Plan your program

It is a good idea to include friends and relatives to take into account the interests of everyone. Think about what the outgoing year brought you new, what pleased you and what you taught.

A great way to spend the new year will be a walk in the park together: dress warmly, take champagne, sparklers and go through the creaking snow.

If you are planning a move in the new year, this is great occasion climb to the observation deck or the roof of a skyscraper and say goodbye to the city, raising a glass to new successful undertakings.

Entertain yourself and loved ones as best you can: buy an entertaining board game or a prefix, you can also think about small prizes for the winners. Games for desires do not lose their relevance. The main thing is to want festive mood and an inspired company will do their thing.

Well, if there is an ice rink or a slide near the house, then this great occasion go sledding and skating. Skating without tangerines, chocolate and wine will be incomplete, so we take all the goodies, as well as a festive mood, with us! Having plenty of fun on the skating rink, you can take a walk around the city at night.

Again, you can’t do without champagne or wine, but if your friend doesn’t drink alcohol, you can grab a cold cut of meat or cheese: such a treat, most likely, in addition to sincere wishes, he will like it.

Boring evening

Celebrating the New Year at home does not mean sitting alone in front of the TV. Take care of the company dear to your heart - invite friends with their families. They can bring their own treats, games and the craziest ideas of fun during their favorite holiday.

• Play in funny game"The Chimes". To do this, before the start of the celebration, secretly hand out pieces of paper to the guests, on which the task will be written, which must be completed at a particular moment. Imagine how much fun someone crowing during a toast or an unexpected dance on a stool will bring.
• A good game "On the contrary" will also be in the subject. To do this, let the host ask simple questions to the guests, and they answer incorrectly. For example, “What color is the snow? - "Green". You just need to answer without thinking, then the game becomes funnier.
• "Auction". To do this, pieces of paper are placed in the box, on which a letter from the alphabet is written. Leading with eyes closed takes a piece of paper out of the box, and the guests in turn must name a word that begins with this letter. These can be cities, vegetables, names, etc. When the words are exhausted, the presenter announces the auction: who will call the last word, he won, and for this he receives a gift.

Remember: the most important thing is not where we celebrate the New Year, but with whom.

In a series of holidays, the New Year in our country occupies a special place, it is the most beloved family celebration ! How to organize it so that it is not only sincere, but also original and fun? Here are a couple of ideas.

1. We arrange at home the New Year's "Christmas tree commotion"

The beautiful Christmas tree is an invariable attribute of the New Year holiday - without it, a Russian person cannot celebrate the New Year. And if you feel sorry for the natural Christmas tree? They chop her poor “under the very root” ... And you don’t want an artificial one. In this case, we propose to arrange a "Christmas tree commotion" in the house - many different "trees" instead of one. And do not break the tradition and the pleasure of unusual holiday receive! What "trees" do you mean?

edible christmas trees. We turn on the fantasy and decorate the festive table with all kinds of "Christmas trees". First, we make a salad “tree”: we form a crown from lettuce leaves, which we decorate with vegetables so that they look Christmas decorations(beads or "snowball" - from droplets of sauce or from cheese, a star - from bell pepper, etc.). We replenish the festive feast with a buffet menu in the form of " New Year's toys"(canapes, sandwiches, etc.), we decorate the table with stylish "Christmas tree" napkins.

Secondly, we make a "Christmas tree" from all sorts of goodies: fruits, sweets, chocolates. To do this, we buy a base in the form of a cone in flower shops and use skewers to attach all this “yummy” to it, interspersed with real Christmas tree decorations. Then, of course, a Christmas tree-shaped cake - cut out the cakes and decorate the cake (with berries, chocolate and cream) again like Christmas tree.

"Christmas decorations. We decorate with "Christmas trees" (from tinsel, colored stickers, beads, garlands and small toys) literally the whole house: walls, doors and windows. The “Christmas tree” on the wall can become the central one, under which we put toy Santa Claus, the Snow Maiden and prepared gifts.

Christmas tree entertainment. We continue the theme of Christmas trees in entertainment. For example, a beauty contest among couples, who is better (for limited time!) from ancillary material will decorate his "Christmas tree" (one depicts a Christmas tree, the other decorates it). Then, to Serduchka's song "Christmas trees are rushing around the city" - a general defile. The winner can be determined by "beauty" or by the number of items used to decorate.

new year at home, in a close company, it is also good that everyone can take part in all events and, without any hesitation, show all their talents. Why not arrange a parody contest for the singer Yolka or a wonderful musical - each to sing "A Christmas tree was born in the forest" to different motives and in a different manner: romance, rap, hard rock, etc.?!

With the participation of the "Yolka" there are many New Year's fairy tales, which you can easily play out on your own. You can also stage the song "A Christmas tree was born in the forest" or play a small funny New Year's scene , does not require prior preparation and rehearsals.

The holiday under the slogan "Christmas tree commotion" will turn out to be cheerful and sincere, and most importantly, in its credits it will be possible to safely write that "during the organization of the holiday, not one living tree didn't get hurt!"
