There is no feeling of a new year. Winter

21.09.2019

It's just that everyone is empty from fatigue...
Tolley ate what they wanted...

Christmas trees are similar to Christmas trees...
Long holidays of drinking and filth
And bad weather all month without sun -
Looking through the blinds through the double-glazed windows...

City in the cold neon of Gehenna..
In dirty snow as if in razor foam
In the lines of highways, the highways still do not sleep...
Where are you naive childish joy?

There are smiles in the old Christmas tree toys
Having died, having waited in mothballs
They lay in cotton wool like corpses for a long time...
Ghosts of the past, unsteady joys

Having lived a rough life, do you have time to redo it?
Not having time to sleep, not have lunch...
Without even having time to understand, to fall out of love -
Why are we running if we live forever?

Either we're getting old or the weather...
Is that not what we wanted at all?
Will everything come back after a drop?

Reviews

Thank you, Alexander: you reminded me of the joke about the “scorched” Christmas tree decorations. Nevertheless, I congratulate you on the past New Year and the Christmas of Orthodox IH. I wish you to run away from sorrows as far as possible in the new year. Wish pleasant surprises, the birth and fulfillment of dreams. In general, I wish you all sorts of cute nonsense :)
With bow

Thank you Vadim and I respect you. It’s amazing that with your lyricism in reviews (in poetry), you know how to give out such underground and avant-garde (I’m talking about the poem Hamster in the Window))))). Happy holiday to you and happiness and health to you)).

Oh, when we were little, there were Christmas trees - up to the ceiling, glass balls the lights of garlands that could not blink were reflected, the real Santa Claus came to the house and brought real gifts. Now we are adults, and we have the power to give the New Year to ourselves and our children so that it will remain forever in our hearts.

When preparing for the New Year, when there is so much to do, the main thing is to catch the festive mood and do everything with ease and pleasure. When packing gifts, imagine the happiness with which your loved ones will unwrap them. When decorating your home, think about how cozy you will be on New Year's Eve. When choosing champagne in a store, you can hear the cork pop loudly as the chimes begin.

Everyone has their own associations with the New Year: childhood memories, Christmas decorations, sparklers, the smell of pine needles. Fill your home with holiday symbols ahead of time to create the appropriate atmosphere. Our wonderful new product will help you with this“The Book of New Year and Christmas. Our days" .

How to create a magical mood

Here are examples of things to do that will help you feel the New Year approaching:

1. No reason to buy a gift for a friend.

2. Give a New Year's compliment to a stranger.

3. Decide to experiment with your hair (not necessarily something radical, like shaving your head - try unusual styling or colored strand).

4. Take part in a New Year's charity event. There are many such events, such as gifts for veterans or orphans. And financial assistance is not required everywhere: in some places you need a car, in others you need help with loading or sorting.

5. Visit and congratulate relatives whom you rarely visit.

6. Buy New Year's board game and play with family or friends.

7. Have a party New Year's cuisine(brew mulled wine, bake cookies) and invite guests.

8. Put on a Christmas play.

Magical aroma

Creating a spicy, warming aroma in your apartment is another way to transform your home on the eve of the holidays. Ginger, cinnamon, musk, rosemary, juniper, fig tree, clove - these scents are suitable for winter time, especially in combination with fresh air ventilated room.

Place containers with fragrant mixtures or aroma candles in the hallway, bathroom, on window sills or on tables. “Scent” a composition of essential oils from spruce branches and cones or use them for an aroma lamp.

A good Christmas blend: a drop of nutmeg, ylang-ylang, ginger and clove oil. Create New Year's composition from pine cones, walnuts, cinnamon sticks, citrus fruits with clove inflorescences stuck in them, place everything in a vase and drip a little essential oil, such as fir, cinnamon, orange and clove.

1. Arrange the toys in a spiral, and along the same trajectory - garlands with rain. Start with a garland to Christmas balls repeated her direction. Use spirals of the same color or try a gradient design.

2. Hang the garlands in a circle, and hang the toys however you like, in any order. The main thing is not to overdo it with the number of decorations and choose balls suitable sizes, it is better for the sizes to vary: the lower the ball hangs, the larger it is.

3. Place decorations and garlands vertically. To create balance, tie a knot in some places. lush bows or hang tinsel.

Gingerbread recipe

Bake a symbol of the holidays.

