A significant number of commentators said they want health for themselves and their loved ones, and to spend the New Year with family. Others had more specific wishes: to take up snowboarding, give birth to a healthy son, find a husband, and «just to keep the stress away.»

‘Not frantic, massive shopping sprees for the whole “crowd,” not cooking until you drop on the 30th and 31st, not all this fuss that makes your eye start twitching in October — but a real holiday, one that«s a pleasure.
