I love this question-- my "normal" view is a circle with December on the right (3 o'clock), and the year going counter-clockwise. I have some vague memory of a calendar laid out in this way, and it's colored my mental image ever since.
Another cool thing I've noticed is that my visual perspective of the year shifts with the year. During the first quarter, I view the circle from outside the Q1 portion of the ring with the distinct understanding that I'm viewing it "upside down". And as the months go by, so does my position in the circle and my perspective on the rest of the year.
