A situation familiar to many people: on the calendar on December 30, and in my head there is a mess of thoughts about the Christmas tree, decorating the house, the festive menu and own outfit. In order not to fuss on New Year's Eve, but to wait for the holiday in sweet anticipation, it is necessary to plan preparation in advance.
Instructions
Step 1
Preparations for the New Year must begin in October. It was during this period that restaurants, cafes and recreation centers began to offer a celebration. If you are planning to celebrate the New Year away from home, book your seat as early as possible. First, you will have the option to choose. And, secondly, closer to December, prices for banquets will increase significantly.
Step 2
At the beginning of December, start taking care of your appearance. Lose a couple of extra pounds that were left for later. Make an appointment with a beautician, manicurist, while there are free places. If you're celebrating at a restaurant, consider a professional makeup and hair style. The month before the New Year is the time to decide on the outfit. You have several weeks to buy the desired dress, accessories and shoes. By the end of December, there will be much more people in stores.
Step 3
A couple of weeks before the New Year, do a general cleaning of the house, throw away all old and unnecessary things. The end of the year is a great reason to leave all unnecessary in the past. Decorate your office with your colleagues, upload New Year songs to the playlist. List gifts for family, coworkers, and friends. Start buying them on the sly.
Step 4
From December 20, you can safely decorate the house, put up a Christmas tree, cut snowflakes. If done earlier, the festive atmosphere can get boring. If you postpone it even later, you risk not being in time for anything. As you celebrate the New Year at home, discuss the holiday menu with your family. Include both proven and new foods. Make a list of the necessary foods, count the number of drinks, sweets and fruits. Don't forget to plan your entertainment program.
Step 5
On December 27 or 28, go shopping for groceries. Believe me, a couple of days before the holiday, the shelves of even the largest supermarket will be half empty. On the 30th, make preparations for tomorrow's dishes: boil vegetables, marinate meat, etc. Make a plan for tomorrow.
Step 6
The schedule for December 31st depends entirely on your holiday program. If you are staying at home, prepare all meals before 5-6 pm. Leave only what can dry out: sandwiches, fruits, snacks. Dedicate the evening to yourself: take a shower or a bath, take your time to beauty, get dressed, decorate the table, call your family and friends. If you are celebrating outside the home, go around your family in the morning, congratulate you on the holiday and exchange gifts. In the afternoon, get ready for the upcoming party.
