"Sasha, this year, so as not to go crazy, I" closed "the New Year gifts in November ..." - so I answered a familiar owner of business gifts and souvenirs on his December message. And this is a real lifehak. So…
Presents
Perhaps the feeling of the New Year appeared in me in the fall due to filming for the New Year's Teleconcert, but the fact remains a fact - it was an excellent solution. There were already discounts, there was also a choice and did not break the supply, as happened last year, when I was concerned about the impressive Wish-leaf of the week for two or three to the grand holiday. The twentieth of November - the perfect time to order gifts and, if there is time and strength, is a hike shopping. If there are some important dates for December, and we have this birthday of the head of the family, then it is better to solve questions with the venue for the celebration in September-October - restaurateurs, making a third of the annual revenue from the middle of the month to New Year's Eve, say: "Just This is December. It needs to be survived. " The same condition arises from sellers of gifts. And if you take care of your own nervous system, so as not to scour in the search in the last days in kilometer traffic jams - here the taxi drivers are already attached to the restaurateurs and sellers: "December ..." - we do everything in advance.
Relatives
In the tradition of celebrating the New Year with relatives, I see only positive parties, but when complying with some rules. Communication should be joy. And therefore, all that precedes the traditional, again, the feast must be thoughtful, prepared and, if possible, briefly. We come to your children to the country house of my parents, and we live in different cities, - it is December 31. The meeting itself is already becoming a holiday. To dress the Christmas tree in front of the magical night - the kids take this task with pleasure.
Two mistresses in one kitchen? In no case! I, and now the elder daughters, simply simpat all your ambitions and completely obey the will of the main woman - my mother (and let it always be). To behave differently - a straight road to conflicts, spoiled mood. And we do not need it completely. New Year's Eve rushing quickly, so on disputes and clarify, who has a recipe or feeding more interesting, a lot of salt or not enough, and rightly need to clean the whole onion, just does not remain.

Lists
I make two lists in advance: those relatives and friends who buy gifts, and those gifts that they were bought for New Year's Eve to not forget anything in departures and later, because the most important thing is that we are all, especially children, we are waiting It is precisely after the battle of the chimes ...
Culmination
This is a favorite part of the celebration. It is worth a try, as we are 20 years ago, and it is already impossible to refuse. Intrigue develops throughout the day. While the children dressed up a Christmas tree, and I performed the functions of Su-Chef, each in the family, trying not to be noticed, hid gifts around the house prepared to relatives, choosing secluded places. And after the twelfth batting hours, we begin to look for them, whispering in each other, where it is cooked in order to go to search. I, naturally, keep my list on my hand all the time, in which it is noted, who, where ... "Hot-cold" we have accompanied by cotton, developing in ovations as the seeker seeking to the gift. And it goes with the transes of a good couple of hours: everyone falls 4-5 presents, and multiply eight ...
Secular new year
Several times we changed the traditions and met the new year not by the family scenario. Two such cases were remembered especially: the last evening of the year we spent twice accompanied by classical opera music. Yes, there is a certain charm in the New Year's trip, we decided with my husband once, and as a result, the new year was met in the foyer of the Helsinki Opera House after Carmen. The next time, Khabaneru and other famous arias listened to our expensive girlfriend, Opera Proma Lyubov Kazarnovskaya on New Year's Eve in Moscow. To go on December 31 to the theater - one of the best options for the secular new year, the universal feeling of the holiday creates a unique mood and perception of what is happening on the scene. Upon completion of the festival in theatrical walls, you can go to congratulate friends. Let it be a surprise for them - if friends are real, joy will only multiply!
