New year in nature
Many people have the idea of meeting New Year on the nature it seems absurd: dark, cold, boring, civilization is far away. But in fact, the celebration of the New Year in the fresh air can be fun and interesting, the main thing is to take a responsible approach to planning the holiday.
To celebrate the New Year is not nature - it does not mean to get into a remote forest away from civilization. Such a celebration may not only be too fun, but also dangerous. To celebrate the New Year in the open air you need a "base": someone's dacha or a country house, at the worst- recreation center, which provides houses for rent. Own dacha, of course, is preferable - you do not have to divide the territory with other similar companies.
If you do not want your New Year in nature marred force majeure, for the celebration will have to prepare in advance. First of all make a list of all the necessary products and buy them in advance: you will not have the opportunity at the last moment to rush into the store for mayonnaise.
Then estimate, that you will need other than food and that of this already is in the country. Is there a brazier, or need to think wheretake it? Do you have any dishes, or will you have to take it with you from the city? Take care of firewood and fluids for ignition, do not forget to grab spare clothing and shoes just in case. But try not to drag too much with you, take only the essentials.
Further take care of transport. Decide how you will get. There are several options. If someone has a car, he can take food and stuff to the place, and the rest will get "on their own". If there is no car, you can order a taxi - one or more. Finally, you can share things and products at all and get by public transport.
Depends everything from the distance on which the cottage / recreation center, the number of people and things, your budget is located. It is important to choose the best option and do it in advance, so that your New Year on the nature did not break due to the fact that he can not get. However, it will not break, but it can spoil the mood. Be sure to take care of the possibility of emergency departure from the place of celebration, if, God forbid, something happens to someone.
So, you've arrived, unloaded, what's next? To prepare for the holiday passed quickly and at ease, it is important to distribute responsibilities. Someone will take care of the barbecue and clear the paths,someone will take care of cooking, and children (if they are) can be instructed to dress up a Christmas tree. Cutting a green beauty is not worth it, it's better to decorate a tree growing on a site (in the absence of a Christmas tree, its role can be played by any low tree and even a bush).
By the way, you do not need to take fragile toys with you. Better decorate the Christmas tree with interesting things that will fall under your arm - as in the cartoon "Winter in Prostokvashino." Yes, though, decorate mittens for lack of other ornaments. The main thing - that the tree was unusual and original. If the house has electricity, you can decorate it with New Year's illumination. Only to do this must be deliberate and not hastily.
Finally, everything is ready, you can start celebrating. The main thing here is not to freeze. The big mistake many people make istrying to get warm with alcohol. Alcohol does not warm, but only dulls the feeling of cold, you may not notice how cold it is. Much better to warm up will help hot food and drink (shish kebab, ear, mulled wine or grog) and warm blankets.
And when you do not eat, Do not stand, but move: lead dances around the tree, play snowballs, sculpt snowmen. When you are tired, you can sing with a guitar (if the company has a guitarist, and the weather is not too cold).
Having met the New Year in nature with champagne and Bengal lights, it's better to move to the house gradually: spend the whole night on the street - not the best solution. Again, if you want a drink, do it better indoors. Do not forget to take to the house products and in general everything that on the street to leave it would not be desirable. Protopit premises are in advance.
And the first of January, after a good sleep, you can play outdoor outdoor games: leave with snowballs, go skiing or sledding, arrange an assault on a snow fortress, and even just walk around the neighborhood and get some fresh air.
New Year in nature - an excellent alternative to the usual feast, the main thing is to take care of all the small things in advance, so that nothing will mar your holiday.
