well, relatively
the attitude towards you doesn't make someone good or bad. it's their attitude towards you, and that's it
New Year's is always depressing, there's no need to even talk about it. fairy tales, miracles, wishes... nonsense
Although not always: I still remember how, when I was a little kid, I was terribly afraid of him, it was like the first time he came to visit. He held out a candy to me, and I stood there crying. In the end, I took the candy and ran to hide behind the curtain xD
although I once slept through New Year's, until morning, but that was also when I was a kid

And in general, I agree with Aro (:eek:). In reality, any holiday is just a day when people decide to be nice and give each other gifts. And only children enjoy it completely.
If you want to sincerely give a gift, give it on any day. There's no point in insincerely giving gifts, or just to flatter someone. And you can be in a good mood at any time when there's a reason, not by forcing a fake smile and saying that it's New Year's, so you have to be happy, because a whole old year - 365 days - has passed, and now there will be a new year, and so on.
Although when you give useful and necessary gifts, the smile won't be fake, and the mood will really improve) but, as I said, it's not necessary to do it on holidays.
And I also want to say that it's very pleasant to give gifts.
