I'm alone on New Year's Day. New Year alone

It is generally accepted that New Year is a family holiday. And you should meet him, if not with your family, then at least in a cheerful company. But what should those who will celebrate the New Year alone do? How to entertain yourself?

According to studies, 5% of Russians annually celebrate the New Year alone. There are several reasons for this - some people quarrel or break up with their loved ones on the eve of the holiday, others move to a new place of residence, others simply haven’t found their loved one yet, and others feel so tired that they don’t want to go anywhere or see anyone at all. How to celebrate the New Year in such situations?

If you chose the “society” option, ask yourself another question: “Am I really alone?” It is likely that you may only feel lonely because you quarreled with your boyfriend, and your close friends went abroad to celebrate and you did not have time to join them.

Your sadness is understandable. But in your social circle there will always be people who will be happy to see you. These could be parents, friends, neighbors, colleagues, virtual acquaintances, in the end. And where there is society, there is fun, and in this case, all of the methods listed below will suit you.

All options are in no way ready-made recipes, but only serve as a starting point for your creativity.

A holiday according to its own rules for those who want to be alone

If you find yourself alone on New Year's Day, it doesn't mean you're a failure. Appreciate solitude. Believe me, there are many people who would like to be alone with themselves for at least a few hours. So enjoy the opportunity, do whatever you want! We invite you to listen to some of our ideas:

Definitely, the way you always wanted! Don't skimp on yourself.
Prepare your favorite or unusual dishes or order food from a restaurant. You can find out what you can cook for the New Year with your own hands.
Stock up and watch them on New Year's Eve. Yes, and don’t forget about children’s New Year’s fairy tales: “Morozko”, “New Year’s Adventures of Masha and Vitya”, “Three Nuts for Cinderella”, “The Snow Queen”, “Twelve Months”, and you will remember the simple truth - good always triumphs over evil.
Make a wish when the clock strikes midnight. Write a letter with your best wishes to yourself and your beloved. Write about what you want to achieve in the new year, what to learn and what impressions to get, wish yourself everything that you really want for a long time, seal it and put it in a secret place, for example, in a box with the rest. And a year later, while taking out toys, you will come across a message from the past and check which of your dreams have come true.
Take some goodies with you, a glass of champagne, turn on Skype and chat with friends through a general chat. You can even celebrate the New Year on Skype, making toasts and raising glasses.
By the way, the New Year is a great opportunity to communicate with those with whom you are unfamiliar or for some reason have stopped contacting. Go to and you will be surprised how many people celebrate the New Year just like you. Perhaps some of them are lonely now and are looking for communication on the Internet. Congratulate each other, find out who celebrates the main holiday of the year and how, talk about dreams and plans. You might like to meet.
Go to bed. Why not? It is not at all necessary to wait for the New Year, to stay up late, heroically forcing yourself to watch New Year's programs. If you feel sleepy, lie down and sleep as much as you like.

A holiday for those who need company

So, if you honestly admitted to yourself that you still want to spend the holiday in a company, but were left alone on New Year’s Eve, we can recommend you the following ideas:

One for the New Year: how to celebrate?

You can go out into the world. If you feel good in the company of strangers, but find yourself alone, go to a restaurant, a nightclub, the main square, or attend another public event. Naturally, you need to take care of all this in advance - find out about interesting places and their program for New Year's Eve, if necessary - purchase tickets and choose an outfit. Don’t be afraid to communicate with people; on such a holiday they are more good-natured and open. Feel free to ask them to help you light the sparklers, uncork the champagne, take a photo of you against the backdrop of a sparkling Christmas tree, and so on. Have fun, dance, invite people to dance - universal joy unites hearts!
Create a topic on the forum: “I’m celebrating the New Year alone, who will keep me company?” The method is suitable for sociable, proactive, easy-going, easy-going people, since you may have to come up with and implement a plan for the holiday or agree to the conditions of others.
Celebrate good deeds. Buy candies, cookies, chocolate, holiday souvenirs and go out with congratulations. Give New Year's gifts to everyone - children, acquaintances and unknown adults. We think no one will refuse them. By the way, this is a good way to meet your destiny. Have you noticed a handsome man? Approach him with an open box of chocolates and offer him a treat. Just let him try not to ask you out on a date later!
On New Year's Eve, go to a grocery store - for example, one that you often visit - and congratulate all the staff. Give employees cards and small souvenirs. We guarantee that you will be remembered for a long time.
Prepare, sign, and drop cards in your neighbors' mailboxes in advance. You can even give them in person.
If you have a dog, buy her a Santa Claus costume, and dress up as the Snow Maiden yourself and go for a walk in a good mood. You are guaranteed the attention of passersby. Bring plenty of sweets, lollipops and small souvenirs - you will probably have to congratulate the spectators.
Or dress up your dog as Santa Claus and your cat as Snow Maiden and arrange a photo shoot for them. Take care of decorations and safety!

