2013 is just around the corner! How to celebrate the New Year alone, alone - to celebrate the New Year alone?
On New Year's Eve there is only talk: how and with whom to celebrate the celebration.
It doesn’t even occur to some that they can celebrate the New Year alone. 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 meeting” are tiring both for the nervous system and for the whole organism. Therefore, for those who wish, there is a way to celebrate the New Year alone, that is, alone or alone
.
Why is it cool to celebrate the New Year alone?
- no need to prepare many different dishes for a large group of people;
- you won’t have to run around the shops and consult with friends or relatives about each product, and then stand in long pre-New Year queues;
- you don’t have to make a mess;
- no need to worry about making sure everyone likes everything;
- You can watch whatever you want on TV.
Some may object with the classic phrase “How you celebrate the New Year is how you will spend it.” It may be true, but you shouldn’t literally adapt this New Year’s sign to yourself. Celebrating the New Year alone will only mean peace, comfort and harmony in the coming year.
Alone at home
Do you think that such a picture as from the movie “Home Alone” does not happen in real life? Then you are deeply mistaken. I won’t speak for anyone else, I’ll just tell you about my New Year, which I spent alone, or read about my plans for the next year.
I don’t remember exactly what year it was, but about 4 years ago I was left alone at home. No, they didn’t forget me, no one abandoned me, my parents just went to celebrate this holiday with their relatives, my sister decided to celebrate it with friends, and I... well, you already understand. I didn’t have friends with whom I would really be interested, and I had no desire to get close to anyone. There wasn't a single person I wanted to call. Was I sad? – Not at all, I set myself up to believe that everything is fine, today is a holiday, and on this day you shouldn’t be bored. At exactly 12, during the chiming clock, I walked up to the mirror with a bottle of beer (which I never finished) and said:
“Dude, I wish you that next year you won’t meet him alone, and he won’t be like this one!”
After that, I turned on my favorite movie “Black Lightning” and therefore was not at all disappointed with the time spent. Compared to previous years, I didn’t feel bad the morning after the stormy New Year’s meeting. I felt great!
New Year's home comfort is better than any noise
It is very convenient to celebrate the holiday in your own apartment or house. Fill your home with comfort: decorate the Christmas tree, hang garlands and toys in all rooms. Let these attributes create a New Year's mood.
When everything is ready, dress nicely if you wish. After that, take out a bottle of champagne, place your favorite dishes near you, turn on the TV and enjoy the fact that now you can do whatever you want. For example, eating on the floor with a plate in your hands or frequently changing channels, using the remote control like a keyboard. By the way, you can make it even easier for yourself to prepare for such a party and order ready-made food delivered to your home. Relax - so relax in everything!
Another option for celebrating the New Year alone is a fragrant bath. Fill it with warm water using foam, add a few drops of your favorite aroma oil, place a bottle of champagne next to it and enjoy complete relaxation. In order not to miss the chimes, turn on the TV loudly in one of the rooms or bring a device with the Internet. Then relax completely and remember to make a wish.
Virtual New Year
You can also celebrate the New Year on the Internet, where there are hundreds of different forums where people sit who also decided to celebrate with virtual acquaintances. You can use Skype to call family and friends who could not keep you company in reality. Also, New Year's Eve provides a great chance to buy goods in online stores with huge discounts, because many sites offer them at this particular time.
Even if you are not a fan of online games, you can register in one of them shortly before the New Year and look around in virtual reality. A lot of people celebrate this holiday in games - there is virtual drinking and virtual dancing until the morning, as well as exciting battles with monsters!
And on the road again...
If you don’t want to sit within the familiar walls of your own home, then go on a New Year’s tour. There, no one watches you alone or with someone else. Positively minded people usually go on such trips and will be happy to take you into the company. In addition, there is an opportunity to see a lot of interesting things.
If you are a risky and fearless person, then buy yourself a ticket for the night train. New Year on wheels will bring some romance and surprise to life, and fellow travelers will definitely keep you company and turn into friends.
Fresh air for a fresh look in the New Year
You can celebrate the New Year alone on the street. If you feel very lonely at home, go to the main square of your city; on New Year's Eve there are always people there. Mass celebrations will definitely involve you too. The celebration will be unusual!
You can also go to the roof of your house to enjoy the fireworks, the laughter that will be heard from the nooks and crannies, and at the same time feel above everything.
Celebrating the New Year alone is just a good opportunity for complete relaxation and awareness of your own self-sufficiency.
Strangers Party
On New Year's Eve, many bars, restaurants and clubs organize special holiday programs. They include performances by singers, illusionists, comedians, and dance groups. Also, the shows are often filled with competitions, practical jokes and fun. Here you can relax and have fun, even if you come alone. After all, the dance floor, karaoke and noisy competitions are available to everyone. The main thing is to be open, relaxed and remember that you came to have fun.
It is advisable to choose an establishment in advance, familiarize yourself with the program, dress code and reserve a table. Being among cheerful people, willy-nilly, you gain positivity and lightness.
How to spend the New Year alone and not feel sorry (for yourself)
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.
A holiday for the soul.
When celebrating the New Year alone,
you don’t have to wear festive clothes, put on makeup, and men don’t have to be clean-shaven. But the festive atmosphere must be present. You can please your loved ones: buy chic pajamas or sports pants with a bright T-shirt. This will lift your spirits and allow you to enjoy the euphoria of freedom. As for the festive table, it should include only your favorite dishes and drinks. Considering that a noisy feast with guests did not “hit your pocket,” you can and should treat yourself to your loved ones with caviar or sushi, expensive champagne, martinis or stronger drinks. Don't forget to decorate your apartment. If you don’t want to decorate a huge Christmas tree, you can put a beautiful bouquet of pine needles on the table or decorate candlesticks.
Dress up for yourself (and not as expected)
Let's look on the positive side. If you were left alone on New Year's Eve, it means that you yourself wanted it (and nothing else)! Judge for yourself: you have a unique opportunity to take care of yourself, get some sleep, and the next morning (unlike most) feel great and look fresh. You won’t have to spend long hours preparing your makeup and hair, and instead of an already boring floor-length evening dress, you will be able to choose an outfit in which you will be truly comfortable (read: “What to wear for the New Year if you are tired of dresses: 4 ideas with examples”).
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, luckily 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?
Cooking is the best cure for depression
Many people tend to eat depression with buns or other foods. How reasonable this is is a separate discussion, but if you do this on New Year’s Eve, it will not lead to tragic consequences for your figure. But there is no doubt that food lifted the mood already in the Paleolithic and continues to perform a similar function now.
Therefore, on the eve of the New Year, you should go to the store and buy all your favorite things that you can consume until the morning. It’s even better if you add something you made with your own hands to what you bought. Fruits, wines, roasts with aromatic crust, pastries and cakes - what could be better, especially if it is accompanied by holiday films. In such an atmosphere, only those who set this as a goal will feel sad.
“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
Start the New Year with a clean slate in the truest sense of the word. Describe all your innermost dreams on a piece of paper, make a wishlist of specific desires and imagine your happy future in the smallest details. Get creative: pack a piece of paper with your wishes in a bright box and be sure to hang it on the New Year tree (we provide a few more ways here: “Working on your dreams: how to dream so that everything comes true”)
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.
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!

