Many of us promise ourselves to start life from scratch in the new year. So why not keep that promise? It doesn't matter whether your diary will be paper or electronic. One thing is important: do not throw away the diary and regularly replenish it with entries.

And if you already have a personal diary, then try something: a photo diary, a voice diary, or.

2. Read a few books

We all say that we want and will read more, but our permanent excuse “I don’t have enough time to read” nullifies everything. On New Year's holidays, we finally have time, and long winter evenings are just created in order to climb into an armchair with a blanket and tea and immerse ourselves in reading.

Surely you have your own must read list, but if not, then take a look.

3. Gather a fun company and play snowballs

Of course, if you have children, then this fun and so you can not avoid. And if not, then this is not a reason to give up your favorite New Year's activity since childhood. Gather a group of friends and go to play snowballs.

It is not even necessary to plan this entertainment in advance, just throw a snowball at one of your friends, and then a chain reaction will follow, and in 5 minutes you and all your friends will participate in snow battles.

And if the fierce winter weather is raging outside the window, because of which you do not want to go out, then arrange for yourself a snowy entertainment at home - cook with your family.

4. Embark on a journey you've long dreamed of

Almost every person has or a dream country where he has long wanted to visit. Be yourself a Grandfather Frost and fulfill your dream - give yourself a trip.

The advice is relevant not only for those who have been saving money for vacation all year round, because today it is very easy for someone, and this, in turn, will help to significantly reduce travel costs.

5. Help those in need

One of the best ways to give yourself a holiday is to give someone else a party.

Yes, few of us are able to donate large sums. But collecting books and things that you no longer use, buy a bag of lollipops and go to the nearest orphanage - this is something that almost all of us can do. And if you are a volunteer or an active student who has a company of like-minded people, then you can arrange a New Year's concert or performance for the kids.

6. Spend the New Year holidays at the hostel

Everyone knows what to do at the camp site in the summer: swim, sunbathe, walk, pick mushrooms and berries - in a word, have an active rest. But not everyone knows that in winter, at the camp site, you can spend time as mobile and interesting: skiing, sledding, ice skating, steam bath and walking no less, if not more, than in summer.

7. Jog yourself in New Year's style every morning.

Let the feeling of the holiday be with you always. While jogging, creating a New Year's mood for yourself is very simple: run in a New Year's cap or a cool scarf with deer, download your favorite New Year's tracks to the player, or choose a route for yourself, thanks to which you can run at least a few trees, which are abundant on New Year's holidays in any city.

8. Be a tourist in your hometown

There are probably hundreds of places that you have not visited in your hometown: museums, galleries, and maybe even theaters and cinemas. Make a list of places like this and catch up on New Year's Eve.

9. Treat yourself and loved ones with New Year's treats

Yes, after the New Year's feast it seems to all of us that we will not be able to eat anything for at least a week - we feel so full. But, as practice shows, already on January 3-4, we again want something tasty. Do not deny yourself this pleasure, so experiment and cook, for example.

10. Throw a New Years Eve Party

The first weekend of the new year (January 3-4) is a great time to party. And we have prepared for you that will help make your party the coolest and most memorable. :)

11. Take pictures

12. Arrange a general cleaning and get rid of unnecessary things

New Year is a new life, and into a new life it is not worth dragging old rubbish, which many of us like to accumulate, even without wanting to. Arrange a general cleaning at home, throw it away and do not try to regret: you make room for new things that you will definitely acquire in the coming year.

13. Dedicate this time to your favorite hobby.

Someone loves to cook, someone - to embroider, someone - to code, and someone disappears in the garage for days on end, improving their favorite car. New Year's holidays are a wonderful time that you can spend exclusively on your favorite activities, so do not deny yourself this.

14. Delight yourself and your friends with delicious cocktails

Since you can relax a little on New Year's holidays, this is a great reason to please yourself and your friends with good, say, rum with apple juice and caramel or Martini Royal.

15. Stay Santa Claus in your home

Put postcards with wishes or small pleasant New Year's gifts - magnets, key chains, and so on in the boxes of your neighbors. If you wish, you can even put a Christmas tree in the entrance or in some other way give it a festive look. It will be fun and will give positive emotions to both you and all your neighbors.

