Event progress

There is a decorated Christmas tree in the hall, New Year's music sounds. Everyone is waiting for the arrival of Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden.

Leading: It's coming soon New Year, but Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden for some reason are delayed, and without them the Christmas tree does not burn, and there will be no holiday.

Phone call.

Leading:

We have all gathered and are waiting only for you.

Didn't understand what happened? Where are you?

Okay, we're coming to your rescue right now.

Leading: Guys, now we will go on a journey through the fairy forest in order to help Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden stuck in a snowdrift. And with them they asked to bring everyone who we meet and bring what we manage to win along the way. What it is, I don't know yet.

And to make it more fun for us to go, he asked loudly and in chorus to say these words:

We go, we go, we go, and we will find the Snow Maiden!

Everyone gets dressed and goes outside.

(The route is thought out in advance. Heroes, in the role of parents, are in their places).

Baba Yaga jumps out from around the corner.

Baba Yaga:"Who's screaming here? Who is it that does not give me peace of mind?”

The host, together with the guys, explains to the old woman that they are going to help Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden out of trouble.

Baba Yaga: I will show you the way, if only you invite me to your holiday, and complete my tasks.

Baba Yaga conducts the game "Flying on a broomstick" with the guys.

For this game you will need 2 brooms with a long handle, 1 bucket (it contains unbreakable Christmas decorations). The task of the players, holding the broom between their legs, run to the bucket, take the toy and come back. Whose team finishes the relay faster, she won. The winning team takes the toys with them. After the game is over, Baba Yaga shows the way to Santa Claus and goes along with the guys.

The host asks the guys to stomp and shout in unison:

“We are going, we are going, we are going, we will find Santa Claus!

Baba Yaga: Oh, guys, let's be quiet now, otherwise we are approaching Koshcheev's kingdom.

Koschey the Deathless sits on a tree.

Koschei: Who dared to disturb my peace, who is screaming in my mighty Koshcheev kingdom?

Baba Yaga: The guys are looking for Santa Claus, and the most short cut to his tower lies, through your kingdom.

Koschey: I didn’t let anyone through my Kingdom just like that, and I won’t let anyone through! Only the one who can defeat me will pass. Does anyone of you know how to do this?

Children: Taking the needle out of the egg and breaking it.

Koschey: Right. Now I'll see who we have the luckiest. Let's have a contest now "Who is cooler".

Koschey holds a competition "Who is cooler."

Each team has 5 players. There are 10 eggs on a tray (all eggs are hard-boiled). Each contestant takes 1 egg. Koschey warns that all eggs are boiled, only one is real, "with a needle inside." At the command of Koshchei, all children must break the egg on their foreheads. Each team (if there are no refused ones) receives New Year's tinsel.

After the competition is over, Koschey releases the guys, and they go on, shouting:

“We are going, we are going, we are going, we will find Santa Claus!
We go, we go, we go, and we will find the Snow Maiden!

Dunno goes towards the children and cries.

Leading: Boy are you lost? Did someone offend you?

Dunno: No. I myself was offended by everyone and left, because shorties from the Flower City do not take me with them to the New Year's KVN. They say that I know nothing and that I am of little use. Well, at least someone helped me.

Leading: How about helping?

Dunno: Well, answer this question, for example, who ordered to celebrate the New Year in Russia with Christmas trees, festivities on January 1? ( Peter 1)

Which month was named after the two-faced Janus, whose head looks backwards and the other forwards? ( January)

What title did the city of Vladimir receive in 2014, associated with the New Year holiday? ( New Year's capital of Russia)

What are the names of Santa Claus' relatives? ( Santa Claus, Per Noel, Nicholas, Ded Jara, Yollopukki, Vasily)

Leading: Dunno, come with us. We are going to rescue Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden. They will tell you everything about their relatives now.

Dunno: Can i? With pleasure.

Children scream loudly

“We are going, we are going, we are going, we will find Santa Claus!
We go, we go, we go, and we will find the Snow Maiden!

