• Every year I buy candles and bake a cake, go outside and wait for the wind to blow out the candles.
• Every year at the end of December, I choose a fresh mandarin, write the number of the coming year on it, and add it to the collection. Oddly enough, the fruits of 2016 and 2017 are still nothing outwardly, but 2018 has already lost its presentable appearance. They seem to really feel like my year has gone.
• A couple of years ago, on December 31, I spontaneously invited all my family members to share with each other their memories on the topic of what good happened for them this year. I thought that we somehow miss or quickly forget all the good moments. And now another year passes, and it seems to us that nothing good has happened. Now on December 31 we devote time to a general conversation and remember what good we had this year.
• For our family, it has recently become a tradition to collect spruce wreaths with ribbons and bells. We sit down on New Year's Eve with our brothers and sisters and make our hands, and then the whole house smells of Christmas trees. And one more tradition is to write plans for the year ahead. And a year later, to get out and see what was there and what happened and succeeded.
• One friend of mine and her future husband took a minibus, decorated it, installed speakers and rode all night on December 31 through the city, congratulating everyone who met on the way. I think the charge from such emotions for the whole next year is simply amazing. I have long dreamed of a minibus.

• My dad never put the tree down before my birthday because we had a tradition of decorating it for my name day. 5 years ago I moved, and he is still faithful to traditions.
• I have a tradition to read Gogol's "Christmas Eve" shortly before the New Year. I read solemnly and out loud so that my beloved man and cat also get a boost of festive mood. If it is not possible to do this, then I watch the film adaptation of this work, but exclusively the version of Alexander Row.
• My father works as a machinist. Often on a New Year voyage. He says that when the chimes are struck, all the drivers simultaneously give a signal or beep.
• Making ravioli with the whole family is a tradition that is over 100 years old.
• We are small, parents are young. Why are there parents, grandparents are still young, and the holiday is at their home. We all represent some character, and I, of course, d'Artagnan. It's great that, although in fragments, I remember these events. I am trying to find pictures of "New Year's fishing". This was when the curtain in the doorway was pulled, on one side we stood with fishing rods, and on the other side there was a "sea with gifts." Everyone was happy, and it was like just yesterday. The only pity is that it was not yesterday.
• We have a tradition in our family - to celebrate each New Year in a new country. Traveling always brings so many emotions, and meeting a holiday in another country is something unimaginable! There is both atmosphere and traditions.
• Our main thing on New Year's Eve is not to get bored. Therefore, we come up with various contests with poems, songs, dances and more. Once even an Indian film was "shot". The company was large and motley, so a movie with a lot of characters came out. We also try to come up with our own custom for each sign. For example, in the year of the Hare we ate a magic carrot, and in the year of the Pig we grunt happily, even “grunt” songs.

• Usually every year someone from my family becomes a book fairy and buys books for everyone. This is amazing, because the publications that my mother gives me are different from those that, for example, my brother gives.
• Our late grandmother gave some really stupid gifts like dog treats or cake candles. Now that she is gone, we are continuing the tradition of giving each other "grandmothers" gifts containing the most stupid and useless things imaginable.
• When I was little, we had a family tradition of buying a Christmas tree from the supermarket. My brothers and I played hide and seek between the shelves while Dad picked a tree. Every year I was waiting for this trip and had fun with all my heart. I am now 25 and have been choosing a Christmas tree myself for a couple of years now. But only now I realized that my dad had been pretending all these years: the buying process took much longer than it took, and dad was just giving us the opportunity to fool around. Yesterday I asked him if this is really so, and he just smiled, laughed a little and said: "Oh yes!"
• The son chooses a new decoration for the tree every year. It turns out that the tree is randomly decorated with random toys. But on the other hand, it keeps memories of what he liked.
• I love to embroider snowflakes. I plan to make such embroidery a New Year's tradition.
• Every New Year's Eve, we drive to the coast, grab a camping stove and have our first cup of tea of ​​the year, watching the colorful fireworks over the sea.
• Mom wrapped tiny presents (nail polish, rings) and hid them between the branches of the Christmas tree. Well, we rummaged through the tree until the morning in search of gifts. Mom started this tradition when we were very young. Now I'm 27, and she still hides presents on the tree.
