How to spend a long weekend? What if there is no snow and you don't want to go outside? Pink has collected activities for outdoor enthusiasts and couch potatoes.
We are looking forward to the winter holidays, but we cannot always go on vacation. You can plan in advance how interesting and pleasant it is to spend New Year's week if you stay at home this year.
Chat with loved ones
Vacations are a good time to visit friends and family whom you have not been able to meet during the year. You can have a themed party like a carnival, board game tournament, or a culinary feast where you can make dumplings together, make sushi, or bake magic fortune cookies. You can go on a visit yourself - this is an excuse to dress up, give a gift and just take a walk. And you can also get out with your family and friends to a new exhibition, premiere of a film or play.
To clean up
You can use your free time to clean up the mess. Try to set aside a day to take apart the closets and put away the items you want to keep. From them, you can collect ready-made images so that on weekdays in the morning you do not think about what to wear, and understand what is missing in the wardrobe. While you have some free time, take pictures of the annoying clothes and shoes and post them on themed sites for sale. Or donate these things to charities. You can also throw a swap party and swap things with friends to pick up missing parts for your own new bows. The most energetic can continue to de-clutter and arrange a general cleaning to get rid of unnecessary things, and change the interior by moving furniture.
Go for a walk
In addition to the usual walks in the parks, try to arrange a walking tour of unusual and interesting places. You can choose the route yourself or choose a guided walk. Such an excursion will help you see the city from an unexpected side, learn historical facts and urban legends.
You can go to New Year's fairs, taste sweets and hot drinks, and buy beautiful and unusual things for a cozy home decor. Or arrange a winter picnic with friends in the park, grab a thermos with warming tea, and organize a fun holiday photo session.
Make up for lost time
Throughout the year, we often put off books or films for later because we don’t find time for them. During the holidays there is an opportunity to return to the list or re-read and revise something that has been loved for a long time. You can put all the episodes of an interesting series in a row, listen to the musical premieres of the year, or completely immerse yourself in reading. In addition, many publications for the New Year make a selection of the best novelties in music, cinema and literature, so the list can be supplemented.
Arrange an active holiday
Artificial ice rinks and indoor ski slopes provide an opportunity to practice your favorite winter sports in the absence of snow. In addition, you can try unusual entertainment : spend the day at the water park, fly in a wind tunnel, go to the bowling or billiard room, complete a quest, play laser tag, or go to the space station. And when it snows, you can go sledding, make a snowman, or make a snow angel.
Spend a beauty day
Try to choose a day for home spa treatments - take a bath with foam and aromatic salts, make masks for hair, face and hands, massage, have an aromatherapy session. You can turn a beauty day into a meeting with your friends - combine beauty treatments with a pajama party, experiment with hair and makeup options , exchange things, watch your favorite movies, chat and cook a delicious and healthy dinner.
Remember romance
Try something new with your loved one or remember previous common hobbies, go to the cinema or theater together, take a walk or have a romantic dinner. Free days are an occasion to refresh relationships , chat, flirt and re-charm each other. For those looking for a couple, the holidays can be a time for romantic get-togethers. You can try to start the new year by registering on a dating and dating site. Holidays are also a chance to meet new people, for example, by going to a cafe, to a big party, going on an excursion or to a skating rink.
Write a letter
Think of the tradition of paper cards and letters and send congratulations or the latest news to friends and family who don't use email. And also try to write a letter to yourself, defining goals and plans for the next year, noting everything that has been done and what you would like to achieve. This message can be sealed and stored until next year to check what and how it was implemented and what turned out even better than you expected.
Master a new hobby
Free time is a reason to find new hobbies. Go to a dance class, ski or snowboard, look at a foreign language textbook. You can paint a picture, make a collage of old calendars and postcards, try knitting or embroidery , attend an open vocal lesson or play a musical instrument. Perhaps on weekdays you did not have enough time to calmly master meditation or figure out how to cook your favorite dish - use this vacation for this if you like active rest.
Just take a rest
