On January 1, we all celebrate this fabulous winter holiday.
New Year- a magical holiday, a special favorite! It is unlikely that anyone will argue with this. New Year's excitement and bustle, bright sparkling shop windows, elegant Christmas trees decorated with beautiful balls in the squares, New Year's parties, blue lights, and most importantly - a gift under the tree from Santa Claus! Remember yourself as a child? Well, who among us has not written letters to Grandfather Frost? “You should definitely open the window in the evening,” my mother said seriously. And the morning of January 1st - remember? Barefoot in pajamas, little feet stomp quickly to the Christmas tree, to check whether Santa Claus came at night... Ridiculous, funny, reckless, crazy, magical... Let this fairy tale will also enter your home. Have you noticed how people change on the streets during the New Year holidays? Everyone around seems to be becoming kinder. Happy New Year greetings can be heard from all sides: “Happy New Year,” “Happy New Year!”, “Merry Christmas.” And sometimes complete strangers, random passers-by, in a store, tram and metro will find a second to exchange New Year wishes with a neighbor. Isn't this a miracle? You shouldn’t break such a good tradition, stock up on New Year’s greetings in advance, Happy New Year, and wish those around you that their wishes come true, faith in the best, and simply health and happiness, which could be more necessary and important!
Happy New Year greetings are an art! Not everyone is able to congratulate a person in such a way that he is surprised. Happy New Year greetings should be original and individual. Otherwise, imagine: you congratulate a person, and you can see from his eyes and smile that this is not the first time he has heard this verse. New Year's greetings must correspond to the age and status of the person being congratulated. It is unlikely that grandparents will understand even a word from some youth poem. It's best if New Year's greetings will be compiled by professionals.
What to give for the New Year? How to meet? What to cook? How many questions each of us has? The New Year's bustle, the shine of Christmas tree garlands and shop windows, we all find ourselves in this mesmerizing New Year's tale, in which everyone is looking for and waiting for something of their own, dream wishes... they will certainly come true, you just have to believe in it! And give this hope to loved ones and friends, along with New Year’s greetings, gifts and beautiful wishes in verse.
Do you believe in Santa Claus?
How, perhaps, we all would like to become at least a little bit of a child on this holiday, so that a fairy tale will spin the round dance cherished desires, and made sure to fulfill one cherished wish for each!
New Year... what is it?
Everyone will answer in their own way, but undoubtedly, this is a good mood, a beautiful Christmas tree sparkling with multi-colored lights, tinsel, streamers and rain, many gifts under the Christmas tree, an ice slide, a snowman, bouquets of fireworks in the New Year's sky, these are fun New Year's competitions, matinees for kids in kindergarten, blue lights for adults, this is a wonderful New Year's table with lots of New Year's salads, snacks, and definitely a bottle of champagne and cake!

People celebrate New Year and Christmas, dress up christmas tree for many centuries.
New Year is a special holiday and everyone, adults and children, expects some kind of miracle from it and deep down in their hearts they wish to receive New Year's gifts. Therefore, on the morning of January 1, everyone will sneak a glance under the Christmas tree in the hope of finding at least a small New Year's gift from Santa Claus!
It has always been believed that a real gift should be presented sincerely, with good wishes and Happy New Year. In other words, a gift is valuable and pleasant if given from a pure heart. It should give pleasure not only to the one who receives it, but also to the one who gives it. And this is true, let us remember our childhood, where everything is sincere, incorruptible and honest. What pleasure did you have in making gifts as a child for your mothers, fathers, grandparents? The happy ones gave them their doodles on album sheets or ridiculous crafts made from plasticine. And now you yourself are accepting with admiration the same gifts from your children.
Now we have grown up, but the essence of the gift has not changed. You need to put a special meaning into it, feel like a magician performing cherished dream loved one. How do you know what to give? Yes, you just need to be a little more careful. A passing statement may give you an idea. Or more inventive. So you can choose toys for the children yourself, or you can invite them to write a letter to Santa Claus with congratulations and wishes. Imagine what will happen on the morning of the first of January, when a child discovers what he dreamed of under the tree!
