The traditions of celebrating the New Year exist in every family. Someone sits all night at the festive table in front of the TV, someone prefers to celebrate this holiday in warm countries, and someone goes to bed immediately after the chimes. Are there any specific rules for celebrating the New Year in the family circle?
Instructions
Step 1
Usually, preparations for your favorite family holiday begin with choosing and decorating a Christmas tree. This action can be organized in such a way that it becomes a kind of New Year's Eve entertainment. Try to involve all your family in this business, and let it be a signal for the beginning of the holiday. Decorate the tree with beautiful toys, tinsel, artificial snow. You can hang sweets, chocolates, tangerines on the Christmas tree. It is especially pleasant to decorate a live Christmas tree, as it gives the house a wonderful forest scent and creates a special atmosphere.
Step 2
About a few days before the holiday, come up with a menu for a festive dinner with your household. And let the whole family take part in the preparation of the dishes. You can entrust the children with festive salads. They are great for peeling and slicing pre-cooked vegetables. You can also entrust them with setting the table. At the festive table, be sure to mark the efforts of the kids: hold a competition for the best salad and reward the kids. Of course, in addition to salads, the New Year's table should be decorated with the most favorite dishes of your family.
Step 3
By tradition, it is customary to give gifts on New Years. You don't have to give everyone super expensive and special gifts. Just get creative when packing them, for example. Wrap your surprise in several layers of paper and put it under the tree, or hide it and arrange for a treasure hunt. Both adults and children will be happy to join this game. You can come up with various lotteries or give away several prizes.
Step 4
Before the New Year comes, you can ask all household members to write letters to themselves. Let them write about their plans for the next year, about their dreams, as well as wishes for themselves and their loved ones. Seal these letters in an envelope and read them next New Year.