Holiday with parents

One for the New Year: how to celebrate?

Let us tell you a story on this topic:

20-year-old Tanya was firmly convinced that celebrating the New Year with her parents was childish. For several years now she had been celebrating the holiday with her boyfriend and his friends. Even though her relationship with her partner was in trouble, she insisted that she should celebrate another New Year with him. The holiday did not bring anything good - they quarreled again.

When the next morning, offended, crying and hungry, Tanya returned home, she saw her parents snoring sweetly, a refrigerator full of New Year's dishes and gifts piled for her under the tree... The girl realized that you need to celebrate the holiday with those who really need you.

Instructions

Go on a trip! Before the New Year, many travel agencies offer discounts and hot packages. A good reason to take advantage of this. A week in hot countries under palm trees – isn’t this the ultimate dream of many? Or take a unique route - go to the North Pole! Who knows, perhaps this particular trip will be the most unforgettable in your life.

If long-distance travel is a burden for you, choose a city closer. Buy tickets so that you can spend New Year's Eve on the train (by the way, there are often discounts on them too). Believe me, at this time the trains are full of interesting people, and the feeling of a universal holiday brings people together, makes them kinder and more sociable. It is unlikely that you will feel lonely and abandoned among these completely different, but cheerful people. On January 1, you will get to know a new city, walk along completely unfamiliar streets, and the very next day you will return to your cozy nest. It seems simple, but even so you will gain many new impressions.

You can spend a festive night away from home in your own city. Make sure to buy tickets to the club or reserve a table in a restaurant in advance. In such establishments, special holiday programs and competitions are held on New Year's Eve. In the midst of this general fun, you definitely won’t be bored, and who knows, maybe you’ll meet some very interesting people there.

Or, as a last resort, after the chimes go for a walk in the city center. Look at the people, rejoice with them, dance in circles and let off fireworks to the joy of everyone around you. Sometimes, even just on the street, you can meet an interesting company and unplannedly walk with them until the morning.

Don’t think that fate only left you alone on such a joyful holiday. In fact, according to statistics, approximately 3% of people celebrate the New Year alone. And among them there are many who use the Internet. Go online, look for forums, chats and Skype conferences where people like you have gathered. It’s a pleasure to uncork a bottle of champagne and listen to the president’s speech in any company, even if it’s on the other side of the screen.

If no one is physically nearby, this does not mean that there is no one to remember you and no one loves you. Open your address book and call your family and friends. Perhaps among them there are people with whom you have not communicated for a very long time. A good reason to call, congratulate, say good words to them - and I am absolutely sure that you will hear just as many pleasant words in response. I think it's a great start to the New Year!

If you are lucky enough to be alone on New Year's Eve, take full advantage of it. Firstly, it’s immediately clear that you won’t have to prepare so much food that the tables collapse. Treat yourself only to the most delicious things, choose the champagne that pleases you the most, and spend the free time on yourself. Go to the spa, bathhouse, massage, get yourself a manicure and pedicure, stunning makeup and amazing hairstyle. Go shopping in search of the most beautiful dress in the world. Feel like a queen on this holiday! However, similar advice is also suitable for men, because they also have something to please themselves and how to take care of themselves.

You have a whole night, and possibly a whole week of holidays ahead of you. Give yourself a real weekend. Stock up on snacks, a warm blanket and a list of movies you've been wanting to watch. Or books you wanted to read. Or things that you have been wanting to do for a long time.

And finally, what would a New Year be without summing up results and making plans? You can even dedicate New Year's Eve to this. Dream or immediately plan everything you would like to achieve in the new year. Make plans, schedule tasks, deadlines. Decide where to start and at what pace to move forward. You can visualize, make collages, create a video about your dream. You have the whole night ahead of you!

People who respect family traditions and lovers of noisy companies will certainly sympathize with solitude on New Year's Eve. Although, if you think about it, “active preparations” and “stormy meetings” are so tiring for the nervous system and for the whole body that, perhaps, celebrating the New Year alone is the very best option that you have been thinking about all these last weeks .

We have collected 5 proven life hacks that will help you properly (and fun) celebrate the main night of the year in a small but proud company of yourself.