16. Make yourself a to-do list for the year and start doing it

We all love to make lists, but very often these lists remain only in our head and on paper. Make a to-do list for the year so that you can start one of the tasks today or tomorrow. This way you will not only ensure yourself a fun vacation, but also learn to be more organized.

17. Go for a picnic

18. Visit relatives

If for some reason you did not manage to celebrate the New Year with your family, then do not despair: you have a whole New Year's holidays to visit your loved ones.

19. Visit New Year's fairs

Such fairs are held in many cities, and this is a wonderful event that gives everyone a New Year's mood, vivid emotions and completely new impressions. Find information about the fairs in your city and be sure to visit at least one of them.

20. Take a look back in time with your social accounts

VKontakte, Facebook, Twitter ... Every day we write posts, tweets, statuses in which we share our thoughts, talk about our favorite films and books, mention important and interesting events for us.

Take a couple of evenings to re-read your notes two, three, or even four years ago. This will allow you to remember your successes, pleasant events in your life. Or maybe you just smile when you realize how much your interests have changed over the years.

The easiest way to do this is using Twitter, there is a function "Request Tweet Archive".

21. Spend the day at the water park

Another favorite summer entertainment that you shouldn't forget about in winter.

If you are an avid film fan, then, of course, you cannot deny yourself this pleasure. For those who do not want to stay at home, the best option is to visit cinemas that will delight you with New Year's novelties. And for everyone else, New Year's holidays are a great time to revisit their loved ones from childhood.

23. Find a country for wintering

If you are tired of the winter cold and nothing is a joy to you, find yourself a country where you will spend the winter. And we will help you to spend the remaining two winter months in warmth and comfort and will show you five countries in which you can wait out the winter.

24. Make coffee according to recipes from around the world

And if you still can't go to a warm country, then it doesn't matter - learn how to do it, and you will feel much warmer even without traveling.

25. Take time for yourself

Go to the pool, gym, beauty salon, treat yourself to new things. In the whirlwind of everyday affairs and worries, we so often do not have enough time for ourselves, so try to fix this on New Year's holidays.

26. Do not forget about our smaller brothers

30. Make boring activities interesting

Alas, even on New Year's holidays, no one canceled queues and traffic jams. But even in traffic jams and queues, you can spend your time in an interesting and useful way. We will tell you how to do this.

31. Have an evening of memories

It doesn't matter with whom - with family, friends or a loved one. Just have a meeting over a cup of tea and share with each other the warm memories that are important to you. Such gatherings are very close and teach to appreciate everything, even insignificant moments.

32. Play board games or solve a huge puzzle

These two activities will again help you return to childhood for a short time, and the resulting emotions will help you stay cheerful throughout the day. A list will help you.

33. Make new acquaintances

Go to the nearest anti-cafe. The atmosphere reigning there is always conducive to new acquaintances, and in half an hour or an hour you will be singing with a guitar or playing board games with new friends.

34. Make a photo collage

Surely the past year was rich in events that you want to remember. Make a photo collage that will remind you of the highlights of the year and hang it in your room. If possible, do the same for your friends.

35. Go to a karaoke club

Favorite entertainment, which is always relevant and which should be remembered on New Year's holidays.

36. Walk around the city with a player

Are you sure that during the New Year's holidays you observe the daily norm of 10 thousand steps? Not? Then quickly go for a walk and grab a player with your loved ones to make it more fun to walk.

37. Meet the sunrise at least once during the New Year holidays

On weekdays in winter, we usually meet dawn on the way to work, thinking that we have to get up before dawn. During the New Year holidays, we can meet the dawn, rejoicing in it. You don't even need to go outside for this - you can watch this miracle of nature from the balcony.

38. Work or Learn

A lesson for incorrigible workaholics: if you are a freelancer, you can continue to complete work tasks even on holidays, and if a student, you can start preparing for the exams that await you in mid-January.

39. Spend New Year's holidays in the countryside

A similar option as with a camp site, but more budgetary. If you have relatives in the village, then you will not only have a rest, but will also be engaged in useful business - you will help them with the housework.

40. Don't forget about traditional winter activities - skating and skiing

Mass ice skating or a ski trip with friends - what could be better on a winter day off?

41. Go shopping

You don't have to go to the shopping malls, which you already visit almost every weekend. If you have the opportunity to travel to a nearby town, then go shopping and shop there.

