Some people are happy when they simply see a Christmas tree and smell it, while others are happy to think that they don’t have to go to work for 10 whole days, or at least a week - New Year holidays Ours have now become quite long. Whether it’s good or bad, everyone also has their own opinion on this question, but today we’re not talking about that.

What's the New Year without the appropriate mood? We invite you to talk about how you can create a New Year’s mood, how to make sure that on this wonderful fabulous holiday feel real winter happiness.



For most people, the New Year’s mood is associated precisely with the anticipation of the holiday - it’s still wonderful that many of us, back in Soviet times, were accustomed to expecting fairy tales and miracles from the New Year. Someone associated this with children's matinees, decorations at school and kindergarten, with a New Year tree, which everyone decorated together, and of course, with tangerines and oranges - in those days we only had them on holidays.

But the most important thing is when you look forward to a miracle and believe that something magical will definitely happen. Having become adults, we retained this feeling in our subconscious, and we still feel joyful excitement when we see Christmas trees being sold on the streets, buildings decorated with garlands; people buy gifts, toys and other New Year's attributes; when we sign New Year cards and we tell ourselves that in the New Year we will definitely become better and happier.

New Year's depression

However, in our time, not all people are in the New Year's mood, and this is especially problematic for those who have worked all year, built a career and strived up the career ladder - such people often experience real depression on New Year's Eve. Those who were not eager to go anywhere, but simply carried out their routine work throughout the past year, also feel sad and not in the mood for the New Year - they often don’t want to celebrate at all, but look happy people can cause them irritation and even anger: how can they laugh when there are so many problems and misfortunes around?

It has been noticed that housewives who have children have the least problems with the New Year's mood: they are not bored - they are busy all the time. They buy gifts and Christmas decorations, create Christmas costumes for children and outfits for themselves, exchange recipes for holiday foods with other mothers - in general, they prepare for the holiday in full.

But what should those who cannot escape from their work and work problems do, and transfer them to their relationships with their family? It’s probably worth remembering that problems, if we take them too seriously, tend to “drag” others, even more serious ones, so there is a risk of making the “black streak” even darker - do we really need this?


Don't give in bad mood and darken the New Year's holiday for yourself and others: difficulties are always temporary - if you find something to do and take responsibility for preparing the New Year, they begin to resolve themselves, and the mood becomes New Year's.


There are many recommendations on how to create a New Year's mood. For example, you can start with decoration home interior, but before that it’s a good idea to take part in decorating the office, or other place where you work: nothing helps team unity like collaboration, requiring the manifestation of creative abilities.

Fruit replicas can paint any interior, but you can also take real fruits and even decorate them by spraying them with gold or silver spray paint. To do this, you need to take fruits whose peel is not eaten: these are bananas, pomegranates, tangerines, etc. - they can be hung on a Christmas tree, placed in vases, etc.

Uplifting others

However, raising the New Year's mood, as well as starting to prepare for the holiday, can be different: it has been proven that when you try to lift the spirits of others, you don’t notice how you yourself become joyful and happy - a simple but effective method. Today it is customary to send virtual cards- you can do this too, but no one has yet canceled real New Year's cards, bright and glossy, with the smell of printing inks - when we pick up such a card, we feel that we are holding a piece of the holiday.

Imagine how you will feel if you write at least 10 congratulations - sincerely and from the heart! – to your friends, relatives and acquaintances?

We decorate the New Year tree and give gifts

A new outfit will help lift your spirits

Focus on yourself

Well, what should you do if you are very tired, and you just can’t accomplish your plans, the New Year’s mood is “at zero”, and for some reason your family doesn’t help you?

In the evening, they wearily sit down at the table, drink champagne and eat their fill - there is no energy left for fun and dancing. So is this behavior worth praise?


It turns out that we forget about ourselves, and then we get offended by our loved ones, and we think: how tired of all this - and who came up with this New Year? However, no one forces you to “pull” everything pre-holiday chores: Why bother yourself just because “it’s supposed to be that way”? Take a break right before the holiday - you can even go for a couple of days to visit a friend you haven’t seen for a long time, or just go shopping - for fun, and not to frantically buy discounted products and souvenirs.

To make your mood truly New Year’s and festive, you don’t have to put everything on your fragile shoulders. Entrust the decoration of your home to your family - let them do it in their own way, and everything will turn out as it should - you just have to try. And you can refuse to prepare snacks and luxurious dishes, but at the same time treat yourself to a wonderful and fun party– there is a simple recipe for this.

Buy a few good alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, quality cheese and fruit, and let your guests bring the rest of the dishes: they will do it with pleasure if you promise them a competition for the best New Year's food - any housewife will be happy to show others her talents and receive a small but pleasant prize.

May the New Year's mood always be with you, and then the whole coming year will be successful, prosperous and happy for you!
