We meet at home, make dumplings, before when we were children, our parents came up with some kind of riddles for us and we guessed them, it was fun. While the children are small, but in the future I'm thinking of continuing the tradition.
Tatiana: | December 17th, 2019 | 2:59 pm
We have a tradition of printing the best photos over the past year and paste them into a family album, remembering the outgoing year
Anna: | December 16th, 2019 | 11:04 pm
Every year the whole family makes chocolate sausage, then we give some to relatives.
After the chiming clock, we go to watch the fireworks, we leave the windows open. Upon their return, children are waiting for gifts from DM.
Cooking salads for the movie Irony of Fate ...
Christmas songs also help create the right atmosphere.
I also love to wrap gifts for my relatives.
Vlad: | December 16th, 2019 | 9:52 am
For the New Year, I give everyone new pajamas, nightgowns. At some point, the festive dinner turns into a pajama party
Lily: | December 14th, 2019 | 12:40 pm
We also decorate the Christmas tree and the house together, made wreaths, bake gingerbread cookies. This year we are moving right before the new year to a new apartment, I hope that we will have time to prepare everything. On New Year's Eve we meet either with friends or with parents and all holidays are for guests. This year they will come to us. There is a special tradition for children - from January 1, every day they look under the tree for a little surprise from the cause of frost, this year the main gifts will be on the morning of January 1 (traditionally, this is a Lego set and a Book for everyone), sweets in the New Year's Sock. Adults in our country receive gifts from adults, and children receive gifts from the cause of frost. Be sure to walk in the forest during the holidays, ride cheesecakes, ice skates and meet with family and friends.
Next year I want to make Advent calendars and a gingerbread house for children, maybe my hands will reach a homemade fireplace
Tanya: | December 14th, 2019 | 12:39 pm
Before the New Year, we gather with friends and bake gingerbread, everyone takes a piece home and decorates as desired. Such a tradition appeared when the son was small, it was necessary to give some small gifts to all grandparents, and we decided to bake cookies in the shape of New Year's creatures and decorate with icing. Each set was packed in specially purchased bags and decorated with ribbons, papers with wishes (mini postcards). Plus, the child drew postcards.
They also gathered to make toys from felt and improvised materials with their own hands, made animals, angels, Christmas wreaths ...
My mother always gives us a new toy for the Christmas tree, she still has such a tradition, plus we go with the family and buy what is missing - new garlands, beautiful New Year's candles, new toys, masks and funny hats.
We always buy a live pine tree, and we start guarding the New Year's market with Christmas trees in advance, although everyone is not on the way from work, we make a detour and check whether the Christmas trees have already been brought for sale or not. We are trying to buy a pine tree right away)))) but usually they ask to come the next day, they say, let’s at least unload them and arrange them) so we are always among the first, dragging home our “spruce-pine tree” under the envious glances of passers-by
