Hi Dragana,

The expression is 'avoir hâte d'être au 31' meaning to look forward to being on the 31st December.

Hope this helps!

I interpreted it as referring to the date (31 December)? Can it also mean she’s looking forward to it being 31 December, as well as this dressing up idiom ? (which I hadn’t know of before so thank you)
