Home holiday
What could be better than celebrating a holiday with your family? Adults begin preparing already in December - choosing gifts for household members, discussing the menu for the New Year's table, and planning a festive program.
For children this is one of best options celebration, because they will remember how they bought new toys with their parents, went with adults to stores colorfully decorated with garlands, how a live fluffy Christmas tree appeared at home, transforming the whole house.
Children are very happy when they are allowed to decorate the Christmas tree, help their mother in the kitchen - not only bring already prepared dishes to the table, but make them with their own hands.
Children can happily help their parents decorate windows and walls with bright garlands, hang magic snowflakes and colorful lights on the walls.

New Year's holidays are loved by both children and most adults - especially those who have already become parents. After all, no holiday brings joy as much as the one your child enjoys.
Recently I thought about what an ideal New Year should be like for a child. First of all, probably magical. After all, faith in fairy tales and miracles is something that we adults, unfortunately, lose over time, and along with this faith we also lose something very joyful and magical. But we can experience these feelings again together with our children, creating a fairy tale for them.
In our country, the New Year is a popularly beloved holiday, the most cheerful and long-awaited, uniting all Russians. Although the New Year is considered family holiday, but it is celebrated en masse, throughout the country: when, if not on New Year, can you get warm and sincere congratulations from absolutely stranger, and answer it just as sincerely?
On the eve of the New Year, the feeling of celebration reigns everywhere: on the streets, in parks, shops, schools and kindergartens, at work and - of course - at home. This anticipation of the holiday, combined with the magical atmosphere of winter, the mystery of decorating a home, Christmas trees on every corner and the hassle of preparing gifts for family and friends, creates an unforgettable feeling for a child from the very beginning. early years his life. Together with adults, even an unintelligent child feels the anticipation of a magical, unforgettable celebration.
I would like my daughter, Lisa, to wait for the New Year precisely for this feeling of an approaching universal miracle, and not at all for the sake of Once again receive a batch of toys from unfamiliar relatives, our friends or an abstract Santa Claus.
It’s great if the child can already make gifts for relatives and friends with his own hands. On the Internet there is an endless variety of tips and master classes on how to make a gift with your own hands for any age. It is very important that the child himself is interested in the process and understands well that he is making a gift that will go to someone for a long time. It’s great if the desire to give people joy arises in a child not at the behest of an adult, but from the heart.
Of course, for the first time it is better for an adult to participate in the production a beautiful gift, its packaging and, of course, in its presentation. This is sure to please a child of any age. The main thing is not to insist on his participation, but to try to captivate him with your example.
The same can be said about decorating your home: if you are happy to cut out snowflakes and paste them on windows and mirrors, decorate a Christmas tree in your apartment or in the yard, then this will probably arouse the keenest interest in your child and a desire to participate in the process.
It seems to me that if you involve a child in the “pre-New Year’s bustle,” then there is a chance that next year he himself will wait for this day in order to share with you the preparations for it and its anticipation.
But the anticipation of a holiday is often much more pleasant than the holiday itself. And it is anticipation, in my opinion, that is what is worth sharing with others, what motivates us to come up with congratulations, choose and create Original gifts, meet with friends and family for New Year's table, in general - to create a holiday, and not to passively observe it.
So, what do I think is important for the New Year to become the most favorite holiday for a child:
Be sure to share your joy and anticipation of the holiday with your child;
Prepare gifts for your loved ones together with your child: these can be either homemade or purchased gifts, beautifully wrapped with your own hands;
Be sure to involve your child in decorating the house: cut out and glue snowflakes together, decorate the Christmas tree, hang garlands;
Be sure to write a letter to Santa Claus with your children! Writing and sending a letter and then waiting for the "ordered" gift is one of the most memorable New Year's events in their childhood;
Involve your child in preparing and decorating dishes for festive table- instruct them to do what is appropriate for their age and strength;
Let children participate in the New Year celebrations with adults - once a year you can break your usual routine;
Don’t forget about entertainment especially for children: these can be quizzes, competitions, playing forfeits, launching fireworks, sliding down the slides, going to the skating rink together and much, much more!
New Year is perhaps the most beloved holiday throughout the entire former Soviet Union.
Both children and their parents adore it, impatiently waiting for this magical holiday to finally come. Just waiting for it lifts your spirits and instills joy.
For children, the New Year is a holiday of magic and gifts.
Not only children, but also adults agree with this, but it is in childhood that the celebration of the New Year is perceived especially brightly and almost magically.
And so that the child does not experience disappointment, so that his expectations are not deceived and so that the feeling of magic does not disappear, parents of children should make some efforts and imagination.
In order for the feeling of the holiday to be extended, parents need to start preparing for it in advance. To do this, they should start shopping for gifts and cards with their children.
You can also imagine together what competitions can be held on a festive night, together compose and write invitations for those who will be invited to visit, think over festive outfits (also, of course, together) and learn holiday poems with your child.
The most important element of pre-New Year preparations is a New Year's costume for the baby.
To do this, it is not at all necessary to sew or buy some sophisticated outfits.
No, if the financial capabilities of the parents allow it, then you can dress the child as a prince or princess, but in order for the child to have a festive mood, the emphasis should be on ensuring that the child has an image. Most likely, a mother’s imagination, supported by love for her baby and the desire to make New Year’s Eve magical, will allow her, at any opportunity and with the help of minimal means at her disposal, to make her child a costume worthy of any carnival.
