Beautiful tinsel, cheerful lights, pre-holiday bustle - many of us enjoy them. But what if none of this pleases you? What if there is no anticipation of the holiday and the New Year itself is not a joy?
Here are some tips that might help.
1. If you find it a burden to arrange a holiday for yourself, then make it for others! Become a member as an organizer. It's great if you have children - they are the most grateful admirers of any magic. Create a fairy tale for them with your own hands - their glowing eyes, delight and joy are much better companions of your mood than a dull observation of someone else's vanity. Just remember that it's not just kids who love magic.
2. There is no better way to feel like you belong to the holiday than gifts. Moreover, giving gifts in most cases is even more pleasant than receiving. Approach this question with all the warmth you have. You should not go shopping with a mechanical duty - the New Year mood will not find you like that. Think carefully about what gift you would like to give to each loved one and not only person. Let it be something very small and inexpensive: a postcard with some special words or a talisman. The main thing is that you yourself would be pleased to present this gift.
3. If you do not want to invest in the New Year in any way, so be it. Don't decorate, don't cook, don't organize. Just buy tickets to celebrate New Year's Eve in some cultural center, or theater, or restaurant. Or join any company that is ready to do everything for you. It doesn't even matter whether they are people close to you or completely random acquaintances - in any case, you are guaranteed a fun or cozy festive communication.
4. Well, in the end, it is not spelled out in any laws that you must be inspired by the holiday on New Year's Eve and on the eve of it. You can simply observe the pre-holiday bustle and New Year's mood of others. The very contemplation of happy people can make you yourself a little bit happier.