You can give trinkets such as a Santa Claus figurine or a Zodiac sign to not very close friends and relatives. Original gifts and all sorts of jokes should be given only to trusted people whose reaction you can predict.
| What is New Year? New Year - frost and ice! And in the dancing snowflakes Invisible springs - This is what it means, this is what New Year means! New Year's poems I am Frost, Red Nose, | Santa Claus walked through the forest Past the maples and birches, Past the clearings, past the stumps, I walked through the forest for eight days. He walked through the forest - I decorated the Christmas trees with beads. On this New Year's night He'll take them down for the boys. There is silence in the clearings, The yellow moon is shining... All the trees are silver Hares are dancing on the mountain, The ice sparkles on the pond, New Year is coming! Happy New Year!

Why, you ask? Well, firstly, no other holiday (not only in Russia, but also in the world) is celebrated on such a grand scale! It is on this day that thousands of people congratulate each other on the holiday, saying kind words and wishes.
Secondly, this is a holiday of magic: we make wishes (no matter who Santa Claus or to a loved one) and they come true! Thirdly, we do not break traditions that have developed over the years. We decorate the Christmas tree, buy tangerines, open champagne as the chimes strike and, of course, wait for Father Frost and the Snow Maiden to visit.
On no other night do we all sit at the festive table with our family and friends, and in general, few of us eat at night. New Year's fireworks will outshine any others in beauty and scale. On no other day are telephone operators so overloaded with numerous calls and SMS. The uniqueness of this holiday is also that we celebrate each year only once (2010, 2011, 2020... will never be repeated). And we begin to prepare for the holiday almost a month in advance - it’s all vanity, but pleasant New Year’s vanity, justified, because we all know that the New Year is a special holiday.
By eastern calendar the Tiger will be replaced by a metallic white Rabbit or Cat (whichever is closer). Let’s not say for long that in order to earn the favor of the new owner of the year, it is advisable to meet him in everything new (as regards clothes), there must be a fish on the table for the Cat and a carrot for the Rabbit... And it doesn’t matter where you celebrate the holiday: whether at home, in a cafe or club, on an airplane, at a resort, or in other equally interesting places, the most important thing, as the famous song says: let “the good mood not leave you,” and everything else will follow.
Happy upcoming holiday to you, Happy New Year 2011!
In the first second after midnight on January 1, Saturday will give way to Sunday. As a rule, such a transition does not have any special significance. However, the change of year is of particular importance and special symbolism for us. This unique moment encourages us to leave all our worries and routines behind to look back, take stock, evaluate what we have done, and decide what to do next. Apart from birthdays, perhaps no other moment during the year receives this kind of attention. Everyone loves to celebrate it.
To survive
Why does the beginning of a new year have such special symbolism? And why is its celebration so widespread around the world, or at least where there are calendars? This behavior, of course, is associated with something internal in the human consciousness, something deeply meaningful and important, considering how much energy and resources we invest in the holiday, how much effort we make to make this moment special, removing many prohibitions. For what? It may be that the symbolism we attach to this moment is associated with one of the most powerful motivations - the desire of humanity to survive.
The reason for the celebration is obvious, because we celebrate birthdays and New Years every 365 days to give a chronological assessment of our lives using a unit of measurement - a year. Hooray! Finally, another year is over and we are still alive! It's time to raise our glasses and drink to those who survived, and remember those who did not live to see this date this year.
This holiday allows us to sum up some results and judge how to live better, longer and of higher quality. It is a natural desire to have at least a rough idea of what lies ahead, because the future without forecasts looks very alarming and foggy. Without knowing what awaits us, we cannot prepare for these events to protect ourselves. We make serious decisions, make many promises to ourselves: quit smoking, play sports, lead healthy image life and start saving. It is not so important whether we will be able to keep our promise next year; what is important is the moment of realizing that a person is able to control the situation, which means that even on difficult days he will be able to maintain composure.