We decorate everything together, this is also a tradition. Sweet symbols of the year have already been bought and are waiting in the wings, which can be hung on a Christmas tree. It's true that they rarely live until the 31st)
We don’t cook much, but we always decorate in a winter way, beautifully ... And we try not to repeat ourselves. We also decorate the table with beads, candles.
The aroma lamp has been working for us all December, the house smells of oranges and cinnamon, the son will cut out snowflakes and this weekend we will decorate the apartment.
And, of course, always as the first snow falls, we go to play snowballs and sledding, regardless of age. But this year we are not promised snow soon, so we will come up with other traditions.
Wishlists used to be written on next year, then it is interesting to see what they have done ... For some reason, they stopped doing this, it is necessary to revive the tradition.
Gifts are handed out at midnight. But in the morning, the son also finds a gift from Santa Claus)
Svetlana: | December 14th, 2018 | 3:58 pm
Every year on December 31st
1. We write letters to Santa Claus with children,
2. We make dumplings (since 2017, now we take care of them in advance)
4. Last year we went to the skating rink
3. After 12.00 at night we go for a walk to mercy and launch lanterns with wishes.
4. After a walk on returning home, the children find gifts under the tree.
This year, on the 31st, from morning until lunch, we plan to make a snowman in the yard with the whole family. Or we will go to the pine forest for a walk in the mysterious silence of the forest
Natalia: | December 14th, 2018 | 12:05 pm
A very interesting article, for several years I have been wanting to introduce a tradition of buying an expensive Christmas tree toy, but I can’t make up my mind, all the same it will be glass, and there are still small children. I also liked the tradition of writing wishes for the next year, and then watching whether it came true or not.
We also have standard traditions of decorating the Christmas tree, on 30 we go to the village and on 31 we go to the bathhouse.
I didn’t see such a tradition in anyone, which came from my family, be sure to meet New Year in new underwear.
Inna: | December 14th, 2018 | 11:58 am
The game “Secret Santa Claus” has taken root in our family, for my day.r. at the end of November, a lottery is drawn, who congratulates whom. A chat is created in which each participant writes a letter to DM, the age of the participants is 5-74 g, the letter is a child with the help of adults, but also speaks on the video (this is how a collection of letters is created) Everyone walks mysterious, smiles, decorate gifts with love and humor. Arriving at KV, we put gifts under the Christmas tree. At midnight, we all leave the room, go in one at a time, look for our name on the box. The action begins .... one by one we open the gift, everyone else applauds, the one who opens, stares at the faces and tries to guess who his DM is, so everyone opens and makes a guess. Then the second round, the DM confesses to whom he gives a gift and we check who has the same, it will be a good year!
Julia: | December 14th, 2018 | 11:41 am
And to us every night after St. Nikolay elves arrive. They put the letter and gifts in a special mailbox. Children are really looking forward to this Advent, and since October I have started buying small gifts from the elves))

