With winter approaching, Russians are beginning to worry about a quite reasonable question: how do we rest on New Year 2017? This time the location of the dates is quite convenient, so there will be more than enough time to celebrate the New Year, rest and entertainment.
Instructions
Step 1
Residents of the Russian Federation will have nine days off for the New Year 2017. The January holidays will begin on December 31, which falls on Saturday this year. This is quite convenient, given that there is still debate about whether to make the last day of December an official holiday or not. It is very difficult to work on such a date, and most employers most often let their subordinates go on vacation as early as December 30th. And it takes time to prepare for the holidays. One way or another, while the question remains open, the Russians will definitely spend the last Saturday of the coming December at home.
Step 2
January 1 New 2017 - Sunday. With this holiday, everything is pretty clear. People will traditionally celebrate the New Year in a family or friendly circle, and some will sleep off and just relax after a stormy New Year's Eve from 31st to 1st. It is worth noting that 2017 according to the Eastern calendar is the year of the Red Fire Rooster, so bright red shades should be present in festive outfits and decorations. Astrologers predict that the coming year can be difficult in all plans, so it is important to meet it joyfully, with a positive attitude and faith in the best.
Step 3
Weekends and January holidays for New Year 2017 will continue from January 2 to January 8. And again, disputes about the expediency of such a long New Year's vacation continue to persist. Russians of mature age still remember the times when they officially rested only on January 1 and 2. According to polls, most people have nothing to do after celebrating the holiday. In addition, the production and economy of the country are almost completely idle for a whole week, which affects them negatively. The government is discussing the possibility of postponing part of the New Year holidays to the first week of May in order to provide Russians with more comfortable conditions for recreation, but the question is still open.
Step 4
On January 7, Orthodox Russians will celebrate the great church holiday of the Nativity of Christ. This day is loved by almost all people, including those who have atheistic views. Who doesn't like to gather at the table with family, loved ones and loved ones, congratulate each other and exchange pleasant gifts? In addition, in recent years, Russian folk Christmas traditions have been actively reviving, for example, carols, which are very popular with children and young people. Thus, the next long-awaited weekend and January holidays will come very soon, and in order for them to become interesting and memorable, it is worth preparing for such an event in advance.
