Where to celebrate the New Year of the Goat (Sheep)?

Traditional statements that the New Year is a purely family holiday in today's realities have changed. Yes, indeed, often a large family gathers at the New Year's table - parents, children and the older generation. But more and more often a young couple who have recently become a "social unit" or their elderly parents, who have raised not only children, but also grandchildren, want to spend a festive night, and the subsequent holidays, in a different way.

There are not so many options for celebrating the New Year, they are all known and everyone chooses for himself with whom and in what place to spend the holidays. It is clear that any of the possibilities will find its admirers and antagonists, who categorically deny this particular option.

Let's consider the main pros and cons of the known options.

An excellent option for meeting the New Year of the Goat (Sheep), which, as you know, are lovers of open space and fresh air. In this case, it all depends on the comfort of the country house, because it is clear that if the house was last visited in October, then it requires a lot of effort to warm it up to reach a comfortable temperature and prepare it for receiving, if not guests, then family members … The advantages of New Year's holidays outside the city will be fresh air, clean snow and the opportunity to cook your favorite dishes on the grill.

The lack of a visa and even a passport does not stop anyone.

New Year Abroad

The well-being of citizens allows you to spend New Year's holidays away from home, in ski resorts, in hot countries or in good old Europe.

Benefits:

New impressions diversify life;

The climate is generally much milder than Russian winters;

The main condition for a successful holiday is desire and a positive attitude, even if this year you did not manage to celebrate the New Year in Paris or Rome, this is not a reason for a bad mood. Home gatherings, country sauna stories or playing snowballs in the snow-covered forests of the Moscow Region are no worse than the Alpine slopes.