We've been doing it for 4 years Advent calendars. Be sure to decorate the Christmas tree together. Gifts for everyone under the tree.
Xenia: | December 14th, 2018 | 8:37 am
Traditions from my childhood:
-decorate a Christmas tree
- gifts under the tree “appear” after 12))) while everyone is running fireworks to launch
- cut out snowflakes and decorate windows with them
- I draw a "newspaper" either with the symbol of the year, or with wishes, or with photographs of significant events of the outgoing year
- in December, be sure to go to the theater both by yourself and with your son
Of the ones I entered:
- advent calendar with sweets for the whole december
- I bake gingerbread and hang it with my son on the Christmas tree, then we take one at a time and eat it)))
Xenia: | December 25th, 2017 | 4:51 pm
Our traditions: we buy big beautiful toy or with the symbol of the year; to the sound of the chimes, we write a wish on a piece of paper, burn it, throw it into a glass of champagne and drink it to the bottom. And also my personal tradition every New Year to watch “ Real love” :) I really liked the tradition of giving a gift to the house
Elena: | December 18th, 2017 | 2:59 pm
We decorate the Christmas tree and dress the house together with our son, this year we made a red dog out of polymer clay, olive oil on the table is a must, and tangerines, a letter to Santa Claus, gifts under the Christmas tree.
Elena: | December 18th, 2017 | 3:22 dp
Dasha, thank you for the ideas. We are a young family, this year we will meet NG at home for the first time, we will start, as a tradition of writing a letter, eclairs with wishes, every new year, with a new beautiful Christmas tree toy, and then we will give it to a child.
Galina: | December 17th, 2017 | 11:12 pm
We had a tradition in our family - as they dressed up the Christmas tree, on the same night Santa Claus leaves gifts under the Christmas tree. The eldest believed until the age of 10, and the youngest at the age of 6 lay in wait for Santa Claus - he was very interested in how he got into the house. And mom was caught at the scene of the crime at 3:00 in the morning. But, my daughter is 40 years old, my son is 35, and they are still looking for gifts under the tree ...
Alexandra: | December 17th, 2017 | 10:27 pm
We celebrate the New Year at the dacha with a family of about 15-20 people with children.
In the yard there is already an elegant Christmas tree alive, over the past summer it has grown very well and has pubescent, just a super spruce!
Everyone brings dishes to the dacha at their discretion, having discussed in advance
Olga: | December 17th, 2017 | 6:19 pm
We decorate the Christmas tree on December 30 and. k. We have small children, and by the evening the tree is almost empty. Every New Year with my parents at our house.
Julia: | December 17th, 2017 | 6:12 pm
Be sure to decorate the Christmas tree with the children. We buy live pine every year. We cut out snowflakes with children and decorate windows. Bought a third ball this year self made for the youngest son. Now they each have their own. I try to replenish my collection of Christmas decorations every year.
For the New Year's table I try to cook something new. We try to have dinner at 8-9 o'clock, and at midnight we have champagne and delicious tartlets.
Zoya: | December 17th, 2017 | 2:25 pm
We celebrate the New Year at home with the whole family. There is a decorated Christmas tree in the yard and the house itself is also decorated. Gifts for adults are under the tree, but you can’t look at them until 24.00. For kids, Santa Claus brings gifts under the Christmas tree on the street and leaves them in a bag. They see all this through the window, then they run for gifts. We are writing a letter to Santa Claus before NG. Mandatory photo shoot for every New Year
Margarita: | December 16th, 2017 | 9:45 pm
Every year we always get into the car at 9-10 pm and drive around all the big Christmas trees in the city, the children ride the slides, and by 12 o'clock we return home. The table is set in advance and after such a walk the mood is the most New Year's. We buy every year new toy on the tree And of course gifts are waiting for everyone under the tree.
Anastasia: | December 16th, 2017 | 9:09 pm
Daria, thank you very much for the marathon! Thanks to him, the New Year mood appears already in early December. So many cool ideas!
1. We always decorate the Christmas tree with the whole family.
2. On New Year's Eve, we hide gifts for the whole family under the Christmas tree.
3. Cooking goose, Russian salad, cheese salad.
4. At the table we read New Year's predictions.
5. In the first days of January, we go to the cartoon with our family, often it was the Three Bogatyrs.
6. Thanks to Dasha, they started a new tradition: baking gingerbread and making homemade sweets and chocolate sausage.
Elena: | December 16th, 2017 | 4:40 pm
Every year we decorated the pine tree with real sweets and tangerines) And this year, on your advice, we started writing letters to Santa Claus) Since my little girl is only 9 months old, we dipped her palms in finger paints and left prints on the letter to Santa Claus) So that everyone wrote the letter!
Tatiana: | December 16th, 2017 | 3:48 pm