Scientifically proven
Research by psychologist Richard Wiseman in 2007 found that for many of us, the words of the U2 song are true: “Nothing changes on New Year’s Day.” 3,000 people summed up their results on New Year's Eve, and 88% of them failed to achieve their goals, although 52% were confident that they would achieve them no matter what. This is just a summary of the research, but it does provide some suggestions on how to make your life better.
It is interesting to note that people, when giving instructions to themselves on New Year's Eve, usually want the best treatment, new friends to be faithful, and debts to be repaid. This has been the case throughout our history. Therefore, by the New Year, people strive to do all the most important things. The Babylonians repay their debts. Jews hope for forgiveness. The Scots go to visit their neighbors to wish them success in the coming year. What do all these social behaviors have to do with survival? It's simple. We are social animals. We have evolved to depend on others for our own health and safety. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. It turns out that this principle is an excellent survival strategy that is still relevant today.
More prayers
Many people are determined to pray more. It makes sense from a survival point of view too. Almighty power can make people's lives safer if they pray more. Jews pray at the beginning of their new year to be able to write their name in the "Book of Life" for the following year. And although death is inevitable, throughout history people have dealt with the fear of death, affiliated with religions that promise a happy and serene ending, a calm afterlife. Pray more, and death will no longer seem so scary.
Rituals to attract good luck
There are hundreds of rituals associated with the New Year holidays aimed at exercising control over one's destiny. The Dutch, for whom the circle shape is a symbol of success, eat donuts on New Year's Eve. The Greeks bake a special Vassilopitta - a cake with a coin inside, which grants good luck for the coming year to whoever finds it in their piece. Fireworks on New Year's Eve in China, like thousands of years ago, are a way of driving out evil spirits. The Japanese, celebrating Bonenkai (New Year), say goodbye to the problems of the past year and prepare for better life in the new year. Disagreements and misunderstandings between people must be resolved, grievances must be put aside. In the ritual of New Year's celebrations, houses are cleansed, bad vibrations are eliminated, and space is made for better events.
Motivation
The New Year is the moment when we can examine our weaknesses and understand what needs to be done so that thoughts about the unknown future do not disturb us. It is interesting that different cultures most often use the same holiday - New Year - for such actions. All this is dictated by the basic fundamental desire of humanity - to survive, even despite unfavorable circumstances.
Let's sum it up
So, how can you calm yourself down and distract yourself from the thought of imminent death? Donuts, special cakes with coins, fireworks and a glass of champagne with the usual toast: “To survive!” are suitable.
New Year is the most wonderful, most long-awaited holiday for many. Children sit down with a blank sheet of paper and write letters to Santa Claus with numerous requests for talking dolls, radio-controlled cars, railways or beautiful dresses. Adults also prepare for this holiday, but in their own way: they determine the list of guests, organize parties, buy food and drinks... For all of us, the New Year is a special holiday, from which everyone expects something different: new toy or family well-being. For everyone, the New Year is a way to change their life for the better, and we all try to prepare for this holiday to the maximum.
For example, choose suitable outfit. From the pages of magazines and from the TV screen everyone is vying with each other to say that correct color and the form of clothing is the key to happiness in the coming year! But what exactly should you wear for New Year 2013?
Mascot 2013
It is the talisman that largely determines the choice of color and style of the festive outfit. The talisman for the coming year is the Black Water Snake. Black color is space, the depth of water. The Black Snake brings unexpected changes, instability and variability to people. Therefore, next year it is necessary to plan and think about everything in advance, and only then do something. We need to become more careful and circumspect.
So, what to wear for New Year 2013
The female image should be bright, even a little provocative. Dresses are best suited, and the style can be any of your choice. The colors of the dresses should be bright. Shades of green and blue are suitable, because the element of the Snake is water. To attract success and prosperity, choose a combination of black and gold. If you are looking to strengthen your influence and power, a combination of orange and green is suitable. For those who are looking forward to the coming year new love or development of an existing one, it is advised to choose a red or purple outfit. As for fabrics, light and flowing materials are good: silk, satin, chiffon, shiny and iridescent fabrics, as well as fabrics with snake print. As you can see, the images for the New Year are very bright and open up great opportunities for experimentation.