Goblin: Oh, what's the news here? Who allowed? Who allowed? Who are you? Who called you here? Now, pack your belongings and get out of here! What are you staring at? Who are they - answer, why did they gather in my forest? What organization will you be from?

Children: From school .

Goblin: Haven't heard of this one. Come on, amuse grandfather, tell us what your organization does, and what does it do to people that are harmful?

Children: Children are taught in school.

Kikimora: What do they teach you there?

Children: Mathematics, languages...

Kikimora: Fi, how boring! Do they teach you to sing there?

Children: Yes.

Kikimora: Brother, let them sing to us, and we will miss them longer.

Goblin: Okay, have some fun. But sing songs about winter or about a holiday.

The competition "Winter melodies" is held.

Teams take turns singing songs. The winning team is awarded a Christmas tree shower.

Kikimora: Or maybe you will dance for us?

Children dance to incendiary music.

Leading: Goblin, Kikimora, and you send with us.

Kikimora: I don't mind.

Goblin: And I'm completely unoccupied until spring. Come on, sister.

Everyone is shouting loudly:

“We are going, we are going, we are going, we will find Santa Claus!
We go, we go, we go, and we will find the Snow Maiden!

Little Red Riding Hood is walking towards the children (she has a basket of pies in her hands).

Little Red Riding Hood: Guys, I met Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden in the forest. Santa Claus is completely exhausted, and the Snow Maiden alone cannot carry so many gifts. I will take you to them, but only after you help me.

Little Red Riding Hood holds a Pie Eater contest.

A pie is given to 1 participant from each team. The task of the participants is to eat the pie faster than the opponent. The winner in each pair receives 1 New Year's toy.

When all the guys sang and danced, Little Red Riding Hood showed them the way to Santa Claus.

Everyone is shouting loudly:

“We are going, we are going, we are going, we will find Santa Claus!
We go, we go, we go, and we will find the Snow Maiden!

Father Frost: Hello kids! We've been waiting for you. Our sleigh broke down. To make it easier to lead them, we will give you gifts here. But first, the forest dwellers must be helped to arrange a holiday. Did you bring with you what you won? Then let's decorate the Christmas tree in this clearing.

Children decorate a Christmas tree in the forest and sing the song "A Christmas tree was born in the forest."

Everyone goes to school together with songs, and the celebration continues in the hall.

Until happy, good meetings!

If you do not want to celebrate the New Year within four walls, if you have like-minded people who are ready to leave a warm apartment on holiday, then the New Year spent in nature is right choice. There are several options for doing what you want to do. You can go by car to a pre-selected place. If the treasured lawn is not far away, go skiing there. You can go to the country and organize a holiday in the yard near a live Christmas tree.

Or build some kind of ice castle in the yard with fabulous figures made of ice. Put in a little effort and your dream will come true! But first you need to notify your friends about it.

Invitation

Invitations can be made in the form of a Christmas tree or forest animals (hares, bears, etc.) or written on postcards depicting winter forest landscapes. The text might be:

At the edge of the forest
Winter lives in a hut.
Take your girlfriend
And go to the forest!

Today in that hut
Or maybe on the edge
We are celebrating the New Year.
There will be a night of miracles!

If you are organizing a New Year for children, invitations can be as follows:

The little Christmas tree is calling you,
So that everyone gets up together in a friendly round dance.
Santa Claus at the Christmas tree is waiting for all the kids.
New Year is on the way! He will bring friends.

Venue for New Year's Eve

After sending out invitations, start equipping the place. First, you will need a table (wooden, folding or even ice) and chairs (benches, stumps, portable folding chairs). Secondly, you have to take care of the wood. This is not only a source of heat and light, but also an opportunity to cook festive dishes. Good to have and additional source light (lantern, kerosene lamp). Thirdly, choose a live Christmas tree that you will decorate.

If you decide to celebrate the New Year in nature with your children, think about who will dress up as Santa Claus, Snegurochka, Blizzard, who will be in charge of the table, who will act as a host, etc. Costumes for Father Frost and Snow Maiden are traditional. The Blizzard costume can be made from a white sheet, in the center of which a hole is made for the head, the edges of the sheet are cut with wedges and snowflakes, rain and sparkles are sewn onto them.