6. new tradition- I draw a board game on the New Year theme) We will play)
Olga: | December 16th, 2017 | 12:22 pm
Our family is young, the child is small, so the traditions are also young:
- we always decorate the Christmas tree all together
- for the coming year we give relatives calendars with common photos
- on New Year's Eve, we write the most cherished wishes for the next year and hang them on the Christmas tree, and then put them in a box with Christmas decorations until next year. Almost everything comes true 😜
- We have slightly altered the tradition with a piggy bank. All year we put the change in the piggy bank, and at the end of the year we transfer the accumulated amount to a special account, where we save money for the construction of our house)))
Olga: | December 16th, 2017 | 11:02 am
Hello, thanks for the marathon! Creates a Christmas mood. And we make dumplings. We invite guests - all relatives. 10-12 people are recruited. We knead the dough, prepare minced meat and sit down to sculpt. Children run, scream, dress up in costumes. Turmoil, laughter, noise, and adults are sculpting. Children periodically connect to the modeling, this creates even more turmoil. Flour flies in all directions, laughter. Then we cook and eat everything!
Irina: | December 16th, 2017 | 10:35 am
I am very glad that I decided to participate in the marathon! Thank you very much!!! So many ideas, so many positives! Unfortunately, I don’t always have time to do all the tasks, but I try. Today we will cut snowflakes and decorate windows as a family. Christmas tree always decorate together, it's fun and very cool.
Ludmila: | December 28th, 2016 | 11:55 am
Thank you, Dasha, for the marathon! Everything is somehow done by itself. Everything is washed, cleaned, dressed up, bought. It remains only to prepare and celebrate the New Year. We have a tradition - always a live Christmas tree (only we sell pine trees, but it doesn’t matter). And be sure to have a lot of gifts under the Christmas tree with verses-wishes. We open them after 12. We open, we measure, we boast. Last year, they wrote down 12 wishes and hid them. On New Year's Eve we will open, we will read what has come true And again next year we will write down wishes.
Tatiana: | December 23rd, 2016 | 11:30 am
We, as in the famous film, go to the bathhouse on December 31. I cook Olivier and definitely a herring under a fur coat. We also fry barbecue, but it depends on the weather, when severe frosts or snowstorms have to cook meat in the oven. On December 31, we also definitely watch the Irony of Fate and, of course, we decorate the Christmas tree, although this year it will probably not always be real, it will probably be artificial. Well, that’s all, you need to choose something else from the article, traditions are great.
Ludmila: | December 23rd, 2016 | 7:33 dp
Daria, thank you very much for the marathon. I enjoy reading your suggestions and assignments. It creates a mood. I want to tell you about one tradition, maybe those who have small children will like it. My son was about three years old when we celebrated the New Year in a new apartment. We had a real big Christmas tree for the first time. Thanks to the grandmothers, the son already knew what sweets were and could eat everything he was given in one sitting. And here at work, both my husband and I have gifts for my son. Giving him a gift is scary. I came up with this game. When the Christmas tree was dressed up, I said that it was magical and sweets grew on it. In the morning, the son always ran to the Christmas tree and looked for candy. And they grew up (one or two). If the son did not want to sleep, then I explained that if he did not sleep, then the sweets would not grow. Somehow, when my son had already grown up, I decided that it was not necessary to hang sweets. But the son, supporting the game, asked why, they say, sweets do not grow on the Christmas tree? This was the last year they grew up. Maybe they will start growing again when grandchildren appear
Marina: | December 23rd, 2016 | 12:32 am
must-have gifts under the tree that appear at midnight. Loved the idea of a sweet treasure and a happy dumpling. I do this with a pie - a coin for wealth and a bean for happiness)))
Elena: | December 22nd, 2016 | 10:51 am
Thanks everyone for the new ideas. In our childhood, they put a pine tree (they don’t grow spruces there), and now the tradition has begun to put a pine tree instead of a spruce tree (and the aroma is stronger and the needles don’t crumble and pleasant memories of childhood. traditional goose, Olivier and, most importantly, home-made candies from cookies and waffles with some kind of truffles , with beetroot juice - strawberries and sausage made from cookies with nuts, condensed milk and sweet butter: my sons (already having their own children) were completely delighted, it was their childhood, and gifts for the grandchildren under the Christmas tree
Julia: | December 22nd, 2016 | 10:08 am
We order sushi for the new year so as not to cook at all) we buy a new toy every year, on the 1st we go to my mother, where Olivier is waiting for us (including lean). On the 2nd, we walk all day. And during the holidays, be sure to go up the hill and admire the beautiful Moscow. Well, meeting with friends.
Olga S: | December 29th, 2015 | 10:43 am
It has already become a tradition for me to participate in the flash mob “New Year without a stove”
Another family tradition from my childhood passed into mine new family- put gifts under the Christmas tree and unfold on the morning of January 1st.
This year, she started the tradition of making Advent for children, so far only for her son, because. daughter is still young. I write him letters with tasks from Santa Claus. And so that he would be interested in the letter, I replace some words with pictures and then I read the text, and he pronounces the words encrypted by the picture.
Gulmira: | December 29th, 2015 | 6:14 dp

