How to spend the winter holidays? Winter holidays- this is not a reason to eat, get drunk and lie in bed to your heart's content, watch movies all day, sleep until lunch. This type of vacation has never benefited anyone.
Often, after such “active” actions, everyone only complains about the appearance of drooping sides, belly, and a couple of extra pounds. To prevent this from happening, need to think about it in advance,how to spend a winter weekend, so to speak, draw up a detailed plan.
It’s good when you have the opportunity to go somewhere relaxing during the winter holidays. Many people can treat themselves to resorts.
There are two options: skiing, which corresponds to the time of year, and warmer climes, in order to plunge into the atmosphere of summer heat and fry your body in the burning sun. What to choose depends entirely on your preferences.
If you want extreme sports, skiing, skating and others winter adaptations, songs by the fire, warming up on a cold evening by the fireplace, then the choice, of course, should remain with ski resort. Explore the vast expanses of travel agencies in advance to find the most suitable option for yourself.
If you like to appear rested and quite tanned after a winter weekend at work, then feel free to buy a trip abroad, where the sun shines all year round and you can splash in the warm waves.
In addition to these options you can go to a resort or a sanatorium. The list of sanatorium services, in addition to standard health treatments, you can add various additional ones, such as massage, spa treatments, walks in the surrounding areas. 
Thanks to such a vacation, you will not only improve your health, but also spend time usefully, visit new places, study the history of the area, in short, have a great rest!
An economical alternative to such resorts is a trip to the village. If you don’t have a country house or grandma in a remote wilderness, then it is now very common green tourism. This is when you can rent a house with beautiful surroundings and spend several days there.
True, in winter this is not green tourism, but more white, but it’s also quite good. The main thing is that you will protect yourself from the noisy bustle of the city, you will be able to retire, think over all your life plans, take your family away from worries and celebrate the holidays in a quiet, calm atmosphere.
In addition, it is in the villages that ancient customs are still cherished and adhered to. Therefore, there you will definitely enjoy the real Christmas atmosphere of the holidays to the fullest, you will be able to participate, try many different delicacies, and sing folk Christmas songs - carols.
But not everyone has the opportunity to relax in foreign ski or sanatorium resorts. In this case, do not be upset. This is not a reason to sit at home in front of the TV all holidays. With a minimum of expenses, you can have a great winter holiday while at home.
There are many options. Let's look at a few of them. And you will definitely find a couple to your liking.
The main rule of winter holidays – don't sit at home!Go for walks more often. You can do this yourself, or you can do it in the company of friends and family. Even simple walks in the fresh winter air will lift your spirits and, in addition, strengthen your immunity.
But you can just take a walk at any other time of the year. And the winter holidays are a time to feel like a child again, throw away all your worries and really have some fun. Head to the hill with the kids. Go sledding a few times.
What about sleds, you can use any other means at hand. The main thing is that it is gliding and rides well on an icy slope. Play in the snow, build a snow woman or an entire castle of your own making.
Don’t be afraid to seem stupid - no one has ever canceled childhood. After all, we are all little children at heart.
If you don't want childish fun, then go to the skating rink. Go ice skating with friends. If there is such a possibility, then ride down the snowy slopes skiing or snowboarding. They have also now come up with other more extreme fun in the snow.
Snowboarding is no longer so scary, then try riding a snowmobile or a banana - similar to the one that plows the sea, only in winter it happens on snowy slopes. 
If you are an outdoor enthusiast, then you can go to winter hunting or fishing. It’s true that in this case you need to dress warmer, but it’s worth it. In addition to the pleasure that comes from mining, you will also benefit your health.
Few people have tried it, but outdoor picnics can also be held in winter time. , bring a warm drink with you(not necessarily alcohol, it can be tea in a thermos or compote) and feel free to go to the park.
And this is not extreme. The fire will help you warm up, and the barbecue will turn out even tastier than in the summer. Don't believe me? Try it first, you will definitely remember this picnic for a long time.
You don’t have to spend all your time outside, because you can get sick quickly. If you love cultural recreation, then go to museums, theaters, cinema. For the New Year there is always the opportunity to visit many different thematic exhibitions, and cinemas show several premieres simultaneously. Also You can visit the ice sculpture exhibition.
