The arrivals that begin before midnight on New Year's Eve and end after the second breakfast.

The newyearguestwave rolls through the night in generations: the early, the midnight, and the survivors. Its host sleeps in shifts. The wave's last members leave at noon, at peace, and the house resets by two, with the year already fully begun.

Etym. — New Year + guest wave — the tidal visiting of the longest night.

Rel. — partyarrivalcurve