You can wear a downy white scarf or a white knitted hat decorated with sparkles on your head. Naturally, you will start celebrating the New Year with children not at night, but in the evening. Please note that it is better not to take children far from home: when they are tired, they will cause you a lot of trouble. Care must be taken that the children are warmly dressed, but it must be taken into account that they will be actively moving. They should be warm, but not hot. If your child does not feel well, it is better to refuse to go to the forest and celebrate the New Year at home.

Get ready for the New Year's holiday not in secret from the child, but with him: let him help you. Entrust the children with an important task - to make decorations for the Christmas tree with their own hands. And one more piece of advice: children still believe in a fairy tale, in Santa Claus, in extraordinary transformations - so create an atmosphere of mystery and magic for them! After you have prepared a place for the New Year's celebration, you can think about the scenario of the holiday.

Scenario "New Year with children"

On the evening of December 31, when everyone is already ready to celebrate the New Year, find in the mailbox or near the door a New Year's message to the children from the Christmas tree:

I invite kids
Visit me in the forest.

Santa Claus is with me
He brought gifts!

There will be a friendly round dance.
Let's celebrate the New Year together!

Leader (one of the parents). Everyone is here? Let's go to the place! The tree is waiting for us.

Not bad if spruce branches or cones laid out in the form of arrows will indicate the path to the clearing. Then the leader can tell the children that you are following the trail that the Christmas tree left us. Somewhere in the middle of the way you can hold a quiz.

Game "Bewitched"

Children scatter across the clearing, and Blizzard catches up with them and "bewitches". She can freeze everyone, and then after that, to get the letter, the children complete her task. If it is not possible to catch up with everyone, then the “bewitched” will perform the task and only after that they will receive a letter. Task examples:

Draw a boiling kettle.

Picture melting ice cream.

Draw a burning Christmas tree.

Draw a broom.

Draw an inflating balloon.

Draw a blooming flower.

Snowstorm. Oh oh oh. Oh-oh-oh (Shakes his head). What is it with me?

You spun granny (falls from fatigue or sits in a snowdrift)! I'm dying, lyuli-lyuli.

Snow Maiden (Helps her up). What are you, Blizzard, everything is in order, This is necessary for charging! Did the guys deserve a letter?

Snowstorm. Those who have been enchanted will come to me now. Here are the tasks for you!

He takes out cards with tasks from his pocket, and the children take turns completing them.

Snowstorm. We coped with the task, friends, and I will open the letter for you (gives the third letter - “3”). In the meantime, I'm resting, let Santa Claus play with you.

The game "Snowmen - Snowballs"

Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden are stretching a long rope. Children are divided into two teams - "Snowmen" and "Snowballs", get up through one and grab the rope with both hands. When Santa Claus says: “Snow-e-e-goofs!”, the guys from this team must let go of the rope and jump away from it, and the rivals must catch them by the hands. When Santa Claus says: “Snow!”, Everything happens the other way around. Caught players are out of the game. The game is repeated several times.

Snowstorm. What kids have gathered! I won't be evil anymore. Now you have to help. I'll open a letter for you!

Gives the fourth letter - "O".

Father Frost. On the pine tree, I see the bewitched shield hanging. You must hit ten times! The shield will give us a letter.

Contest "Sharpshooters"

Children, together with Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden, run to a tree, on which hangs a round plywood shield with a snowflake depicted on it, fixed in such a way that it can be turned reverse side. From a certain distance, children try to hit the target with snowballs. After ten hits, the Snow Maiden turns the shield, and the children see the last letter on it - "M". Then they all return together to the Christmas tree, where the Blizzard is waiting for them.

Snowstorm. Well, how are you doing? Did you get the last letter?

Children. Yes!

Snowstorm. And what is the magic word you put together?

Children. Freezing!

