I'm a simple emigrant, two days are enough for me to rest

In Europe, New Year holidays last only one day—January 1. But everyone rests: finding a place to sit is hard, and all the rest of the trash (mostly fireworks and a bit of crap) will lie around until the second, when everyone goes back to work. The desire to party, of course, isn't knocked out absolutely, but not like in Russia: no one goes on a binge or endless rounds of visiting relatives and friends. All as usual: on December 31st start drinking at home, then to a club or a party. On the first, clean up/get yourself in order/sleep, and the second to work. And indeed everyone actually works, unlike the workdays between Christmas holidays and the New Year. Most likely, because the work process has started and there are no other holidays on the horizon, and also the main movement here is still Christmas. After it everyone comes to the office for appearances: 70% of people take vacation or work from home, and those who still come share stories about how the holidays went and how it’s planned to spend others, they take a two-hour lunch, and by four o'clock (some even by one) they start drinking. Moreover, there isn’t any particular urge to hurry home; sitting and drinking in the office (you can move to a bar, but what’s the difference?) suits everyone just fine. And what about me? I'm a simple emigrant, this is how it's done here - and I'm not lagging behind! #holidays
