Drop Off
This is the day after all the celebrations that started well before Christmas in November and end on New Year's Day We might be looking ahead to Twelfth Night (Jan 5) and Epiphany (Jan 6) in some cultures with a strong religious orientation. Here in North America, it all goes quiet.
It turns out that Costa Rica is full of early January celebrations. The Palmares Fiestas starts the first week of January and is "two weeks of concerts, bullfighting, folklore dancing and general debauchery". The first week also has the Coffee Cup: "a much-anticipated, week-long juniour tennis tournament. And there's the Alajuelita Fiestas - "an oxcart parade and party to honour the Black Christ of Esquipulas, Alajuela." So there's no end of fun in Costa Rica, no cliff after January 1st.
Perhaps it is time to schedule for next year's after-Christmas holiday in Costa Rica.
