivors will be enslaved. The world itself doesn't end, but it turns into a very crappy place to live, at least for us commoners.

Depending on the election outcome, I foresee two possibilities:
If Obama wins, then on the fateful day of December 21, 2012, an interdimensional portal opens in a West Virginian coal mine. From this pit the old god Cthulu shall rise, then look down on the terrified masses, and demand to see Obama's birth certificate. The collective sigh of disappointment blasts the old one into space, where a UFO on its way to lay waste to the earth decides instead to just pick up the guy for a circus act.
If, on the other hand, Donald Trump wins (after reentering the race with his hair as VP), then his victory speech in November will be so terrible as to somehow spark a world war between pro-French and pro-Turkish spheres (because you know they're never going to get over this thing). As the US GDP somehow drops to negative numbers in the following weeks, a small group of pizza-related activists crucifies Trump on top of the White House. When the aliens arrive on the solstice and naturally turn their cameras on Washington first, what they see causes them to think they've taken a wrong turn and they leave Earth forever.
So either way, no apocalypse. You can rest easy.
(In all seriousness, I have no idea what the new year brings. I think Obama has a better chance than any of the republican candidates so far, I think that the Syrian and Russian protestors might actually make some progress, and I really hope the EU doesn't go down. As a general rule, economic instability leads to sociopolitical instability which self-propagates. We'll be alright, though, in the end.)