Dress up for yourself (and not as expected)

But don’t forget about the holiday atmosphere - experiment with your look and be sure to dress up. Have you ever wanted to try on a tuxedo on your naked body? Or try a purple lipstick shade? On this night you will be able to allow yourself anything: after all, there is a festive occasion, and, fortunately for you, there will be no all kinds of critics and hypocrites.

There is also a belief that the New Year should be celebrated in everything new. Why not go shopping on the eve of the holiday?

“Alone” does not mean “alone”

There is no concept of “New Year alone” - we live in a world of new technologies and global networks. If on New Year's Eve your loved ones are far away, and your friends have flown to the islands, then you can always call them or write a message on Facebook. No, we are by no means calling on all single people to sit at the computer or with a smartphone in their hands on New Year’s Day - but still, you shouldn’t isolate yourself within four walls.

If you have a desire to go out, then do not deny yourself this. After the president's ceremonial speech, you can go to a party (an alternative would be a walk around the city center or in your favorite area). Take a phone book and call people with whom you were friends 5-10 years ago. It is quite possible that you will be gladly invited to their holiday table. You can also open the Internet and see which clubs and cafes offer a New Year's entertainment show program.

And if you are not one of those who like to party, pour tea or coffee (or better yet, mulled wine) into a thermos, put on your favorite suit or dress, stock up on firecrackers and sparklers - and go to the city Christmas tree in the park and join the fun crowd. You definitely won’t feel alone among the celebrating people.

Reflect

And the New Year holidays are a great time for... writing memoirs. Savor the most memorable moments of your life, and also tense up and remember what could decorate the novel of Lev Nikolaevich himself. Maybe this New Year's Eve will be the start of your writing career.

Enjoy peace of mind

You should always remember the golden rule - “everything that is done is done for the better.” Buy your favorite drink, cook a couple of your favorite dishes (or order delivery from a decent restaurant) and do what you love. Maybe you haven't looked at your stamp collection or sorted through photographs for a long time? Has someone for a long time not picked up a guitar (violin, flute), sat down at the piano (drum kit), painted, or created? Or did you not have time to read the book that your friends recommended and watch the acclaimed film?

In general, the idea of devoting New Year's Eve (and all the remaining holidays) to cinema seems to us one of the best options, because this is a unique opportunity not to miss the long-awaited program and watch all your favorite films. Just imagine: no one will interfere with enjoying your favorite episode, no one will put on Olivier while watching a romantic scene, when you really want to relive the climax of your favorite comedy. Beauty.

Leave

If you haven't been on vacation for a long time, why not combine your long-awaited vacation with the New Year holidays? Whether it will be a tropical island or Europe imbued with the Christmas atmosphere is up to you. Many people prefer to explore new countries alone, and if you are one of them, then this New Year’s Eve scenario is just for you.

The New Year alone with yourself does not have to be sad and dull. Only you can take care of the festive mood, so don’t let circumstances ruin the whole holiday!

Are you going to celebrate the New Year alone? First of all, don't be discouraged and don't think that your case is an exception. It turns out that not so few people are left alone on New Year's Eve. Some live far from relatives and friends, some have to go on a business trip, some have a difficult personal life. Whatever the reason for your loneliness, do not despair. Better figure out how to make the holiday a worthy start to the new year.

Alone at home on New Year's Eve

If you want to spend New Year's Eve at home, there is nothing wrong with that. Of course, you can put on a dressing gown and overeat with chocolate while listening to tearful melodrama. Even worse is to overdo it with alcohol, call those responsible for your loneliness and express everything you think about them. Perhaps such a New Year will become a psychological release, but then you will be ashamed. Let's not forget that when you meet a new

you'll spend a year like that. We assure you that you can organize a most pleasant evening at home, even if it is not a noisy party, but a quiet holiday just for you. But in the morning you will wake up without a headache.

It is worth preparing for the New Year's Eve in advance. Go shopping, buy yourself a gift that you will open at exactly 12. Don't forget about your favorite goodies. This night you will not be able to deny yourself anything. Think about your holiday outfit: you don’t have to spend money on an evening dress or suit, but you can, for example, buy luxurious pajamas.

A few hours before the New Year, prepare everything you need for the holiday table and take a relaxing bath with essential oils or foam while listening to pleasant music. If you want a little romance, light a candle and drink a glass of champagne.

In the evening, think about who you would like to please and congratulate. Call your relatives and friends, tell them kind words. When you make other people happy, your mood also improves.
