translated from Spanish: Filo, explains Why is December never one more month in Argentina?

In Argentina, with each December coming, social tension rises and a little bit of a strange feeling that everything could get out of control. It is sadly funny that many Decembers think that the coming one will be the hardest. But what happens this month? Why is everything out of control? When the 12th month comes, not only does a new month come, but a different feeling takes over our bodies: the end of the year, which indicates that something ends, that there will be changes, that there are parties, family gatherings, job meetings and a whole series of rituals that more than celebrate, sometimes seem like a punishment. And add to this the temperature, yes, the heat. Did you know that heat increases fluid retention and can cause muscle cramps and contractures? It also produces sunstrokes, thermal shocks, lipothymias, burns. Not to mention exhaustion and fatigue. 2020, as I don’t have to tell you, is being one of the hardest years for everyone. But this new year’s eve, in all the pale, it seems to have come with some good news. In principle, there are concrete advances in the coronavirus vaccine and this is to celebrate. Always with responsibility and prudence, but let me at least celebrate one this year.
