and I won’t even have time to enjoy it?)

Power/status/influence/respect

It's a good option, but no one will just give it to you.

It doesn't seem like much.
Remember all the good things that happened, summarize the year, damn, seeds, beer, close friends, a BMW, a familiar bar! Ah-ah, guys, let's go, let's have some fun, ah-ah.

Apparently, not really.

but it's actually the opposite :P

and I've already summed it up, yes.
They lost a lot of crops due to the heat, rivers dried up, and various bodies of water disappeared. It's all losses and disappointments.

The others are also unlikely. Excluding the first two.
But you can wish for anything.

And you're talking about some kind of joy, lol. Nothing good happened to you, at least Sauron hasn't sent his army to the Shire yet, so the hobbits are safe.

Yes, I'm just sitting here guarding the border.

By the way, where's my little one?! Come here.

Oh yes, there were many new acquaintances this year, too. I hope they will be beneficial in the future.

Hey, the New Year is indeed just an ordinary day, but it gives us a reason to get together, have fun, and chat... and how you use this opportunity is entirely up to you.
I haven't really planned how I'll celebrate yet; I don't have time. I've just been invited to various gatherings, like school, group events, and ice skating, etc. But I don't really feel like drinking.
And I also want to say that giving gifts is very enjoyable.

but it gives us a reason to get together

why does everyone need this reason? Can't we just get together, have fun, and chat without a reason?) Okay, on weekdays there's school and work, but there are weekends. New Year's is also a holiday.

It's like we shouldn't meet without a reason, everyone should just go away, etc. Is that what you mean?) I don't know about you, but I can throw myself a party whenever I want.

voted for the first one because they are really needed right now, and I can also buy a gift if necessary. No one will buy it better than I will. It's obvious. Plus, I can use them for a trip.

and it would be even better, just like in the song "All I Want For Christmas Is You".

of course, you can get together just like that, but it won't be as festive and large-scale. but on this day, we are all united and breathe in the scent of tangerines and pine needles, and that's what creates a special atmosphere that we need to embrace. besides, it's a tradition.

besides, it's a tradition

pff

festive and large-scale.

the holiday is different for everyone; I would be more happy to meet you than to celebrate the New Year.
large-scale? Do you mean there will be fewer friends on a regular day, or that all the other people aren't celebrating with you? If it's about friends, then maybe. But in my case, I don't have that problem))) And I don't care about the rest.

When your own depressing existence, oozing from every pore, prevents you from participating in the festivities even once a year, that's bad. And yet, this isn't just an "ordinary day" that can be replaced with any other by gathering together. It's a new, major chronological period when people celebrate another orbit of the Earth around the Sun; it's a holiday of astronomical proportions. You don't need to go to math class at school or have anal sex in the office; the pre-New Year suite, the feeling that the whole planet is celebrating with you, unlike some individual birthdays, the pleasant contrast of colorful tinsel and string lights on a green Christmas tree, snowflakes lazily falling from the sky, and Santa Claus, a pedophile, shouting "ho-ho-ho." All of this happens only once a year. A year is a long time.
These are all the reasons you were interested in. Whether you want to be happy about it or not is up to you.

Whether to be happy about it or not is up to you.

That's the point. It's a fake kind of joy. But to feel genuine joy, you don't need all these people celebrating, the decorations, the gifts, and so on. Sometimes, all it takes is one person who can bring more joy than all those things combined on New Year's. But here, the question is more about values, preferences...

That's the point. It's a false sense of joy. But to feel genuine joy, you don't need all these people, who are also celebrating, with decorations, gifts, and so on.

You can't feel it because you're too callous and gloomy. Others can.

Sometimes, just one person is enough.

Will you finally stop?