We haven’t developed any traditions yet)) As a child, we always decorated the Christmas tree all together, we always hung sweets, found gifts under the Christmas tree)) And always at home, as I remember.

Decorate a Christmas tree (and always with sweets too), celebrate at home, write a letter to Santa Claus, New Year's dishes, family viewing of New Year's films, a family photo, make a collection of Christmas decorations, cut snowflakes for neighbors, make a box for good deeds and joyful events - I really liked these ideas! Thanks everyone!

2. For 2 new years we have been playing predictions. Printed cards with predictions: real and comic. Everyone pulls out several cards in a circle. It turned out to be a very entertaining and funny activity :-) And a year later we check what came true.
3. We make wishes, write them down and seal them in an envelope. We'll see in a year.
4. I make native calendars for the next year with a photo of the past year.
5. On January 2 or 3, we go to the premiere of the cartoon with the whole family.

I really want a family photo shoot every year in the snow, but we don’t have snow on NG :-(
Julia: | December 26th, 2014 | 11:29 am

I want this year: a photo by the Christmas tree, a photo session in outfits, a theater
Everything was bought for the photo session, for the theater (shadow) I found a script, only one hero and decorations were left to cut and make a screen.
Oksana: | December 26th, 2014 | 11:12 am

With the coming!!!
Marina: | December 26th, 2014 | 11:11 am
On January 1, we open a piggy bank, where we put 10 ruble coins all year long and use them to buy a home gift. For several years now, I have been preparing for the holiday with a marathon. For the first time I decorate the house on a large scale, today, for example, I painted the windows. The menu is also traditional and we always celebrate the holiday with the family at home.
Elena: | December 26th, 2014 | 7:16 dp
We do every year paper snowflakes at the windows all together (although dad prefers to watch from the side, but sits with us). And we update the outfit of the Christmas tree with homemade toys. And we meet as it will turn out - it is not always possible to bring everyone together on New Year's Eve.

Olga: | December 29th, 2012 | 10:39 am
We decorated the Christmas tree, now we’ll just decorate the house, we’re doing a snowflake contest, now it’s more difficult, the older the parents, the harder it is for them to become children. we open the door for the New Year under the chimes, and then who will be the first to find their gift under the tree. New will be games with children, since children have just appeared.
Olga.I: | December 27th, 2012 | 6:28 pm
This year they tried to introduce a tradition - to glue gingerbread houses with children. It went off with a bang!!! We do not live in Russia and gifts have to be given when all the children here receive them. New Year, of course, we also celebrate! So, the day before, before the arrival of Santa Claus, we had a small family dinner, and for dessert - decorating gingerbread houses!!! Imagine - the whole family, without exception, took part! I didn't expect it to be so exciting and fun and delicious! All preparatory work I kept it to a minimum - blanks of houses and white marzipan were smoked at IKEA. The day before X hour, a dress rehearsal was held with one of the daughters)))) - I glued the walls and roofs, and she dyed the marzipan red and green colors. We made white chocolate as “cement” for gingerbread - the easiest option. A piece of chocolate is placed in the bag, then all this is in the microwave for 30-45 seconds, then a tiny corner is cut off from the bag - and you can glue it !!! Fast and delicious!!!
Olga: | December 27th, 2012 | 9:09 am
Every year in our family
1) we buy a new toy, the one that the daughter chooses,
2) the whole family decorate the Christmas tree and decorate the house,
3) we write a letter to Santa Claus and send it by paper plane from the bridge of lovers
4) We make dumplings, we wrap cabbage or potatoes in one instead of meat, this dumpling is happy, and the one who gets it too !!!
5) Send postcards to family and friends
6) we organize a walk with a slide, and ice skating
7) We watch the congratulations of the president, open champagne, watch the fireworks in the yard
8) After that, we return home, and there gifts are already waiting under the tree.
9) and also our dad hangs gullivers on the Christmas tree, in which banknotes of different denominations are previously hidden, whoever cuts which one will get 100, 500 or 1000 (the most important prize) rubles.
Our parents did a lot, and we continue their good traditions, some we brought ourselves.
Answer: Thank you! I especially liked the gullivers :)
Anna: | December 27th, 2012 | 8:31 am
Together we decorate the Christmas tree and decorate the house. Under the Christmas tree on the night of January 1, everyone finds gifts. New Year's table and splashes of champagne under the chiming clock - this goes without saying. Fireworks on the street. I want to add notes with desires.
Catherine: | December 27th, 2012 | 7:20 am
Our family is still new - only 2 new years we meet together. There were no special traditions in my family, and neither did my husband. And I really want to have something like my family, I think it's time to start. Here they dressed the Christmas tree together and decorated the apartment.
My girlfriend has a tradition, early in the morning on December 31, they gather with their whole family with friends in the forest near a living Christmas tree, decorate it and celebrate the new year, see off the old one.
Maria: | December 27th, 2012 | 6:30 am
And for now, we are only decorating the Christmas tree, but always alive, so that there is a smell of the New Year.
I also want to make an album where every year I will make handprints of my daughters (the oldest is 2.9 years old, the youngest is 3 months old). It will be interesting to see how they grow in a year.
nothing new came to mind.