What should men wear for the New Year 2013? Suits are best dark colors, especially the blue tint. There are no clear rules - the choice is yours!
Don't forget about your hairstyle. The snake is a symbol of experimentation. Try something new, refresh your look with interesting haircuts or bright hair color. It is not necessary to change your hair color radically; you can use a tinted shampoo, which will wash off after a while.
New Year is a special holiday...
New Year is not just another holiday, such as Independence Day or Constitution Day. Still, this holiday is something magical, something that can change our lives for the better.
That's why you shouldn't worry too much about small parts. The colors that are recommended for clothing in the coming year don’t suit you? No problem! After all, what to wear for the New Year 2013 is not so important as how and with whom to celebrate it! Take care, first of all, of pleasant company, beloved friends and relatives who will be with you in those moments when the clock strikes twelve! And everything else will follow.
Happy holidays and see you in the new year!
In Russia, it is customary to celebrate holidays at home, with family, full of cozy warmth. This is correct, but what to do if year after year everything flows as before and no longer evokes joyful trembling in the soul? New Year- a special holiday, full of jokes, colorful garlands, chocolates, kind, naive fairy tales. In the center of the room, an elegant Christmas tree shines, and a pointed star shimmers with all the colors of the rainbow. Festive table filled with salads, fruits, the bottles of sparkling lemonade glittering with gold, and the laughter of children ringing in your ears. Every child eagerly waits for Grandfather Frost to cross the threshold of the house with a cotton wool beard and a bag of gifts at the ready. What can I say, every adult is familiar with the feeling of boundless faith in miracles. You shouldn’t deprive your baby of a fairy-tale childhood. The only thing you need to consider is the age of the child. If the baby is under one year old, then noisy dancing, the clapping of firecrackers or screaming late into the night will not be to the baby’s taste. Don’t put all the holiday chores on yourself - give each family member something important to do, then everything will be done on time, without nerves or irritation.
How to celebrate the New Year in a special way
Meeting the New years will pass according to all the rules family traditions, but try to change the usual course of everyday life. Instead of cleaning, cooking or calling friends, get together and rush out into the street as a whole crowd. Take a look around. The New Year's atmosphere is as if electricity is in the air, and the people around are happy, carefree, like little children. If you are already tired, your body will naturally fill with energy, and your lips will stretch into a smile. Having set aside one and a half to two hours, you can build a snowman with a friendly group, paint it with paints, or make ice-cold, burning lanterns that can be hidden in a snowdrift.
If you live in a village, you are very lucky. All the worldly vanity will dissolve in the glow of the snow behind the fence, and the Christmas tree can be alive, and every year delight you with its spruce smell and spreading, lush branches. Visit your grandparents, spend the day meeting your loved ones. If village life does not impress you, visit New Year's fairs, go to a theater production. On the eve of the holiday, carnivals and magical competitions are held in which your child can win a small but such a welcome gift from Santa Claus. If the baby is very small, invite Santa Claus home. Just keep in mind that some small children are scared of big, unfamiliar guys. The role of a fairy-tale good-natured man can be played by the head of the family. Collectively writing a letter with wishes to a distant magical land will unite the family and create a mysterious atmosphere in every home. Don’t think about problems and everyday troubles - after all, December 31st comes only once a year, and, as you know, how you meet it is how you spend it.
Celebrating the New Year in warm countries
Traveling abroad is undoubtedly a dramatic change in climate and a storm of enthusiastic emotions. New Year without snow, blizzard or blizzard - what could be more unusual? The only negative: sudden changes in time zones and temperatures can have a negative impact on the body, so children should no longer be small, but school age. To get closer to the fairy tale, go to Finland - because that’s where the legendary Santa Claus lives. You will get everything you wished for - ice palaces and statues, cartoon characters, talking deer, gnomes and elves with gifts. Don't miss the opportunity to go ice skating. However, this can be easily done in your homeland. How to celebrate the New Year depends entirely on your imagination. The main rule is not to quarrel and not to be sad. Good mood– the key to happiness for the whole family!