In the evening, you can also go with friends to a cafe or some other Entertainment Center. Go rollerblading, drink hot coffee, listen to pleasant music, visit an art exhibition, or just stroll around the shops and have fun.
You can keep yourself busy with useful things at home. Take time to develop yourself,read a book, look science film. You can do some kind of. Learn to knit, weave with beads, and make useful crafts for your home.
At the moment, there are a huge number of different manual techniques. Look on the Internet to see how many useful things can be made from seemingly completely unnecessary improvised means. This way you will spend your time profitably and make presents for your loved ones.
This list of healthy things to do during the winter holidays goes on and on. The main thing is not to sit idle!
Belief, what did the weekend come up with for that O, to sleep off, incorrect. The best thing to do is make a daily list of things you plan to do. Vary it up by alternating leisure with friends, in the fresh air and doing useful things around the house.

Go on a trip to New Year holidays I do not really like. It’s winter, the weather is often cloudy, you never know whether frost will strike or, conversely, there will be a thaw. There are crowds of people everywhere trying to have fun in their free time. In addition, winter is a traditional time for any epidemics such as influenza or ARVI.
It can be very cold in winter. And very beautiful. In the photo: the Alexander Nevsky Church in Vologda, the thermometer dropped to -25 degrees
But you don’t have to choose your free time. And therefore a sacramental question arises: where to go for the New Year holidays, how to spend your free time interestingly? After all, just going to visit each other is tiring, labor-intensive for the hostess and generally harmful to health.
Based on my experience of traveling during the New Year holidays, in this article I will talk about some options for traveling during the winter holidays from Moscow and having an interesting time at home.
If you are going to travelling by car, then it is more convenient if the distance from your home (or the daily mileage of the car) does not exceed 500-600 km. This is explained by the fact that winter daylight hours are short, the road may not be in the best condition, freezing rain may fall or, conversely, everything will be covered with deep snow. This places an additional burden on the driver.
Book hotels It's better to do it in advance. Especially if you are going to watch not very big popular tourist cities, such as, for example, Suzdal, Vladimir, Kostroma, Veliky Novgorod or Vologda. Already at the beginning of November, according to Booking, hotels in these cities were 85-95% booked, only a very large amount remained available expensive rooms, where the price tag reaches 100 thousand or more in 4-5 days, or apartments, that is, apartments (not everyone likes to stay in them).
In small non-tourist towns there are available hotel rooms. So, there were still free places in both hotels, and in general we were almost the only guests.
When searching for hotels, don't limit yourself to just one booking system. It may happen that, for example, Booking will not show any suitable options, but Hotellook, RoomGuru, or agoda They will offer very interesting options. In addition to hotels, you can also book apartments, for example, through.
During the New Year holidays the weather is very unpredictable. There may be a thaw, and a day later it could be 20 degrees below zero. In addition, the weather is often cloudy. Therefore, it is worth developing a route so as to visit museums, estates and other places where there is an opportunity to warm up. If the weather permits, you can go on an excursion, for example, order or.
If you traveling with children, then the program should definitely include visits to places interesting to children. Not all kids like art galleries or estates. Tired and bored, they begin to be capricious, which can cause dissatisfaction in other people.
Travel options for the New Year holidays in Russia
There are plenty of options on how to spend the New Year holidays interestingly and usefully. Here are some examples:
Trips to other cities of Russia
If you live in Moscow and are going on a trip by car, then these could be cities such as Tver, Torzhok, Uglich, Myshkin, Kaluga, etc. We should not forget about St. Petersburg and its Palace suburbs, ancient cities Leningrad region, for example, Vyborg, or.
In winter in St. Petersburg it can be quite chilly and damp. But this is fully compensated by the beauty of the city and the wealth of its museums and interesting excursions.
Special New Year's excursions in St. Petersburg
If you are traveling with children, then you can go to Veliky Ustyug to visit Santa Claus. At the same time, hotel booking issues should be taken care of in advance.
In 2015, my friend and I traveled to a very beautiful route- - . We stopped in each city for a day. We went to museums and saw the sights. They also “preened their feathers” by devoting time to beauty salons. We came back from the trip with a lot of impressions and noticeably prettier. Although we were unlucky with the weather: there was a thaw in Yaroslavl, and bitter frost in Vologda.
