Try to explain to a foreigner what the Old New Year is. Most likely, he will not understand why, after the introduction of the new calendar, they kept the tradition of celebrating the New Year according to the old calendar a second time. But, nevertheless, in Russia this strange tradition has taken root. And many, albeit not on such a scale as the main New Year, still celebrate this holiday. How to celebrate it? Here are some ideas.
Instructions
Step 1
Old New Year is the last in a series of New Year's holidays and you need to meet it with dignity - set a small but pleasant festive table. Be sure to stock up on a bottle of champagne and tangerines.
Step 2
Let this holiday be another opportunity to meet the Coming Year and have fun. Update the Christmas tree - add toys-symbols of the coming Year. Add something new to the festive decor of the room.
Step 3
Put on funny music and arrange a New Year's disco - let the whole year pass as fun as you met it. New Year's comic contests will also cheer up all those present.
Step 4
Gathering with friends to celebrate the Old New Year, you can discuss the details of celebrating the New Year on December 31, watch holiday photos and videos, remember especially funny moments and laugh at them again.
Step 5
Try to arrange a joke contest in a circle: each participant tells a joke. Those who could not remember are eliminated from the game. Let the winner get some kind of prize. Fans of ditties can similarly arrange a ditty competition.
Step 6
Thematic party "Children's Matinee" - let all the guests come to the Old New Year in children's New Year's costumes - bunnies, snowflakes, bears. Let everyone tell nursery rhymes to Santa Claus, run away from the Evil Snowstorm, dance around the Christmas tree. Sometimes it is useful to plunge back into childhood, to feel like children. The evening will be simply unmatched. Do not forget to film this action - there will be something to laugh at the next time you meet.
Step 7
It's a good idea to watch everyone's favorite New Year movie together, in the dark, by the light of the Christmas tree and candles. While watching, you can drink something pleasant - champagne with chocolate or mulled wine.
Step 8
With a creative approach to organizing a party, celebrating the Old New Year can turn out to be even more interesting than the main holiday. Have a nice festive evening everyone.