Father Frost. Now, dear Blizzard, we would like to know where the bag with gifts for children is?

Snowstorm. Dear children, trouble happened, I chained the bag with gifts to the Christmas tree, but I forgot which key opens the lock! Maybe you can find the right one?

Competition "Magic Key"

From the bunch of keys, you need to choose one key that will open the lock.

Snow Maiden. Hurray, a miracle happened! We found gifts. Now let's say together: "One, two, three!".

Santa Claus takes a bag of gifts, opens it to the count "one, two, three" and gives everyone a long-awaited gift.

Father Frost. Today we have a happy holiday. Isn't it time to start dancing? Come on, Blizzard, go and dance! Your boots are good.

It sounds like a fun Christmas song. The blizzard involves children, Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden in the dance. After the dance, all satisfied and happy go to the festive table. The holiday ends with fireworks and crackers. After that, the children go home to sleep, and the parents can continue the holiday.

Hello dear friends! Happy New Year!

The topic of my post today: winter holidays Outdoors. Although the climate in our region is not very conducive to year-round tourism, many lovers active rest The onset of cold weather does not scare. Warm clothes, shoes and winter equipment are taken out of the wardrobes.

Of course, the peak of the winter season is the New Year, and today I want to tell about this holiday through the eyes of a tourist. Maybe with my story I will be able to inspire someone or throw a couple of ideas. You may object that I am sharing my experience late: it is January, and there is still a lot of time until the next New Year, but let me object. Organize and spend half the night in winter forest by the fire is not an easy task. And there should not be "punctures". You don't want to ruin your holiday if something goes wrong, do you? So it takes time to think things over, prepare and maybe practice. Here's some food for thought and a quick guide.

I myself met the New Year in the forest twice, and I remember these years very vividly. When I was first offered to go to a frosty damp forest, with its blue-gray twilight and snowdrifts above the knee, instead of a festive table in an apartment, a TV with congratulations from the president, the comfort and warmth of a home, I questioned the very idea. Well, what kind of festive mood can there be in the forest by the fire? And in general, from childhood I liked this magical transition of times: from the old to the new. Chiming clock. What about in the forest? Silence, the creak of snow under the sole of the boot, and occasional snow caps falling off the branches, gently and without a trace settling in a snowdrift. But now it is the New Year's forest that seems to me the most magical and desirable.

So, if you're ready to take the risk and change your New Year's habits, let's get down to planning.

Start by choosing a company. There should not be too many people so that the popular expression “who goes to the forest, who goes to the firewood” does not become a reality, but not too few so that the distributed duties (and in the forest there is something for everyone to do) are not a burden. The most optimal - 8-10 people.

Second important point is the choice of location. For the first time, the best option would be to celebrate the New Year in nature, and go to sleep and relax in the house or apartment of one of the participants in the celebration. Therefore, a forest clearing should be chosen near locality, within half an hour walk. It could be suburban village or a residential area near a forest.

It is very important to look after a secluded clearing in advance, to scout the way so that on New Year's Eve you do not get lost in the dark. It will be better if your clearing is located in the depths of the forest belt, so that you "at the light", in a direct and figurative sense, walking and celebrating did not visit.

Also, in advance, on the eve or in the morning, this clearing is cleared of snow, a place for a fire is prepared (but not in a lowland, otherwise there will be a puddle!), Firewood is harvested. It is quite capable of two or three men. Don't forget to arm yourself with a thermos of hot tea, because there is no fire yet!

Don't be stingy with wood. The bonfire should be festive. You can dump dry wood. This is not prohibited by law. For a winter fire, two trunks about 20 centimeters in diameter are enough, sawn into logs half a meter long. Conifers are preferred. Perfect pine. Spruce is good, but beware of spruce sparks! And remember, never, please, never harvest birch as firewood for a winter fire! There is very little flame from it. Also, do not be seduced by already fallen and snow-covered trees. Firewood from them is useless.

Everyone goes to the celebration itself at eight or nine in the evening, so that the food is ready by midnight, and if something doesn’t work out, one could always return to the warmth of the home and celebrate the New Year at home.