Another equally important element of the New Year celebration should be the script. If it is poorly chosen, your child will be bored. Take your time: when he grows up, he will have to go through more than one boring corporate party, so try to make the scenario exciting and unforgettable.
The main rule for you should be the following: on the New Year, everyone should have fun with all their hearts!
For this reason, you should plan ahead of time what games the children will play and in what form gifts will be given to them. Of course, there should be a place for Father Frost and the Snow Maiden, as well as others fairy tale characters, for example, Baba Yaga, Koshchei the Immortal or Leshy.
IN Lately some overly “advanced” parents prefer Santa Claus, believing that it is more modern and that Santa Claus is not European. However, this should not be done. Such an approach in the future will result in admiration for everything foreign and contempt for one’s own traditions and culture, which, in the end, can result in a national inferiority complex and groveling before foreigners. Let your child learn to value his traditions and be proud of them, because he himself is a representative of this culture and traditions.
Moreover, no one values or respects those who do not value and respect themselves.
The holiday should not be turned into viewing New Year's programs and show.
Please note that there is a lot of entertainment that will delight your child on this night. If you have karaoke in your house, you can invite your children to play as artists. Let them try to impersonate celebrities: it will be a lot of fun for both them and you. Sing New Year's songs with them. You can even try composing them yourself, and it's best to do this together with your children. You can do it New Year's fortune telling, which are also our tradition, which our ancestors carried into modern times from the depths of centuries.
A New Year's walk with sledding down a hill or a snowball fight can be a great way to spend your time. In short, there is a huge variety of possible options.
The main thing is that whatever option you choose is fun and safe.
New Year's gifts should be placed only under the tree, which should not be a symbolic branch, but a real shaggy beauty. And for this it is not at all necessary to cut down a Christmas tree in the forest. It is much more profitable to buy a synthetic one, which will be hairier and more durable than natural one. And to make your house smell like New Year, you can use the following proven recipe: collect spruce or pine buds or tips of twigs. Lightly cut them on a board and cover with water. Heat it all on the stove (if the water boils, it’s okay) and put it in the room. Very soon it will be filled with such an intoxicating aroma that you have not felt for a long time. And if you add here such a traditional smell for this holiday as the aroma of tangerines, then the range of smells will become even more festive!
Sweets and a lot of tangerines are the main symbols of the New Year, especially for kids! When you choose gifts for children, remember that the New Year is a holiday of magic, and, therefore, gifts should also be magical, maybe even witchcraft!
Forget about practicality for a moment! Let the gift be beautiful and bright.
It is best if this is the gift that your baby has been dreaming of for a long time. You can see for yourself that no amount of money can compare with the happiness that will light up your child’s eyes. And what could be more important for parents than the happiness of their children.
If parents are planning to go on holiday with their children on a New Year's tour for the New Year, then make an effort to ensure that even in this situation the children are not left out and fully receive all those joys and positive emotions that this magical, unforgettable holiday can give!
You will need

Instructions
First and foremost, miracles in the house begin with the first click of an old and dusty suitcase opening, containing Christmas tree decorations. Try to store this suitcase so that little explorers won't discover it in the middle of summer.
The main attribute of the New year a is a Christmas tree, real or artificial. There is no need to show your children that this is unnecessary trouble for you, that it is better to put up the tree closer to the 31st, and maybe on the day of the holiday itself. A Christmas tree is the key to a good mood, both for adults and children. Let the process of decorating this fabulous tree become a celebration. Gather the whole family on December 25 and assign roles, let the baby have the honorable role of placing a star on the “top” of the tree, let dad assemble the tree itself, let grandparents hang the toys, and let older brothers and sisters decorate the entire room with garlands and tinsel.
Over the next five days, together with your child, you can make crafts - snowflakes, postcards, funny toys, with which the room will gradually be filled in anticipation of a miracle. On the eve of the holiday and after goes to TV festive program, however, it is by no means designed for children. Stock up on old Soviet new ones year them with cartoons and fairy tales, as well as good Disney publications. Let your child enjoy watching in the cold winter evenings, before going to bed, so to speak, gradually bringing the holiday closer.
Definitely in good time year sculpt snowmen and snowmen, it will be great if you can watch them from your window. Go sledding with your child! And also go for a walk in the evening, when the snowflakes “dance” under the light of the lanterns.
If peers live next door baby, try organizing competitions and games for children. Prizes can include sweets and small souvenirs. Competitions can be very diverse - from putting together puzzles on speed, mixed into a common pile, to playing “hot and cold”.
Now about gifts, children really love bright boxes, so don’t waste time packing surprises. Prepare one gift from Santa Claus, attach a postcard that says how the baby behaved over the past year, and what is expected of him in the coming years. The gift should appear under the tree at 12.00. For everything to work out, turn off the lights, count to 10 and light the lanterns on the Christmas tree; in these 10 seconds, dad or relatives will quickly be able to put surprises in the dark.
And lastly, if a child asks you not to put him to bed, respond to his request, because this is a holiday, and on this day any wishes come true. The baby will be happy and fall asleep sweetly on the sofa next to you. And then you take him to his crib, cover him with a blanket, watching the contented smile on his face. Don't forget to leave a little surprise under your pillow - after all, you promised that reindeer and Santa Claus' helpers would come to visit, they just come unexpectedly. Meet the New year with a smile, with joy, with trepidation, plunge into childhood headlong, and you yourself will believe in Santa Claus!
