#Article First Release Challenge#"Farewell to the Twilight, fireworks every year", in a few days will enter the New Year's Day and New Year of 2024, in previous years, at this time, it is the time to put up lights and say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, and there will be many activities in the New Year, but the New Year's Day and New Year in 2024 are not ordinary.
I remember this time last year, it was the time when many people were accidentally "hit" at home after the new crown virus was released, and now that the new crown virus has disappeared for a year, people's work and life have long returned to normal, and the arrival of the New Year's Day and New Year is the time to celebrate and purchase New Year's goods, but before the 2024 New Year, it is not ordinary, these 5 "strange phenomena" are very different from previous years.
1. There are almost no schools holding New Year's parties
Every New Year's Eve, many schools will hold some New Year's parties in each class the day before the holiday, so that the children can be relieved from the heavy schoolwork and let everyone have a New Year's party together.
Every year's New Year's party, parents are also willing to contribute, but this year it seems that this activity is not at all, because so far the children's class group is still quiet, there is no movement, it is estimated that tomorrow after class will give the children an early holiday home.
I don't know if it's because of the flu that happened recently, because the class of the child's school doesn't seem to have all the students in the class this semester, especially recently there are people who have taken leave because of fever and cough every day.
2. The hotel's New Year's Eve dinner is very deserted
In the past, at the end of the year, many hotels in order to give back to customers in gratitude, for the big customers who often come to consume will send New Year's Eve dinner or buffet rolls, etc., and many units in order to reward employees, and increase the cohesion of the team, will choose the New Year's Eve unit annual meeting in high-end hotels.
However, this year this situation is very rare, originally our unit used to do it every year, the epidemic has not been done in the past few years, I thought it would be lively this year, but now it seems to be in the soup, and many friends around the unit do not engage in this kind of activities, in the words of many office workers, it is better to use the spare money to give everyone a point.
3. The temperature does not fall but rises
The cooling and heavy snow around the winter solstice have not completely melted until now, and it is not yet the weather that has not yet entered the number nine, and this cold weather at that time makes many people think that it will be very cold on New Year's Day this year and next year's New Year, after all, the coldest number nine cold days of the year have now begun.
However, the temperature has risen significantly before the New Year, and the maximum temperature in our northeastern coastal city has even returned to above 0°C, and the signs of warming up are also obvious, and the temperature during the 2024 New Year is not very low, it seems that everyone can have a warm New Year's holiday.
4. There are not many young people who plan to have a baby dragon
2024 is the Year of the Dragon in the lunar calendar, the dragon is the symbol of the Chinese nation, and has always been a symbol of good luck, every year of the dragon will usher in a wave of fertility peaks, because the dragon is auspicious and lucky in everyone's eyes.
There are a lot of newlyweds who will get married in 2023, because my family has participated in no less than 5 weddings this year, but many young people who have just married around me have no plans to have babies for the time being, and they are all thinking about enjoying the two-person world for a few more years while they are young, and many old people do not have the will to urge their children to hold their grandchildren as soon as possible, and now I really don't know if 2024 is the year when baby dragons are born, anyway, the last few years of the dragon are the peak period for newborn births, especially the year of the dragon in the millennium.
5. Meat, eggs and vegetables do not rise but fall
Every year, at the end of the year, there will be a peak consumption period, and before the New Year, because the temperature is relatively low, the transportation and loss of meat, eggs and vegetables will increase, and the demand for the festival is large, so it will usher in a wave of rise.
But before the New Year this year is not ordinary, the price of meat and eggs has always been relatively stable, and the price of eggs has declined, now ordinary eggs have been from more than 5 yuan some time ago, down to about 4.7 yuan, and vegetables in addition to cucumbers and eggplants such as out-of-season vegetables, many seasonal vegetable prices have not risen, such as chrysanthemum, rape, cabbage and spinach and other winter vegetables, the price is not very high.
The 2024 New Year is about to begin, and this year is really different from previous years.