42. Play the game "What are we going to do today"

If you are in the company of friends and cannot choose what to do for you, then play the game “What are we going to do today”. The meaning is this: each of those present writes one lesson on a piece of paper, for example, “let's go to the cinema,” “let's have dinner at a restaurant,” “let's go to make a snowman,” and so on. The leaves must be put in a hat, and then someone from those present must pull out one of the leaves without looking - what is written on it will be the plan for the day.

43. Don't forget about free New Year's events in your city

Concerts, discos, exhibitions ... In your city there is probably something similar and, nicely, completely free.

44. Teach Someone What You Can Do

45. Improve Yourself

Are you friends with a skateboard or skates? Okay, New Year's holidays is the time to learn a couple of new tricks to surprise your friends.

46. ​​Make your New Year's video

47. Update your resume

This is especially true for those who are going to change their place of work in the new year. And we will tell you.

48. Start blogging

49. Do something unexpected for yourself

Are you sure that you are completely unable to draw or cook deliciously? Or maybe you just didn't try hard enough? Go through your “I can't” and try again. Remember that patience and work will grind everything, and you will have another reason to be proud of yourself.

50. Riding at random is an activity for the bored

If you have already done everything you wanted, and sitting at home is boring, then sit down on the first minibus that comes across, but before that, ask some number. Let’s say I’m guessing the number 8, which means that I’ll get off at the eighth stop and go explore the surrounding area. Don't forget to stock up on your camera and don't wander too far - all adventures are good in moderation. :)

What will you do on New Year's holidays?

There is still no reason to rush out of town or to the south. The January holidays, with their unhurried rhythm and festive mood, is a great chance to get to know the city better, warm up on the skating rink and even master a couple of exotic skills, from making wooden toys to creating a shadow theater. The iz.ru portal compiled a guide to the main entertainment in the capital in early January.

Walk around the city

New Year's holidays are a time when, in order to have fun and feel the festive atmosphere, you just need to walk along the streets. Moreover, the weather these days in the capital are promised, to put it mildly, not cold.

Those who love rollerblading, but do not want to go to the center, should pay attention to Poklonnaya Gora - there you can not only look at copies of the world's main architectural masterpieces made of ice, but also slide down the walls of the 12-meter-high ice Kremlin.

Become a puppet master and discover Moscow

Within the framework of the same "Journey to Christmas" festival, not only performances, but also master classes will be held in the capital at different venues. At the Revolution Square, for example, everyone can learn about the old traditions of celebrating the New Year and Christmas. Children at this time can be sent to the carpentry workshop - there they will learn how to make Christmas tree decorations and candlesticks from wood.

Fairs on the streets of Moscow

Girls, perhaps, will be more interested in the workshop on Tverskaya, where they learn to make puppets for home theaters. And in Klimentovsky Lane, you can learn about the skill of scenography and drama, or try your hand at creating a home theater of shadows and a puppet theater.

In addition, a special excursion program will work on holidays in the capital. You can find an option for every taste - from getting to know the little-known history of the central streets to walking through the main metropolitan cemeteries. Most of the excursions will be free, but you must sign up for them in advance.

Take part in performances

This year, going to the theater or to the New Year's show can be combined with a walk. For example, ice ballets will be shown every day on the skating rink in Novopushkinsky Square. They promise, among other things, new interpretations of Swan Lake, The Nutcracker, Snow White and Cipollino. On Tverskaya Square, fairy tales from different countries will be shown, which were brought to the capital by artists from European theaters. And on Novy Arbat, which will turn into a small Scandinavia, you can see Andersen's fairy tales.

Premiere of the ice ballet "Cinderella" in Novopushkinsky square

Those who want to find themselves in the very center of theatrical action should go to Manezhnaya - there, in the “Magic Forest”, every day of the festival an immersive performance “12 months” will unfold, in which everyone can take part. Another similar action, but with a Japanese accent, can be watched in Klimentovsky Lane.

Go to the ice rink or become a snowboarder

Those who stay in Moscow for the New Year holidays have a chance to go to the largest outdoor skating rink in the world and, concurrently, the country's main skating rink. On the territory of VDNKh this year, more than 20 thousand square meters of ice paths were flooded, and winter sports became its main topic.

