I don't expect anything. If I need something, I just take measures to get it. However, I don't share all sorts of "it's all a meaningless symbol, and you're all like animals, enjoying it" sentiments either. I'll spend time with my parents, give them gifts, look at my own gifts, take a walk with a friend around the New Year's city, look around, and listen to loud, vulgar (or maybe not just vulgar) songs on my phone, and chat. It will be great, I know!
Where do we end up when we save the world?
