Subject: How long does it take you to get used to it being a new year?

You know what I mean, there will have been people over the past week still writing 2012 on documents/the reality of it being a new year wouldn't have really sunk in immediatley. How long does it normally take to sink in when it's a new year?

I'd say about 10 days but it lasts probably until February until it's really normal to me. 2013 still sounds kind of weird to me - somehow very futuristic.
Since I like discussing years or decades and their pop culture, it nearly never happens that I write the old year on papers etc. However I am doing the mistake sometimes with the months for some reason...

By early March is when I'm 100% feeling a new year!

I remember feeling that "2011" sounded futuristic to me at the end of 2010. :D

January 2nd, for after a heavy night of wine and song, you know for sure that it is the New Year!

When I was playing Grand Theft Auto II in the early 2000s, I have read somewhere that the story was supposed to be set in 2013 (however not officially). It sounded like far future to me and the cars and some content of the story looked indeed futuristic... and now we're in that year. 8)

Cars of today indeed look futuristic in my opinion. I'm actually still used to the boxy cars of the 80s or the slightly rounded cars of the 90s, because they were the norm as late as 2004-05.
A typical 80's car is like this:

Anyway, my birthday is on the 16th so I'd say it really feels like the new year by then. 8)