Go on vacation

Organize a New Year's party in your apartment
As practice shows, when you take responsibility for holding a mass event, you forget about absolutely all your problems. That is why single ladies are recommended to organize any kind of gatherings or feasts more often. And the coming of the New Year is an excellent reason to implement this idea. However, it is worth noting that you do not need to invite only your old friends to such a grandiose holiday. After all, it is very important sometimes to communicate not only with your friends and relatives, but also to pay attention to complete strangers. In addition, there is a possibility that it is among these strangers that the one with whom you will spend the rest of your life will appear. Create new opportunities for yourself to lose loneliness, and one day this day will definitely come.

This is one of the most important races of the year, with over a thousand people marching through the city streets on the afternoon of December 31st.
Break all stereotypes
At the moment, many people are practicing a rather non-standard New Year's Eve celebration. As you know, this unusual thing lies in the fact that a certain team gathers and goes to celebrate the holiday not in a warm apartment where the table is richly laid, but on the street, where immediately after the chimes you can enjoy the sight of bright, colorful and exciting fireworks.
Many people start training months earlier, but don't panic! The end of the race is all about having a good time, so make it stress-free. And if you want to party and burn up the dance floor, Madrid is also your city. You can buy tickets to some of the nightclubs that offer New Year's parties. Joy Eslava, next to Puerta del Sol, or Capital, in Atocha, are good options for this night where you can enjoy a fun night full of surprises.
Finally, if you want a more relaxed plan with your partner, there are hotels that organize a special dinner that night. In Rio you can spend a summer Christmas since December is one of the hottest months. Copacabana Beach is one of the centers of New Year's celebrations. It attracts more than two million people to see the fireworks and enjoy the party.

New Year is a noisy family holiday that brings together relatives and old acquaintances at one table. However, not everyone manages to find a company to meet in 2020. Regardless of the reasons for loneliness during the winter holidays, you should not be upset and give up. You can celebrate the New Year well and cheerfully without guests.
