New Year alone: ​​what to do during the holidays?

The need to celebrate the New Year alone looks unusual and even frightening. It is considered to be a family holiday, and fun in a large company has already become an integral part of the celebration. In fact, if you think in advance about how best to meet and spend the coming night, all losses can be minimized, even to find advantages in the current situation. Signs are also not always scary, sometimes New Year's loneliness on holidays is not so bad, especially if you properly prepare for the celebration.

There are many New Year's signs. If you believe in everything, you will have to urgently distribute debts, put coins under the rug by the door, wait for the scratching of your left hand, stock up on hearts and cinnamon sticks to lure love. It all looks no less crazy than the belief that spending the New Year in splendid isolation is a lack of relationships. Hundreds of thousands of people around the world are at this time in the hospital or on duty, flying on an airplane or stuck in traffic jams. Sometimes you just can't plan where it would be better to celebrate the holiday.

If you have to spend the New Year alone, you should find a positive attitude from the very beginning, weigh all the pros and cons of such a pastime. Among the obvious advantages, several points can be noted.

1. The ability to manage your time. Down with boring speeches and blue lights. You can play your favorite TV show or TV show, watch the webcast from Times Square, or go for a walk. There is no need to waste time on satisfying other people's desires, agreeing on plans. If you want to sleep well, you can just go to bed any minute.
2. Lack of dress code. Celebrating the New Year in smart pajamas or lying in a bath in fragrant foam is easy if there is no one else at home. Dressing up is also not forbidden, but it is not at all necessary.
3. Menu to choose from. It is not necessary to eat "Olivier" and "herring under a fur coat", treat yourself to stewed potatoes and drink champagne. You can order pizza and get by with lemonade, or have a feast with truffles and burgundy.
4. Good company guaranteed. Nobody spoils the mood with an inappropriate joke. He will not fall asleep with his face in a salad bowl, having previously pierced the stretch ceiling with a cork, and then filled the table with fizzy drinks. Alone with yourself is sometimes very good, especially since you can congratulate your friends in the morning.
5. Freedom to choose a place for a celebration. MYou can find an interesting program outside the home, go to the main city square, stay in your apartment or be on a train 1000 kilometers from your hometown. There are no restrictions.

The idea of ​​celebrating New Year's at home is not so bad. Here, just to celebrate this night alone properly, you have to adhere to certain rules. It is possible to perfectly celebrate a holiday only if you tune in to a positive mood from the very beginning. Even if this choice is not entirely voluntary, you need to look at the situation with your eyes open. Several nuances will be prohibited.

1. Personal life topics. Instead of looking back, look forward. The absence of an unsuitable person nearby already indicates that the New Year will turn out well.
2. Holiday madness ideas. Compensating for loneliness with hectic shopping is definitely not worth it. It is better to start a piggy bank, put all the money not spent on super sales in it, and treat yourself to a really useful gift for the holiday.
3. Calls to your ex. Ex-girlfriends, guys, girls - all those with whom yesterday did not even want to say hello, on the eve of the holidays, acquire an aura of fabulous personages-saviors. Don't waste your time on this. It is better to be critical when choosing a company than to be close to completely strangers.
4. Excuses. Loneliness in the New Year is a conscious choice of a person who needs an honest relationship with himself. Avoiding noisy companies is a must for any introvert. And even extroverts sometimes want to be alone. No need to make excuses, look for far-fetched reasons.
