It often happens that the red date is close, and the festive mood still does not come. This does not stop to fully prepare for the holiday, to feel its atmosphere. And it’s good if you don’t feel like celebrating your “158” birthday, but what should you do if you don’t even want to think about your favorite holidays like New Year and Christmas since childhood? Although sadness before your birthday can also be fought using some of the tips.
Decoration
It's no secret that there is no New Year without decorations. So, maybe you should start with this, giving your home a smart look? The Christmas tree, garlands, rains - all this cannot but give at least a drop of fun. If this is another holiday - you need to decorate in a different vein. Consider the proposals of designers specifically for winter decorations.
1. The main symbol of the New Year is the main reason to get a festive mood. And in this case, it does not matter at all whether your choice falls on a tree from the forest or on artificial beauty. Decide what color holiday you need, and begin to "dress" the Christmas tree with the whole family.
The size of the tree does not affect the mood, so there is no need to choose a three-meter spruce - take the one that you like. If you want to buy a simple wreath on the door or a small bunch of twigs - take it.
2. Lighting has a strong effect on mood, so think it through carefully. Candles, holiday lanterns, garlands - all these are components of a fabulous mood, so you should not neglect them.
3. Think of the whole apartment. It’s not enough to put a Christmas tree in the main room, that's all. It is necessary to carry at least a minimum of joy throughout the apartment, not forgetting about the kitchen and the corridor. If you live in a house - hang decorations outside too.
4. Change colors. Try to decorate your home in an unusual way. If most often you hang colored toys, maybe it's time to stop on a monochrome version? Blue / silver, red / gold, just white. And if it requires a wide soul - completely black. The main thing is that, looking at the apartment, you feel joy, a festive mood.
If finances do not allow you to purchase jewelry, you can sit down with the whole family for their manufacture. Not only will this bring benefits and pleasure, but it will also bring the family closer, and will make it possible to communicate at work.
Of course, before the birthday, there is no need for a Christmas tree and garlands. But still, to put fresh flowers, make candles, arrange sachets with your favorite aroma is quite appropriate. Many people like to burn Indian incense, which have a positive effect on the nervous system.
Plan
You can find the festive New Year mood by drawing up a plan. Decide what style the holiday will be, what actions you need to take before it arrives. Whom will you invite to visit, where will you go, on which day, what should you dress children for morning performances and public Christmas trees? Be sure to think over your outfit, hairstyle, makeup, because for a woman, creating a festive mood begins with decorating herself.
Congratulations
So what if there is still a lot of time before the holidays? Congratulating a good person is always nice. And your own festive mood only benefits from this. When meeting friends, acquaintances, do not forget to congratulate them on the upcoming holidays. Paying in a store, congratulations. Leave messages and statuses on social networks. Remind about the upcoming holiday in the beauty salon, in the sauna, at work, on the bus - look forward to it.
Gifts
Children never ask themselves the question of how to create a festive mood. In order to catch fire, a child just needs to remember gifts! So, maybe you should take an example from them and start acquiring presents for loved ones and not so people? Souvenirs, trinkets or something more expensive - the main thing is to start. Depends on the cost of financial opportunities and the desire to please a particular person.
For colleagues, just acquaintances, it will be enough to purchase a postcard, a keychain, a small symbol of the coming year. Friends should buy beautiful and high-quality souvenirs. The closest ones will be happy with tickets to various events, household appliances, jewelry, perfumes, cosmetics, accessories - everything that you want to give them.
Choosing a children's gift is a special pleasure. True, all the glory will go to Santa Claus, but this is not the main thing, but the joy of the baby! Moreover, he has long been waiting for what he described in a letter to New Year's grandfather. Well, yes, you read this letter, what can I do ..
If you have financial opportunities, buy a gift for yourself. And you can even pack it in a beautiful wrapper. And put under the tree - and what, what are you worse than others?
By the way, a great gift for yourself beloved (or even beloved) will be a trip to a beauty salon or spa. There you can escape from everyday worries, relax, giving yourself into the hands of professionals. Massage, masks, body wraps, cleansing procedures ... And after all - hairstyle, manicure and pedicure. What could be better in order to cheer up before the holidays?
Table
What if there is no festive mood, and the New Year is already at the doorstep? Of course, go to the table! Few people will not enjoy the beautifully cleaned table, laden with delicious and favorite dishes. During the day, before the evening feast, you can treat yourself with a candy from a children's gift, a tangerine pulled out of the box, a piece of cake that is waiting in line after the main feast - it will still not come in handy before the first of January. Suddenly I wanted pizza - do not infringe on yourself, in the fight for a festive mood, all means are good!
Films
As without the good old movies. And although these tapes were already watched almost to the holes, but again and again, every year, on the thirty-first of December, with a guy ... oh, that is, we watch the same films. And still offended if suddenly some channel decided to change the usual course of things and launched some new, unknown films.
It would seem that these are very simple tips. But they really work. Therefore, if suddenly on the eve of the holidays you do not want anything at all, the thought of the coming days causes longing - try it. Worse will not be for sure. In an extreme case, you just do everything to make the holiday memorable for your family and loved ones. And be sure to smile - this is the most powerful tool!
