In my family accepted to prepare for the New Year in advance. We clean the apartment and get rid of old things, to release the energy of the house. Put and decorate the Christmas tree, garlands hung on the wall. Grandma asks to hang on the Christmas tree and candy tangerine - in memory of how decorated Christmas tree before. If guests come, come up with a festive program of games and competitions and prepare small prizes to each participant according to the number of guests. Usually we celebrate the New Year family - wait until the striking and make a wish. And after the morning guests come, and family holiday turns into a friendly. Under the tree we will put gifts, and another tradition of the New Year - to gather in the morning at the Christmas tree, gifts and find their happy surprise.
