2020 has tur­ned our li­ves up­si­de down. Many are all the hap­pier to put this year be­hind them and start with re­ne­wed hope for an end to Co­ro­na in 2021.

For many peo­p­le, New Year’s Eve ce­le­bra­ti­ons were dif­fe­rent than usu­al. Due to the on­go­ing lock­down and the cur­few, lar­ger par­ties were for­bidden and peo­p­le ce­le­bra­ted in the in­ner cir­cle of their own fa­mi­ly. So the evening could be spent with walks, long con­ver­sa­ti­ons and board games, be­fo­re it was time at 12 o’­clock and the turn of the year was ce­le­bra­ted with a small fire­works from the lef­to­vers of pre­vious years.

So, loo­king back, it was the quie­test New Year’s Eve I’ve had so far, but by no me­ans worse than the pre­vious ones, be­cau­se it brought my fa­mi­ly and me to deep con­ver­sa­ti­ons for quite some time and ever­yo­ne could cle­ar­ly feel the sup­port that the own fa­mi­ly gives.