How is New Year celebrated in my family.
(composition)
New Year is a long-awaited holiday for me and for my family.
Already in early December, the New Year atmosphere reigns around: people choose fluffy Christmas trees, buy Christmas decorations preparing gifts for loved ones. Our family is no exception.
We are preparing for the New Year in advance. We clean the house, decorate the room with garlands, decorate the windows with patterns. Our tree stands in the room like a princess: tall and fluffy. Dad and I bought this tree recently, we chose it for a long time and chose such that now everyone who comes to us admires it. We bought a Christmas tree with dad, but we usually decorate it only with mom. This year, my mother bought new Christmas decorations - painted balls. Very unusual and interesting. I like it. In addition to toys, we decorate the Christmas tree with small red bows. And on the top of the tree, I myself attach a brilliant star. Here we have the most beautiful Christmas tree.
We celebrate every New Year with our families. Grandma and grandpa come to visit us. We set a big table. Mom and grandmother always prepare something unusual, non-everyday for the festive table. This year we had stewed goose, New Year's and Goat salads. The jellied meat that my mother cooked the day before turned out to be very tasty. For me, the New Year is not a holiday if there is no Olivier and herring under a fur coat. Therefore, these salads also adorned our family New Year's table. And the smell of tangerines complemented the festive aroma.
Five minutes before the chiming clock, we all carefully listen to the congratulations of the President of our country - V.V. Putin. I treat him with great respect. I sympathize with the fact that the president goes in for sports, leads healthy lifestyle life, knows several languages. And I also like listening to it. Yes, just listen. Listen to his speech, literate speech. I think that our president is a worthy president. Before the New Year 2015 V.V. Putin noted that we all "rejoice at the wonderful tradition of celebrating the New Year in the family circle" and "the year will be the way we make it ourselves." I will also remember his words about love for the Motherland: “Prosperity of our Motherland is formed from the happiness and success of each person”, “Love for the Motherland is one of the most powerful, uplifting feelings.” When you hear such words, you are filled with pride for your country, for Russia. These are the most exciting moments before the New Year.
And now the chimes are already striking ... We congratulate each other on the New Year, make a wish. Each of us enters the new year with the hope that all wishes will come true, that the new year will bring us a lot of joy, kindness, that all relatives and relatives will be healthy and happy.
When I was little, I always believed in Santa Claus. After the last blow of the chimes, he looked for gifts under the tree and always found them. I really liked it! Now I want to believe that on such a magical, long-awaited holiday of Santa Claus, it simply cannot be. He is. He always comes to our house, settles down near the Christmas tree and performs miracles. A miracle happened this time too. I got new phone that I dreamed of. My wish came true!
I live in a small village called Afrikanda. IN holidays we have a lot of fun. The center of the festivities is the village House of Culture. On New Year's Eve, near the Christmas tree, which is installed in front of the House of Culture, you can meet all your friends. Families come to mass celebrations and fireworks. Only on New Year's Eve you can see so many people! Everyone congratulates each other on the New Year, lights are on everywhere, multi-colored garlands are flashing in the windows of houses. Especially spectacular this year was the New Year's fireworks. My friends and I filmed the fireworks. It turned out very colorful. There will be something to remember.
We return home happy, satisfied and a little tired. We sit down again festive table and drink fragrant tea with a cake to the incendiary music on TV.
The morning of the first of January will soon come. The thirty-first of December will already be our past. It gets a little sad. Until next new year whole year! But I calm myself down and go to bed with the hope that we will also meet the next New Year together, in the family circle.