Muscovites at the skating rink

The GUM Skating Rink will operate on Red Square for several years in a row, a Stereo Skating Rink with optical illusions and light shows opened in Gorky Park this winter, and in Sokolniki you can skate and plunge into the atmosphere of a music hall. In addition, almost every park in the capital has opened its own skating rinks, so if you wish, you can simply choose the one that will be close to your home.

But if ice skating is a familiar thing for the townspeople, then you will not always see a real snowboarding park in the center of the capital. This winter it will be possible to try yourself in the role of the conqueror of snow slopes on Novy Arbat, where professional instructors with all the necessary equipment are waiting for those wishing to ride.

Get around the museums

77 Moscow museums will be free during the New Year holidays. Among them are the New Manege, which hosts an exhibition dedicated to the work of Eldar Ryazanov, the Museum of Moscow on Zubovsky Boulevard, the memorial apartment of Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin and the house-museum of Marina Tsvetaeva, the Museum of Russian Harmonica, the Fashion Museum and the Moscow Museum of Modern Art. You can view the full list and find out the program of museums.

Christmas decorations made at the oldest Russian enterprise "Elochka" in Klin

Many manor museums and reserves will become free. So, you don't have to buy a ticket to visit Tsaritsyno or Kolomenskoye. In the first one it will be possible not only to see the estate itself, but also to get to the exhibition "Dachnoe Tsaritsyno". In Kolomenskoye, one of the New Year's exhibitions will be open on holidays. The palace will tell about the history of the production of the famous glass Christmas tree decorations, which have been made by craftsmen in Klin for more than a hundred years.

Visitors will be presented with about 800 exhibits from Moscow and Moscow region museums, as well as from private collections. In addition to the actual toys of different years, there you can see, for example, a suit and a hat decorated with blown glass, as well as learn about the production process of your favorite Christmas tree classics. The exhibition will run until January 21. But on January 7, in the same place, in "Kolomenskoye", it will be possible to take part in Christmas festivities.

New Year is one of the most anticipated holidays. The New Year mood comes into its own a month before December 31 and every day increases the anticipation of the happiest night of the year. In order for the holiday to be bright and leave behind pleasant memories, you need to know in advance how you will spend New Year's Eve.

2017 year of the Fire Rooster promises to be bright and eventful. So that good luck accompanies you everywhere in it, you need to meet the year cheerfully, brightly and warmly, because the folk omen says: "As you celebrate the New Year, so you will spend it." But if we know in advance how to set the table for the New Year 2017, what to give to relatives and what to friends, then not everyone knows exactly how to spend New Year's Eve.

Meeting the New Year with family: truthful fortune-telling

First of all, New Year is a family holiday. Most often, New Year's Eve is spent with family and close relatives: this symbolizes the unity of the family and the strength of family ties.

After the traditional part of the evening, you need to come up with something equally interesting for everyone present. New Year's fortune-telling can be an excellent entertainment. For them you will need:

• pre-cut strips of paper;
• pen;
• a bag made of dense fabric.

Fortune-telling must be prepared in advance: calculate the number of paper strips so that there are two predictions for each person present. Write New Year's wishes and prophecies on each piece of paper. All of them should be positive, because the New Year is a holiday of goodness.

Examples of predictions:

• “Financial success awaits you in the New Year”;
• “Expect new family members”;
• "You will go on a beautiful journey";
• "Your problem will be solved soon";
• "Great love awaits you";
• "The Fire Rooster will drive away all diseases."

Put all the predictions in a bag and have everyone present take out a piece of paper for themselves. The results are more fun to read aloud and discuss among themselves: such a pastime will entertain everyone present and give faith in the New Year's miracle.

We celebrate the New Year of the Rooster with friends: games for any company

New Year's Eve with friends is also an extremely widespread tradition. We surround ourselves with people with whom we have good memories and common interests. You can have fun in a friendly company with the help of funny team or calm games.

Fanta."A game for all time." Each present must give one of his things to the presenter chosen by a general vote. All things are put into a bag, hat or any opaque container. The presenter, without looking, pulls out one thing and either assigns a task for its owner himself, or instructs everyone to come up with a task together. The master of the "fanta" must complete the task.