The next item is food. Of course, it will not be possible to set a festive table in the forest, but you can think of something. The idea is that there is no table as such. At best, you can tamp the snowdrift to put everything you brought with you on it. Everyone will eat from a plate, holding it in their hands. This point must be taken into account when choosing dishes. The best option: cook everything at home, and warm it up on a fire in the forest if necessary. The meat can be divided into portions and wrapped in foil so that it is convenient to heat over a fire, make stewed vegetables in a large saucepan. I remember once we cooked dumplings. It worked out very well.

In any case, for everything to go like clockwork, you need to practice. Make and maintain a fire, heat up and cook food on fire, and in general, check your feelings: do you like to spend a few hours in a frosty forest.

Another interesting pastime in nature are competitions and quizzes. This is what I usually did. Entertainment was divided into two parts. It all started in the forest by the fire and ended in the apartment with summing up and presenting gifts. I remember that in one of the competitions I invited the participants to put the letters correctly in the name of the world famous Icelandic volcano Eyyafyatlayokudl. The warm forest company is well complemented by a guitar.

But no matter what the competitions and the preparation of the celebration, the main thing is the people who surround you. When you sit in a warm circle of light, and around, as many eyes as possible, snowdrifts and tree trunks, the whole world narrows down to this small space. You look at the people next to you, and you understand that this is your life. Here and now. You have two feelings. On the one hand, this is the power and grandeur of nature, against which a person with his problems is less than a grain of sand, and on the other hand, a sense of the grandeur and triumph of life. It is in the bosom of nature that you understand what is true and how much.

The proposal to celebrate the New Year outside the city, in nature, at times, causes bewildered exclamations. How can such a holiday be held in the cold, far from a warm cozy home with a decorated Christmas tree, a burning fireplace and sparkling cold champagne?

Stop. Options country rest on new year holidays there are many. And it is not necessary to shiver from the cold in a dense forest in a tent. The Zatusim resource will tell you how to celebrate the New Year outside the city so that a sea of ​​\u200b\u200bimpressions remains without negative consequences.

New Year's Eve in nature is a great alternative to the traditional celebration in a bustling city, where many do not even go out into the fresh air on a festive night. And all vacations are spent with the remote control from the TV or at the computer.

Why not escape from the stone embrace, forget about the achievements of civilization for a while and spend the holidays away from the hustle, bustle and modern gadgets.

Incredibly lucky are those who have their own country house, equipped for winter housing. Spending the New Year outside the city with children in such a house is a great opportunity not only to relax, have fun, but also improve your health.

After all, you can celebrate the New Year in a magical forest, and devote the next days to sledding, skiing, and playing snowballs.

Definitely, you will have to prepare for such a holiday in advance. Check the condition of the house, prepare firewood for heating or check how the heating equipment works.

It doesn't hurt to know. Moreover, you can decorate not only the rooms inside, but also the house itself, the garden outside.

The celebration of the New Year at the dacha, adapted for winter living, can take place directly in the house, followed by a walk through the snowy forest.

Someone will say why then go out of town if you celebrate the holiday indoors.

But in the house you can only raise your glasses to the chiming clock, and then go out into the garden to start fireworks, play snowballs.

This option is ideal for families with infants, for older couples, for people with certain health problems. After all, for them it is a great option to enjoy the suburban New Year.

And the very next day you can go for a leisurely walk to get some air and admire the beauty of the fairy forest.

Pictures of nature for the New Year

Take your camera for a walk to take pictures. great views nature. And of course a thermos with warm tea.

New Year at the cottage with the company: ideas for a successful holiday

It is best to meet the New Year with a bang with a company in nature. The main thing is to find a house outside the city or any cottage. Even if there is no heating there, this is not the main thing for a good pastime. But you still have to adhere to certain rules so that nothing can overshadow the holiday.

Preparing the cottage for the celebration

A country house in the forest for the New Year must be prepared in advance. At a minimum, it is necessary to put things in order.

