So, we're in 2026. The process of getting into a new year is mostly a busy, loud thing.

How do you do it? Do you have any ways of coping or getting around the stress?

For me it's mostly limiting the amount of people and having a safe space to be able to go back to when needed. But I am pondering better methods.

Edit: I mean the new years eve, party and fireworks directly.

I dont see much difference between getting into a new year and getting into the next day. "New year" is a made up, arbitrary thing.

Yes yes, I know, but the issue is as often with the people around us.

They make a big fuzz. If you have family it might not be possible to just ignore everyone.

So what is your situation, how are you able to just ignore it.
