New Year: a holiday or not?

You don't have to celebrate and have fun just because "it's New Year".

For everyone?

New Year isn't a holiday "for everyone", as people tend to think.

For some, this day is tied to unpleasant memories, to frustration over promises to themselves they didn't keep, or to having no plans, which can be upsetting too.

It's okay

It's great if you have the desire and the energy for the holiday and you sincerely enjoy everything going on around you.

It's just as great and completely normal if for you it's an ordinary day, and you'd rather spend it without the New Year bustle, and decorating the house and all the other chores just aren't your thing.

Drop everything you can afford to drop, and do what feels important and valuable to you.

New Year doesn't have to be "perfect" or "the way it's supposed to be".

Expectations may not be met, and that's normal.

Purpur wish

What matters is feeling comfortable with how you spend this day, without feeling pressure from outside.

Purpur wishes you to reconstruct the holiday into something that feels right for you.
