Tired of celebrating in front of the TV? Go outside and organize a New Year's Eve in nature. If finances permit, you can rent a cottage at a recreation center, but best of all is your own private house or summer cottage. If you live in a multi-storey building and there is no way to get out into nature, just go outside for at least a couple of hours.
Plan your entertainment program ahead of time. In urban settings, for a start, you can just go for a walk along the festively decorated streets or go to the New Year's performance, which is traditionally held on the main square near the beautiful Christmas tree.
In large cities, open skating rinks and ice towns are open all night. You can go ice skating and arrange a festive photo session.
If you have at least a little enthusiasm and acting talent, rent the costumes of Santa Claus and Snow Maiden and congratulate your friends and family on the holidays. Or you can put on costumes and just go for a walk along the streets of the city, congratulating passers-by and giving small presents to the kids.
Celebrating the New Year outdoors is a great option for a fun and active pastime. Bring sledges, cheesecakes and ice cakes with you. Both adults and children love roller coaster rides. With children, you can make a snowman or start a snowball game.
A primordial Russian tradition is sleigh rides on three horses. Such fun requires preliminary preparation and organization, but it will bring a lot of positive emotions and impressions.
If a tree or pine tree grows on your site, be sure to decorate it and celebrate the New Year next to the forest beauty. Don't forget the sparklers and fireworks. And to make it not so cold, you can kindle a fire or brazier. Sparkling champagne in the fresh air with a hot barbecue is not a wonderful meeting of the holiday.
When celebrating the New Year outdoors, keep a few key points in mind. The main thing is to dress well, there is no need to dress up at the dacha in an evening dress and stiletto heels, a down jacket or warm overalls is the best form of clothing for active games in the frosty air. It is better to warn guests in advance and indicate the desired dress code. Do not overdo it with alcohol, drinks should be mostly hot, but not intoxicating. You should not spend the whole night outside, alternate active games in the fresh air with a friendly home meal, in this case the holiday will be not only tasty, but also fun.