During the day the weather in Yaroslavl was grey, warm. But in the evenings the city was transformed
Recreation centers outside the city
A good option is to stay at recreation centers outside the city. You can choose from large sports and recreation complexes or boarding houses, as well as small private houses. Here you can ski or skate, take a walk, and if the complex has a swimming pool, then swim in it.
If you like cross-country skiing, then pay attention to Demino, which is not far from Rybinsk. There are magnificent trails here that are illuminated at night. Ski rental is available.
Professional athletes and national team members train in Demino. But non-professional skiers can also use the slopes
A few years ago, my friends and I went to a recreation center on. We rented a small wooden house with several rooms. During the day they walked, skied, drove around the surrounding area, and spent the evenings talking, dancing and fooling around. Not far from Seliger are beautiful lakes, where there are recreation centers.
In winter, the source of the Volga looks especially fabulous
Russian North and Karelia
One of the great options winter holidays- this is the Russian North and Karelia. The weather here is usually quite mild at this time. You can stay at a recreation center or rent a cottage not far from, or a small forest lake. Entertainment options include skiing, dog sledding, and snowmobiling. Fishing lovers will also not be bored.
During the winter holidays of 2018 we carried out fabulous trip along the route Vologda - Vytegra - Cherepovets - Rybinsk, visited Lake Onega. In the summer of 2018 we visited the shores Lake Ladoga and fell in love with those places. We stayed at the recreation center under, which is open all year round and which I can confidently recommend.
However, keep in mind that the journey there may take several days, so plan your route in advance, taking into account unforeseen situations on the road (if you are traveling by car).
To the south, to the sea!
Several of my friends almost every year during the New Year holidays travel by car to the south - to Black Sea coast Caucasus or Crimea. At this time it is not as cold there as in Central Russia. Good options rest - Anapa, Lazarevskoye, Adler, Zheleznovodsk, Kislovodsk, Evpatoria, Yalta, Sudak, Sevastopol.
Once upon a time in winter I traveled to Egypt and Tunisia several times. It was such a delight to be in the warmth, swim in the sea, ride along interesting places. Unfortunately, these countries are not the safest right now.
Abroad to Scandinavia
You can, on the contrary, go to northern countries, for example, to Sweden and fully enjoy the fabulous winter weather. Renting a cottage in Finland is sometimes cheaper than in Russia. Several of my friends vacationed in Finland and were very pleased with the trip. And their children were delighted with the trip to Lapland, the homeland of Santa Claus.
Abroad to ski resorts or just for a walk
European ski resorts famous all over the world. You can go to Andorra, Austria, Italy, Slovakia, Serbia, Sweden and other countries. Besides, European cities during Christmas and New Year they turn into a real fairy tale. , For example.
One of the most beautiful places in Andorra is Ordino. There are beautiful ski slopes nearby in the mountains
If you are staying at home for the New Year holidays
It also happens that you cannot go anywhere for the New Year holidays. No problem! Holidays at home can be made no less interesting and unforgettable. Many museums in Moscow, St. Petersburg and other cities will operate free of charge.
Pay attention to the service Frendi(Groupon) - here you can purchase tickets to various events with a 50-90% discount.
To the dacha to yourself or to friends
New Year's holidays are a traditional time for meetings with relatives or friends. And if a city apartment can be crowded, and the hostess has an additional burden in the form of cooking, setting the table, washing dishes, etc., then relaxing with friends at the dacha is more informal.
In winter, the village is a real fairy tale!
Walking in the forest
Winter is a great time for walks in the park or in a country forest. Great if you ski. And if you master horse riding, you can get unforgettable experience for life.
The winter forest looks completely different from the back of a horse
The winter forest is very beautiful. Look what extraordinary nature this time of year:
Blue sky, white trees - what could be more beautiful!
Day trips to other cities
You can arrange one-day trips to other cities. At this time, all cities are beautifully decorated, you can find a lot of entertainment: ice skating on skating rinks, visiting museums, just walking around beautiful places, weather permitting. You don't have to choose Big City. Small towns at this time often seem especially cozy and fabulous. You can also see the estates. For example, here are some ideas for the Moscow region. You can use our selection.

New Year holidays- a long-awaited time for both children and adults. There are so many amazing plans and expectations for holiday miracles these days. It’s especially nice that during the winter holidays you can relax with the whole family.
