When do they give gifts for the New Year?

New Year is a celebration of fun and magic. Receive gifts like not only children but also adults. The special atmosphere of the holiday with many interesting traditions and tales is not overshadowed even by the many troubles in the preparation. Many people think about when exactly it is necessary to give and open gifts.

On the eve of the holiday, the whole family chooses a Christmas tree, sets and decorates it. Often tinsel and garlands hang around the whole house, which makes the atmosphere even more comfortable and atmospheric. Santa Claus gives gifts to the child for the New Year. Parents are completely out of work; kids know this for sure. The most magical New Year's tradition can rightfully be called writing a letter.

On the eve of the holiday, remind the child of the magic mail. Hand in a pen and a leaf, take care of a beautiful envelope. If the kid still does not know how to write, then let him dictate to you a text, write a message together. Another option is to offer the baby to draw what he wants.

There are several ways to convey wishes to Santa Claus:

• hang on a Christmas tree;
• put on the window;
• invite the animators of Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden so that the child personally passes the envelope.

Tell the kid that Santa Claus got into the house precisely through the chimney. In all other cases, it can be a window or a balcony. You can again call the animators or dress up one of the family members as a wizard to give a gift.

Exact traditions on this subject simply do not exist, so you can build on the circumstances and age of the child.Gifts are prepared in advance and usually put under the tree. Everything needs to be folded up imperceptibly for the child, so as not to undermine his faith in a fairy tale.

Most families believe that the holiday begins on December 31, and therefore give gifts on the night of December 30 to 31 or in the morning. If on the day of the main adult troubles the child will already be with sweets and toys, then he will not so much feel the lack of increased attention to his person.

Other families are used to giving presents on the night of December 31 to January 1. This is due to the fact that the 1st of the year begins. You can correctly put gifts under the tree like this.

• While the chimes are beating and the children are busy with fireworks, sparklers. Imperceptibly, one of the adults should put gifts under the Christmas tree. Then the child will enjoy the toys at night.
• While the children will sleep. You can carefully lay out the boxes and wait for the baby to wake up. On the morning of January 1, the child will happily run rustling in packages.

Gifts are given to adults during a festive feast, after a chime. There are also several options. You can pass from hand to hand or also put everything under the Christmas tree. In the latter case, the use of name tags is relevant.

If the child sits with you at the table, then give as well as adults. You can give gifts to babies at any time from December 30 to January 1.

Of great importance is not only what you give, but also how you do it. When it comes to magical New Year surprises, this rule is especially true. Taking into account the customs of the ancestors, certain traditions of giving were formed. Each family chooses something suitable for itself, and transfers it to younger children.

Some secrets.

• Gifts are stacked in a large red bag, decorated with stickers and tinsel. The names of the recipient are written on the boxes, but the donor remains unknown. A bag is thrown under the door after a chime. Someone from adults, and better from children, goes to check, finds gifts and brings them into the house. Giving alternates with toasts and jokes, so it can stretch for several hours.
• The method is similar to the previous one.. Only here, when receiving gifts from the box, they read a humorous description of the person to whom it is intended.
• For children, you can come up with a whole quest, at the end of which there will be a gift. Come up with encrypted clue notes and put them in a specially prepared room. You can dot the floor with arrowheads made from tinsel or serpentine. When the children at the end receive a well-deserved prize, their joy has no limit. At the same time, it is better to closely associate tasks with the holiday.
• Make a map of Santa Claus, on which crosses will indicate places with gifts. Tell the child that Grandpa had a hole in the bag and the boxes fell. Recipient names must be encrypted so that they can only be read with the magic key.
• In the 19th century, children played the game "Transmission" on public Christmas trees. Adults give a gift that is wrapped in many layers of paper. Children pass the packaging from hand to hand, gradually removing the layers. The gift was taken by the one who removed the last paper. The child went out of the circle, and the game began again.
• Hang sweets with gift names on the Christmas tree. Fill in a bag of quests. Both adults and children can take part in such entertainment. Everyone chooses a ghost, performs a task and takes candy from the Christmas tree. Accordingly, everyone wins a special gift. It turns out a lot of fun.
• Guests should find their special business card on the Christmas tree. It should indicate the name, character traits, habits or fun facts. On the back, place the coordinates of the personal gift.Gifted will gladly embark on a quest.

Receiving gifts is very fun and pleasant. Many people think about when to open them. If we are talking about children, then they start unpacking instantly. At an adult holiday, little is changed either.

Be sure to thank for the gift, show the giver your emotions. When it comes to children, let them immediately try out a new toy or eat candy - depending on what you give. New Year's magic should not be burdened by parental grumpiness.