You will need:

150 g honey 200 g butter 100 g sugar teaspoon soda 3 eggs 500 g flour and, of course, spices (the classic trio “cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg”)

Add spices to taste, the more of them, the spicier the taste and the more dark color Gingerbread will have it. You don’t have to limit yourself to this trinity; mix other spices and additives into the dough: cocoa (the gingerbread will become richly dark), coriander, anise, orange zest, raisins, candied fruits, nuts.

1. Place honey, butter and spices in a saucepan, place it over low heat and gradually melt, stirring. Cool.

2. Beat the eggs with sugar until thick foam and stir them into the cooled spicy mixture.

3. Add soda to the flour and begin to gently stir the flour into the egg-honey-butter mixture. You will get a slightly sticky dough, it should not be too stiff. Wrap it in cling film and put it in the refrigerator overnight. By the way, the dough (all or part) can be frozen and returned to it in a few days or weeks.

4. The next day the dough will not stick, it will become elastic and pliable. Roll it out in layers of about 6-8 mm and cut out different shapes.

5. Place the gingerbread cookies on baking paper (keep in mind that they will increase in size during baking), place in an oven preheated to 180 degrees and bake for 10 minutes.

Make sure they don't burn. The finished gingerbread cookies are very soft at first, so do not rush to remove them from the paper - they are easy to damage. Once cooled, they will harden, and then you can easily transfer them to a plate. And then you can decorate them with the whole family!

Icing for gingerbread

The simplest and quick way prepare the glaze - mix powdered sugar with lemon juice or milk. Lemon juice adds a pleasant sourness, slightly taming the sweetness, and with milk the glaze turns out very tender. The proportion is approximately 2 tablespoons of liquid per 100 g of powder. You need to stir in the liquid carefully so that the glaze does not turn out to be too liquid. The glaze is the right consistency - thick and viscous. Place the prepared glaze into plastic bag, cut off a corner and draw patterns with icing on the surface of the gingerbread.

Ginger dough is great to make gingerbread houses. The disassembled house is sold in stores or at fairs - you just need to assemble it. But if you want to feel like a real architect, draw a design (get inspiration from the Internet), cut out parts of the house from dough, bake them and build a sweet house.

- This is probably the only holiday that not only children, but also adults look forward to and love, for which they prepare long before its onset. An evening from which they expect, if not a miracle, then at least a magical atmosphere.

Millinocket Floral Shop

And we ourselves must create this special New Year’s atmosphere. How? We'll talk about this in this article.

Of course, the very first and main attribute of the New Year is the Christmas tree. Buy a live pine tree. Together with it, a wonderful pine aroma will burst into your home, which since childhood we have associated with the upcoming celebration! If you prefer a live artificial spruce tree, decorate it. And we will fill the room with aromas in other ways.

Fragrances

On the eve of the holiday, place scented candles in the room. With their combustion they will fill the apartment with comfort and create a special festive atmosphere. Just don't forget about safety precautions! Place candles out of the reach of children and pets, and away from flammable objects.

To the scents of the candles, of course, will be added the smell of citrus fruits, without which it is simply impossible to imagine the New Year!

Ringtones

Sounds should also be added to the aromas. Select in advance a collection of New Year's melodies or songs that you like. Let the music play throughout the day. Good music not only lifts your spirits, but also creates a feeling of celebration!

Traditions

Come up with your own family traditions, which will always be associated with the New Year. For example, exchanging gifts. Think about when and how this will happen - in the morning, in the evening or during the chimes. Or maybe you’ll start putting together a photo collage with the events of the past year? Or, after dark, go together to the city Christmas tree with crackers and sparklers.

Another important point, which I would like to note: for the celebration to be successful, it is necessary not only good mood, but also well-being. This especially applies to those who are involved in all the preparations - housewives. If you stand at the stove all day, run around the shops, arrange general cleaning, then by the end of the day there is no time for a holiday. I want to relax and unwind. So try not to tire yourself out – there’s still a whole night of fun ahead.

1. Share responsibilities with household members.

2. What can be done in advance, do it. For example, cleaning can be done on December 30, or entrusted to children. Cut the salads in advance and put them in the refrigerator, and just dress them with sauce before serving.

3. Buy everything necessary products at least a week before the holiday. Then you won’t have to rush to look for missing ingredients and nervously stand in mind-blowing lines.

4. Periodically take short breaks to relax and spend this time with your family.

Mood, music, scents, decorations! All these components add up to a single whole - a wonderful holiday atmosphere - the New Year.

We wish you a happy, bright and unforgettable New Year!
