There is nothing better than a holiday mood. Agree, because the expectation of the holiday, at times, brings much more joy than the holiday itself. So why not start preparing for the New Year now? In Europe and America, for example, Christmas and New Year's fuss begins in mid-November. And what we are worse? Nothing! Therefore, we do not put off preparation for a long time, but prepare ourselves for the New Year in advance.
To begin with, we propose to decide what exactly should be prepared for the holiday. First, you need to determine the company in which you plan to meet the New Year. Perhaps, the holiday will take place in the family circle, and perhaps in a noisy company of acquaintances and strangers. Secondly, you need to buy gifts to loved ones, send greeting cards on time to other cities. Thirdly, it is necessary to decide what to celebrate the New Year, where to meet it, what to put on the table, and many, many other important issues. So let's take care of everything in order.
Where to celebrate the New Year?
You can traditionally meet the New Year with a family and close friends. Whatever they say, the New Year was and still is a family holiday.
If you are a fan of noisy companies, then for you the ideal place to meet the New Year is the club. Go there with friends and girlfriends, and you are provided with a great mood.
Or maybe you dream of meeting the New Year abroad? Also very interesting option, and most importantly - memorable! You will have an opportunity to get acquainted with the traditions of celebrating the New Year in another country, not by hearsay.
What to celebrate the New Year?
You will not mind to surprise everyone with your stunning attire? Then prepare in advance for the New Year, and go shopping. The approaching year is recommended to meet in black, or shades of blue, because 2012 is the year of the black water dragon. However, at the same time, remember your personality. If you do not go black, then do not experiment with it. First, you will look in it not the best way, and secondly, you risk getting lost among the general mass of "people in black."
Prepare for a New Year's Eve at home? It's time to prepare your suit. Only in any case not sports! Remember the saying "How to celebrate the New Year, so you'll spend it." Therefore, so that the whole year not to sit at home in your home clothes, buy yourself a beautiful dress for the holiday. Let it be not a chic outfit from the latest collections of leading fashion designers, but at least a new dress or trouser suit.
What to give to relatives?
Do not forget to buy small gifts and souvenirs for your dear and close people. As such a gift, you can use statuettes or pendants in the form of a dragon, Chinese souvenirs (the symbol of the coming year is associated with all this country). Sweets can also be traditional gifts for the New Year.
What to submit to the table?
If you prepare a festive dinner yourself, then we advise you to prepare in advance, because by the New Year from the shelves of supermarkets often disappear some products, and those that are, can be stale goods.
On the New Year's table should be a lot of food - thus, it is accepted to "coax" the New Year. This year there should be a lot of hot dishes on the table, since the Dragon is still a fiery creature. Therefore, all kinds of roast, julienne, cutlets in Kiev and baked duck - what you need! But remember, too much fatty food is harmful to your stomach. And given that the holidays in our country begin on December 31, and end on January 14, do not overload the table with fried, pickled and spicy.