And that is why this time is one of the most difficult tests for both children and (especially!) for parents. How to spend the holidays without stress, not only not to get tired of the holiday, but also to accumulate energy and gain strength for the long, difficult months that await us after?
Here are some tips on how to make the most of the New Year holidays.
Vacations while traveling
Your idea of the perfect vacation may be different for you and your child. And he doesn’t care that you put a lot of effort and spent a lot of money to organize a trip, for example, to Paris. The child most of all wanted to go skiing or go to visit his grandmother for pies. This happens quite often. To ensure that traveling with children does not turn into torture for everyone, you need to plan everything from the very beginning so that everyone can find something to their liking.
Well, it’s boring for a child to watch masterpieces of world painting, but he loves crafts - introduce him to the relevant professions, find a pottery workshop or show him a blacksmith. It’s not interesting for children to listen to a tour about seven hours wooden architecture Rostov? Take them to watch how Rostov enamel is made, or to ring the bell, or to ride down the slides, as a last resort. In every corner of the world there will probably be something that will captivate your child specifically: a music store, a water park, a technical museum, an exhibition of comics or dolls, a trip to the places of Harry Potter’s military glory, a designer shop. After all, there are playgrounds everywhere. Was it worth crossing half the world to ride a swing? For him, yes.
When planning a trip, it is important to take into account the interests of all family members, even if they seem a little strange to you and you would dream of not leaving the Louvre for a week. Well, if you try and prepare interesting stories, then everyone will walk around any city and museum with pleasure.
Holidays at home
Sometimes, after months of daily stress, the most desired relaxation is to just be at home, not rush anywhere, not plan anything, not spend three hours on the road. This is a great solution, but there is a danger that you will spend two weeks with your whole family in a fog, moving between the dining table, the sofa and the TV, and you will get tired of resting in the first week. Doctors say the only way to cope with hibernation is through physical activity. If you stay at home, you will have to go ice skating, walk in the park, jump on a trampoline, climb a climbing wall - anything but sit motionless.
Lying down for two weeks with a book is an adult's dream, but a child should definitely have an adventure during the holidays, something he will remember and talk about. And this is not a second-rate Christmas tree with harmful candies as a gift. It should be something important and desirable for him: a movie, a concert, a hockey match, a master class on making a snowman or robotics - it doesn’t matter, the main thing is that it should be what he wants, and not what you think is useful or where you managed to get tickets.
Most of all our children Everyday life Strangely enough, there is not enough communication with loved ones: gather friends and relatives, go to visit with the whole family, simple gatherings with tea and board games in a warm company can become the most memorable event of the New Year.
Studying during the holidays
Many parents are worried that during the holidays their children will forget what they have learned, and they perceive free time from school as an opportunity to brush up on subjects that are difficult for them. The most harmful thing you can do on New Year's days is to force your child to solve examples or cram rules. This will give nothing but horror and hatred. But the holidays are really a great time to teach a student to enjoy intellectual work, to make studying seem to him not a heavy burden, but an endless source of joy from learning.
To do this, it is necessary that there is a cult of this knowledge in the family. When we scold children for not wanting to learn, it’s worth thinking about what we ourselves are learning? The option “I graduated from my universities a long time ago” is not accepted. New Year's holiday is an ideal time for self-development: go together to a master class on Ebru painting or a lecture on game theory, sign up for an excursion to the planetarium, or simply search for popular science films on the Internet. You can also attend developmental trainings or even.
There are many games that, while entertaining, perfectly reinforce school knowledge: mathematical ones, such as “Okay” or “Rummikub”, language ones, for example, “Scrabble”. There is a very fun game called “Hat”, where you need to guess a character using questions, and you agree to guess only real historical figures. Or another very funny thing: take a book, open it to any page and read the first two paragraphs; let everyone else continue this story to the best of their imagination - a great way to learn how to write essays.
Vacations - a break from control
At school, our children are every day in a very regulated world, full of rules, laws, prohibitions, where they are graded for everything. In fact, psychologically it is very difficult. Give them a break during the holidays, just be themselves. Holidays are a great time when you don’t have to ask your child what he got, whether he did his homework, or filled out his diary. It is also important for parents to take a break from constant control. Appreciate this and enjoy mutual freedom.