Before the holiday, it will not be too fun for guests to rake up the rubble, wipe the dust and wash the floors. Think about where to seat the guests.

It doesn't have to be a shared dining table. But, at a minimum, it is necessary to provide places where guests can sit with plates.

You need to think about sleeping places if you plan to stay in the country with an overnight stay. Check for warm blankets and pillows.

An important issue is heating. If the house is not heated, and there is no fireplace, you will have to stock up on heaters. Moreover, it is necessary to heat the building not at the time of arrival, but in advance. Therefore, someone from the company must come to the dacha in the morning to provide heat in the house.

An audit should also be carried out regarding the equipment of the place in nature. Check the availability of barbecue, skewers, firewood, an ax. Think about where you will lay out products in nature. You may need a portable table if there is no fixed gazebo.

Put all the missing things on the list so that you don’t forget anything when packing.

Products, menu, cooking

Be sure to make a menu for the New Year, taking into account the number of people in the company. This is exactly the case when it is better to take products with a margin.

First, on fresh air, after outdoor games, those present will definitely have an appetite. Secondly, there will simply be no opportunity to find the missing drinks or food at night in the village.

And do not forget that alcohol, which will be drunk, needs a good snack.

Prepare some of the appetizers and preparations for salads at home. Why waste a lot of precious time cooking.

But hot dishes are best prepared on the spot. But consider if there are opportunities for this.

If you pickled a goose to cook it with apples, then find out if there is an oven in the country. Definitely, such a bird can also be baked on a spit, but this will already be an improvisation.

Best in nature. By the way, even in the absence of a barbecue, it is easy to make a homemade stand for skewers. It is also better to marinate meat in advance at home. When transported in winter, it will not have time to deteriorate.

They go great as appetizers. But from the frills that require long cooking and special utensils, it is better to refuse.

If you don’t want to bother with cooking in nature, order ready-made meals in a restaurant. Another option is to order food sets through websites that offer ready-made holiday menus.

If you plan to continue the holiday in the house, consider the second menu option. So that you can quickly set a buffet or festive table.

Serving a table with the remains of half-eaten food on the street is not a very good idea.

Necessary little things

It is the lack of necessary household items that can overshadow a fun holiday or create certain difficulties. Bring utensils with you if necessary.

And even if the cottage is equipped with a kitchen, disposable plates and cups should not be abandoned.

It will take toilet paper, paper and linen towels, garbage bags, napkins. Warm blankets and thermoses will not interfere.

If you have not decorated the house in advance, take tinsel, garlands, toys. Only toys should not be glass, but rag, their felt, paper. Guests will be happy to decorate the house and garden.

For competitions, prepare prizes by getting acquainted with for participating in entertainment.

Take sparklers, fireworks. But be sure to remember the safety precautions.

The first aid kit is not worth mentioning. It is mandatory in equipment. Remember in new year's eve help outside the city, in which case, you will have to wait a long time.

Transport

The ideal option is to get to the country house all together. But if friends will each their own way, make sure they know for sure end point route. It’s good to know exactly how guests will get there, by what transport, on what roads, paths. Indicate the time of collection, specify how to contact them.

In case of unforeseen situations, you should be aware of where your friends are and if they need help.

Remember, suburban forest recreation dictates its own conditions, and it is dangerous to neglect safety.

House at the recreation center

For those who are not lucky enough to have their own country house, but really want to go to nature, it is better to rent a house at a recreation center.

Now there are many offers for short-term rental of cottages. Or, as the most cheap option, rent a house in the village with some grandmother.

By the way, many teams prefer to celebrate the corporate New Year outside the city in rented housing with all the conditions.

Most of the houses for rent are already ready for the celebration of the New Year. Sleeping places are provided here, the territory is decorated, there are equipped places in nature for a winter picnic.

Some even offer the organization of a New Year's banquet. But such holidays are more like standard events in city restaurants.

Keep in mind that it will not be possible to bring all the necessary things to the rented house in advance, the products will not work.

