Update: New Year's Eve

Just as I had suspected a couple of days ago, it looks like very little significant activity may be going on in the world for now. I speculated that it could end up becoming extremely quiet before it becomes heavily active. This could last on into next week or it could dramatically change today, tonight, or tomorrow. There should be much more to come within the next week or two. A magnitude 7 or greater is likely to strike somewhere in the world within the next two weeks so far.
Places that could be impacted by strong to major earthquake activity include: Indonesia(Sumatra, Java, Halmahera, Pulau), East Timor, New Guinea, Papua New Guinea, Japan(Bonin Islands, Ryukyu Islands, Hokkaido, Honshu, or Kyushu), Kuril Islands, Kamchatka Peninsula, Aleutian Islands, possibly the coast of British Columbia, Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, Tonga, Fiji, Kermadec Islands, Andaman Islands, China(Xinjiang, Xizang, Sichuan, or Yunnan), Pakistan, Tajikistan, Iran, Greece, Chile, Bolivia, Argentina, Peru, Colombia, Central America, and possibly the Puerto Rico Trench..
I'm still having a strong feeling a possible magnitude 8 or greater may occur any day now or sometime within the month. I have been growing increasingly concerned about the Puerto Rico Trench. That is capable of a massive tsunamigenic earthquake. I imagine that it is the very last thing residents of Puerto Rico want to think about as Hurricane Maria happened in the not-so-distant past. It made living conditions horrible. A major earthquake may also not occur at all, but it is again, better safe than sorry.
There may still be a lot more seismic activity heating up in Southern California this week and/or next week. There is still an extremely high chance of magnitude 4 or greater around here. There is still a chance more could be taking place in parts of Central and/or Northern California. There may also be some more seismic activity heating up in the Yellowstone area - a possible swarm getting ready to unfold. There have been some more very small quakes popping up around there.