Crocodile. Another extremely interesting game for imagination and understanding each other. By lot or voting, a presenter is selected, who must be the first to show with gestures any phenomenon, term or character: for example, a Brownie. The one who guessed the word is the first to receive the next task from the presenter and replace it “on stage”. Tricks and difficult tasks will only add to everyone's fun and make New Year's Eve unforgettable.

Cards. The good old card game will not leave anyone indifferent. The choice is huge: from "Fool" to poker. The main thing is to explain the rules again before starting the game and not to gamble on money, decorations and New Year's gifts.

There are a great many scenarios for an excellent New Year's Eve, but the most important thing is for everyone to feel needed and loved, because the New Year is a time of faith in miracles, warmth and only positive emotions. We wish you a Happy and Happy New Year. Be happy and remember to press the buttons and

You don't have to go to the city center to take part in the exciting Journey to Christmas workshops. At venues in all districts, guests can enjoy daily entertainment for every taste: from an ice skating rink to a chess school, from cooking exotic New Year's meals to open English lessons.

In addition, from December 31 to January 8, the best residents of the central festival sites, who are engaged in educational programs, will go on tour to urban districts. For example, the children's city of professions "Kidburg" holds classes on Manezhnaya Square every day. Children master the profession of a reporter, create cartoons and learn the basics of ecology. At the same time, on January 2, the same master classes will be held in the SEAD, at the site at 3 Marshal Chuikov Street.

The “tour” program will also include the city of craftsmen “Masterslavl”, “Garage Kulibin PRO” (master classes in robotics), the computer academy “Shag”, the carpentry workshop “SM-47”.

However, the constant program of the festival in the districts is quite rich. So, you can come to the site near the Danilovsky market for unusual purchases and treats. The local vintage flea market sells Christmas decorations, kitchen utensils, dishes, and decor items. It is here that you can buy rare ruby ​​glass goblets from 1830 and unusual figurines for the home. At the food court, guests will find “Ban Bao” steam cakes with duck and quail eggs, a Cossack shop with national drinks and homemade jam, pies, hot dogs, pancakes, handmade gingerbread cookies and warming drinks. There is also a free skating rink on this site every day.

On the site in the South-West Administrative District (Kosygina Street, house 17), interactive lessons in English will be held until December 30 inclusive. And from January 1 to January 15, chess master classes will be held there every day. The program includes classes with eminent grandmasters, family tournaments and educational games.

You can also play chess at the festival site on Europe Square. Young visitors will find exciting lectures on the history of the game, open tournaments and, of course, gifts. In addition, there will be lessons in acting and stage speech, interactive lessons from the Tik-Tak theater at the Moscow Zoo, and a variety of art master classes.

For the most unusual culinary master classes, you should go to Troitsk. Here children are introduced every day to the New Year and Christmas traditions of different countries: from Australia to Japan and from India to Azerbaijan. And at the same time they teach there how to cook local festive dishes. For example, in an open class on Japan and China, young cooks will make a vanilla fortune cookie.

European Christmas dishes are prepared in the SEAD, at the site at Marshal Chuikov Street, possession 3. There you can learn how to make a German Christmas Stollen pie stuffed with raisins and nuts, a Laurent pie with a surprise bean and spicy Icelandic latte tea.

And also bright shows and concerts, fascinating master classes, delicious dishes and original souvenirs for the whole family.

Every hour the chimes will strike on the shell stage, and the presenter will announce in which part of the world the new year has just begun. Countries and continents will be represented by musicians who combine modern sound, ethnic melodies, jazz and indie in their work.

New Year's traditions from all over the world will be transferred to Moscow: guests will be dressed up with speckled clothes, as is customary in the Philippines, treated with Georgian kozinaki, asked to eat 12 grapes, as they do in Spain, and given a couple of firecrackers to blow up, as happens in Berlin. The skating rink will work in front of the stage throughout the holiday. The holiday will end at 03:00.

Address: Staraya Basmannaya street, 15

Time: 21: 00-03: 00

Tagansky park

The magical New Year will begin to be celebrated at 22:00 in Tagansky Park. The guests will celebrate the holiday together with the heroes of the Harry Potter books. At one of the city's largest ice rinks, a Quidditch battle will unfold with magic brooms instead of hockey sticks and rings instead of gates. The main square will become a place for magic competitions and ballroom master classes, and a group with an almost fabulous name "Brothers Grim" will perform on the stage. The program will end at three in the morning.