Therefore, the preparation of a preparation plan and a list of necessary things will have to be approached with even greater scrupulousness. Ask what winter activities are offered at the base. Skis or skates, other sports equipment may come in handy.

New Year in the forest - a romantic night or an unjustified risk

Only a few will decide to celebrate the New Year in the forest. It's one thing if, being in country house, go to the forest thicket to uncork a bottle of champagne under the Christmas tree directly at 12 at night, and then return to housing.

And it is completely different when people purposefully go to the deep forest to celebrate the New Year. However, this Spartan version may also appeal to someone.

Far from civilization, amenities, warmth, you can feel unity with nature and have a great time by the fire.

The main thing here is warm comfortable clothes, a hot dinner cooked on a fire, and thoughtful retreat routes.

Why do we call our forest party extreme? Because not everyone will be able to take a real step, an act with a capital P - get off the couch, tear yourself away from the TV, abandon the comfortable greenhouse temperature of your home at +22 degrees and go on improvised means of transportation wherever your eyes look. In our case - to the thicket of the forest, to meet the New Year among the winds and snow. Although, as experienced testify, once you see this pristine beauty, you will strive for it for the rest of your life. So, we propose our coordinating action plan for organizing an extreme New Year, and you decide whether to make an Act, or live one more year with bamboo in an indoor botanical garden!

PREPARING FOR THE NEW YEAR'S PARTY IN THE FOREST

Looking for a place, transport, shelter

We started planning regular holidays by determining the actual number of guests and preparing invitations. With an extreme forest party, things are a little more complicated. First of all, it is worth studying in more detail the map of the surroundings surrounding your city. Is there any more or less decent forest for the Deed within a radius of 100 km? If you find one, hurry up to get acquainted with the forester and ask him to give the go-ahead to hold your holiday in his lands. The legislation of our country obliges to report on the holding of "mass events in order to save from pollution environment". At the same time, the forester can also find out if there is somewhere nearby a secluded, colorful “green” campsite for guests who are fed up with the bustle of the city. Now there are many such castles for tourists being built, so we give almost 100% chance that you will be lucky.

Before booking campsites, ask if they have a sauna? On the first of January (or even on the eve of the New Year, according to the old Russian tradition generated by the famous film), go to the bathhouse with your friends! Both the body and the soul will be delighted with such a pre-holiday course!

Further. Transport. Think about how and how you will get to the place of the holiday. Car, helicopter or snowmobile? Joke, of course. Although, the type of transport depends, first of all, on the number of your guests and the degree of their physical readiness for extreme sports. In addition, ask if there is a covered parking lot on the campsite where you could leave your car, or the same snowmobile?

Well, all organizational issues have been resolved, you can start inviting guests who are not indifferent to extreme sports and who are dear to your heart.

Invitations for a New Year's party in the forest

With invitation cards, you should not "philosophize slyly." A New Year's Eve party in the woods gets rid of all conventions and gives you "permission" to invite guests over the phone. This option is also more convenient because in a live dialogue it is easier to discuss all the nuances regarding the configuration of a New Year's hiking backpack, uniforms and food rations (including what is measured in liters?).

But still, if you are prone to sentimentality, and are not going, even when preparing an extreme party, to change the established "postcard" traditions, send out official invitations. Here are some very symbolic, "forest" options.

A simple invitation card made on the basis of two types of cardboard - white and green, decorated with buttons (Christmas decorations), ribbons (symbol of the holiday) and silver sparkles (symbol of real frost).

More difficult work. But, nevertheless, all lovers of beauty, who have a few extra hours in reserve, can please their friends with such beauty. All you need is white cardboard (base), gray wrapping paper for household appliances(Christmas trees), beads, finishing sewing braid, bow and foam balls - for decoration.

Well, the names of volunteers who are ready to share with you all the difficulties and joys of the difficult New Year's roads have been found and inscribed in red letters on the map of preparation for the holiday. It's time to hurry to the real forest for the Christmas tree (not to the market, mind you, but to the forest)!