New Year is one of my favorite and brightest holidays. My family always celebrates it in a big way. In early December, my dad and I buy a Christmas tree. We choose the tallest and fluffiest spruce. We put it at home. The house is filled with the smell of pine needles. Then we get Christmas decorations. I decorate the tree myself. First I hang Christmas decorations, then a garland and, finally, a star on top. Sometimes my mother and I make Christmas decorations with our own hands. We color them ourselves. And we also hang them on our Christmas tree. Under the Christmas tree I put Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden. Spruce is a harbinger of an imminent holiday. Every evening I turn on the garland and we look at the funny lights.
On December 31, my mother and I set the table. We prepare everyone's favorite dishes: for dad - herring under a fur coat, for mom - Olivier salad, and for me - rolls. There must be tangerines and pineapple on the table. Mom also prepares a new one every new year. specialty of the house. This year it was a goose with apples. We put candles on the table. We put small gifts under the Christmas tree. Everyone will get something interesting. Also, what a holiday without guests. Our friends, grandparents come to us and we all celebrate the New Year together. Be sure to listen to congratulations from our president and make wishes to the chiming clock. I hope mine comes true. In my childhood, when all my relatives gathered, including grandparents, my aunt with her family and my own uncle with his family, we children were asked to read a poem, sing a song, play the piano or dance. Now that we have grown up, this is no longer the case.
After the chimes strike 12 o'clock, we run outside and set off fireworks. On the streets, people congratulate each other on the New Year and wish each other health, happiness, and success. Everyone laughs, rejoices, smiles on their faces. The New Year brings joy and happiness to everyone. This is an unforgettable holiday, the most joyful and expected. For some reason, all people expect a miracle to come in the new year, they expect their deepest desires to come true, and some kind of miracle will come. The expectation of a miracle is the main distinguishing feature of the New Year.
Until the morning we watch TV, New Year's programs, songs, films. We arrange quizzes, read horoscopes, joke and laugh. And then we go to bed. And we begin to wait for the next New Year, a new miracle, new desires, aspirations, gifts, a festive evening.

New Year in my family always takes place in a family atmosphere. My mom and dad set a huge table for the holiday, on which there is always a favorite dish called Olivier.
On New Year's Eve, we decorate the Christmas tree with the whole family. I make homemade toys out of paper, and mom and dad get out vintage toys. Very very beautiful and shimmer with bright sparks. Grandparents come to visit us and bring gifts to the whole family. I am with mine younger brother I am always happy when someone gives us something. And Santa Claus comes to us with the Snow Maiden, who asks us to tell a rhyme. Santa Claus praises me and my brother and then takes out a gift from the bag: it's either candy or some kind of toy. We are very happy with the gifts, and especially my brother. Santa Claus looks like a fabulous alpha, and the Snow Maiden looks like an enchanted fairy, who was bewitched by an evil wizard. The Snow Maiden always looks sadly somewhere to the side, and we sing a song to her and see a round dance around the Christmas tree. After that, the Snow Maiden noticeably cheers up. My brother loves the deeds of frost, but I like snow maidens. She looks like a Barbie doll and is very thin. For this New Year, we gave her a homemade card and beads. She was very happy and accepted the gift.
After midnight, the whole family goes to the Christmas tree on New Year's Eve. Around the Christmas tree is always noisy and fun. Even we feel the spirit of vivacity, which knocks out all drowsiness. After Christmas tree we are missing the fireworks in the yard together with the neighbors. Adults congratulate each other on the New Year, and my brother and I play snowballs and make a snowman. This New Year's Eve we made a big snowman. And the buttons were taken as the basis for the eyes. From the outside, it always seems to us that the snowman winks and smiles at us. We give mom and dad beautiful homemade cards that we decorate with rhinestones and beads. Parents always cry with emotion when we give them cards.
Our feast is held under a blue light. Every time we see famous artists on the screen, and parents always sing board songs, and we sing along with them. In our family, the New Year is always fun, because our family is friendly and honors family traditions and values. They love us very much and make a good New Year, and we look forward to it every year.

Cleaning the house will take a lot of time, first you need to vacuum all the rooms, brother and sister will wipe the saw. Well, I just have to clean everywhere.

Finally, we have placed all the dishes on the table, all the dishes on the table are arranged very nicely.

For 3, 4, 5 classes
New Year is my favorite holiday. I always look forward to it - I even count the days. Since November. And it’s so good that Christmas trees are already being set up around, decorating everything.
Everyone in our family also loves this holiday. Mom always starts a general cleaning on New Year's Eve. It lasts almost a week. Mom says that you need to enter the new year without unnecessary things, garbage, clean and tidy. I also clean my room. But I like it more when, after cleaning, we hang garlands, put up our beautiful silver Christmas tree. We have so many toys! I like to hang them differently every year.
Dad brings a lot of goodies. For example, sweets, soda, sausage. Mom cooks meat with cheese or stuffed chicken ... I often help her. I also love to make gifts with my own hands. We are also taught to make crafts at school, and you can also look at the "recipe" on the Internet.
We take the holidays seriously. Even sometimes too much. That is, something suddenly does not work out as you want, and the parents begin to get drunk. This is what I don't like! I then tell them that the most important thing is the New Year, and not some little things about its preparation. And they say I'm so smart, well done.
Before the New Year - in the evening we usually go with dad to the Christmas tree in the center. We have such a tradition. After we rest at home, we even go to bed. But I can't sleep, of course. I'm dreaming! And then we follow old year at eleven o'clock. We eat delicious salads with mayonnaise, herring under a fur coat. And then the chimes strike, everyone makes wishes. Clink of glasses! My parents drink their tasteless champagne and I drink their sugary soda. And I'm going to sleep so that the morning will be faster. And gifts in the morning! And almost immediately tea with sandwiches and cake and sweets! During the day we also walk. Everything is so beautiful around!

You can make a plan for the whole family to be responsible for it to each other.
Celebrate the New Year in a different time zone. If there are small children in the family, it will be difficult for them not to fall asleep before midnight.

- Do not forget about those who are a little bored of spending New Year's Eve with their families.

You can ask them about the pleasant moments of the outgoing year and expectations for the next 12 months. This conversation will help you get closer.
- Some prefer to watch the time on the TV with the sound turned off so that everyone can see the hands on the clock. You can also use the radio.
- You don't have to stay awake until midnight. Surely some family members will not want to party all night! If you are tired and want to go to bed earlier, then this is completely normal. In the morning there will be the same New Year, the meeting of which can be slightly shifted.
- You can go outside and set off fireworks if it's allowed in your locality. Remember that fireworks can only be set off by adults, and even they should not forget about safety!

It will be much easier and more fun for you if you consider this as another great way to celebrate the New Year. Think about what you managed to avoid - a long taxi wait, drunken quarrels, crazy crowds of people who strive to hug everyone in honor of the New Year!
- Drink alcohol in moderation.
- Be mindful of your neighbors when you turn on the music. Even on New Year's Eve, people have small children and sick relatives.