True, for the first time this year we will not chop down a flattering beauty! Let's just prepare her a luxurious New Year's outfit, she, after all, is the queen of the ball!

Forest party decor

Christmas tree. For a forest party, you will need to decorate two whole trees. After all, according to the plan, you meet the arrival of the New Year in the forest, and then you go to celebrate in a more comfortable environment - the forester's house.

So when planning your Christmas decor, bring a little more Christmas tree decorations with you. Here are a few options for fun crafts that will perfectly harmonize with the forest, natural atmosphere.

And here is the beauty herself, already ready to meet guests!

Now - a little about the decor hunting lodge.

The Christmas tree is also worth setting up here. And - decorate all together, immediately upon arrival.

In a hunting lodge, it is important not to overdo it with New Year's decor. Rather, with modern tinsel. Try to choose something suitable, made from natural materials. A few hints:

- ladder decorate with a garland of fir branches with live cones, casually tying it with a wide red ribbon.

- Candles. The house should have a lot of living light. Have you ever noticed that as soon as you light candles, a fabulous, magical feeling arises in your soul? Place simple candlesticks in the most incredible places and get a stream of true New Year's light!

-Decorate windows. Against the background of natural wood and stone of a hunting lodge, simple shiny red balls suspended from the cornice with ribbons at different heights will look very beautiful.

- Pumpkins, cones, dry leaves and flowers. Make compositions from these materials, and you will see how a modest “male” house will instantly turn into a cozy temporary home for all guests.

- A bit of entourage for permanent residents. Surely there are a couple of hunting trophies in the house: deer antlers, a stuffed bear, etc. Or maybe the house will simply be decorated with wooden figurines of forest dwellers? Give them a little New Year's mood by decorating with ribbons and toys.

- A gift to a hospitable host. Any person likes attention. And if this attention is provided by completely strangers - even more so. Give the owner of the house such an unusual chandelier! And maybe next year he will give you a good discount!

It doesn’t hurt to add a little forest charm to the festive feast. Decorate it with such lively and original compositions from fir branches and balls.

I repeat, all this is necessary only if the owners of the house you rented for the party did not take care of the New Year's decor in advance. If you did take care of it, then you will only need to take decorations for the Christmas tree with you into the thicket of the forest, where you are going to dance on New Year's Eve.

New Year's Party Costumes

The best outfit in the forest would be a ski suit. And to him - a warm hat and thermal boots. You can decorate all this (to put it mildly, not festive, but vital uniforms), for example, with threads of bright rain.

Although, having met the arrival of the New Year in this form, it will be possible to change into more festive, and even carnival, costumes.

If you are taking children with you, it is worth taking care of fancy dress for them! For them, after all, this holiday is magical, which means that they should meet it in the proper form!

Other useful things

On a forest trip, you should take with you: several sleeping bags, a set of change of clothes, a flashlight, food, a first aid kit, a music player and speakers. Yes, just in case!

HOLIDAY PROCESS

From the very beginning I will make a reservation: we celebrated the New Year in the forest for 2 days - December 31 - January 1. Therefore, I give you good instruction New Year's leisure, tested on yourself and your friends!

31 DECEMBER

Just before the New Year, we parked at the “destination” somewhere for lunch. And they immediately went to look for the Christmas tree chosen the day before to decorate it.

Oh, and have fun dressing her up! It's not an easy job, I can tell you! The wind continually strove to disrupt the rain and break the balls, the garland refused to work from a car battery ... But, in the end, when it was already completely dark, for a long time we could not take our eyes off the most delightful New Year's tree that we had ever seen!

And then, while our girls were laying the festive table, we went with friends to check the quality of the New Year's steam in the bathhouse!

And, to be honest, we were so carried away that we almost missed the New Year! They ran to our forest Christmas tree at about 12, they managed to open the champagne!

True, unfortunately (or fortunately) the President's New Year's address to the people was not heard here, we did not take a portable TV with us?

Having saluted the newcomer, we returned to the house, to the festive feast and entertainment.
