Holidays, weekends, vacations, vacations - we always look forward to them coming, we make a lot of plans, think about where to go, who to meet. However, very often we don’t spend our days free from work and other worries quite the way we want.
As a rule, we go to two extremes: we either try to do a general cleaning in a few days, wash everything, iron it and rewash it (we continue to do things, only household ones), or we settle down on the couch for the whole weekend, watch TV, read, eat and sleep. When workdays begin, we notice with regret that we have not rested at all.
New Year's holidays are ahead, how to spend them correctly?
Perhaps most readers will agree with us if we say that during vacations or holidays it is best to go on a trip.
What to do on holidays
Tired of winter? Go to the warm southern sea! Don't want to change the climate dramatically? You can go to Europe or Scandinavian countries.
Of course, it is better to take care of the voucher in advance, so if you did not have time to buy it or you do not have such an opportunity, you can go to another city for a few days, just book a hotel room in advance.
If you have a country house in which you can live not only in summer, but also in winter, you can spend several holidays there in nature or even celebrate the New Year.
There are several advantages. Firstly, you will breathe clean air, and secondly, you can put a Christmas tree in the yard, light a fire, warm up aromatic mulled wine and have fun. Thirdly, you can go skiing, sledding or just downhill, build a snowman, a fort, play snowballs, and so on.
Don't have a country house or don't want to travel far? Then you can go to the nearest park and have just as much fun.
You can also spend a few days exploring your city. Even streets that have been traveled many times, covered with sparkling snow or illuminated by festive illuminations, can appear in a completely different light.
What to do on holidays
You have a great opportunity to visit those corners of your city where you have not been before. And if you get cold, you can always go to a cafe and drink hot tea or coffee.
Winter is the best time to visit exhibitions, theaters and concert halls. Why? Because it’s cold outside and only the most seasoned can walk for a long time, especially since many theaters close their season for the summer.
Buy tickets in advance, you will still have time before the holidays begin.
Walking around the city, sitting in a cafe and attending cultural events are another reason to meet with friends. And if you haven’t seen each other for a long time, then you can celebrate the holidays at someone’s home. If New Year's Eve is traditionally spent with family, then the days after the holiday can be spent in a cheerful company of friends and acquaintances.
Very often our loved ones do not receive enough attention from us, especially if we are busy all day at work. Holidays are the best time to devote some of your time to them.
What to do on holidays
Be with your children, take a walk with them, read, play or just have fun. Give your beloved husband a romantic dinner. Visit your parents, grandparents, and aunts, because the elderly really need our attention.
Do you have a hobby, but don’t have enough time for it on weekdays? The New Year holidays are long, so be sure to devote a couple of days to your favorite activity.
Don't have a hobby? It's time to think about what you would be interested in doing. To do this, you can try to do something, guided by the master classes on our pages. You can make yourself felt beads or knit mitts - you’ll spend your time usefully, and you’ll get some new clothes.
Self-care is not a waste of time, even if men (and some women too) think so. The more well-groomed a woman is, the happier she is. Devote some time to yourself, go to the hairdresser, beautician or massage therapist. Treat yourself to a spa at home, take a bath with aromatic oils, do peeling, mask and other self-care treatments.
And also taking care of yourself means buying yourself something new, for example, a dress, shoes or boots. Why not? If you work a lot, then a couple of days of shopping is a great time! Do you agree?
We wish you great holidays and a wonderful vacation!
Oksana NISCHUK
Do you love New Year?
Don't know what to do on the weekend in Moscow? Are you active and can't sit still? Does your soul require adventure? Then our ideas are for you!
Museum of Man, "Living systems"
A family educational and entertainment project that, in the form of a game, will reveal to us the secrets of the structure of the body and the secrets of how the body works. All exhibits can and even should be touched, examined and studied. Here they will tell you not only about how the heart, lungs, stomach, etc. function, but will also allow you to take a journey “deep into yourself” and experiment with your body!
Kremlin in Izmailovo
Izmailovo Kremlin - a magical place for a walk in Moscow ,
a unique cultural and entertainment center. Here you can imagine yourself as the hero of any fairy tale. Painted mansions and patterned towers look as if they have just stepped out of the pages of your favorite books. Here you will find a museum of Russian fairy tales, bread, marshmallows, chocolate, Miracle City, a museum of the history of vodka, animation, the Russian fleet and even a museum of ill-mannered children. This is such an interesting combination!
By the way, be careful, you need to register for excursions in advance.
Where: in your area of the city.
What else to do in Moscow? Visit the majestic cathedral, which is eye-catching! Organ music concerts are often held here. The atmospheric view of the cathedral and the wonderful music of an unusual instrument are two reasons to visit this interesting place.

There are a large number of shooting ranges and shooting clubs in Moscow, but we want to tell you about another unusual place.
Play "Strelarium" - this is a game close to paintball, in which your weapon will be a bow with safe arrows. Such arrows with a soft tip will not harm a person, and at the same time will not change the flight path. A team game in which you will need to “survive” under the onslaught of the enemy and defeat him.

Excursion to the Chistaya Liniya ice cream factory

Here you will get acquainted with the production technology of your favorite dessert, learn how to decorate ice cream, and at a tasting you will try several types of delicious delicacies. At the end of the event, photographs and souvenirs from the factory will await you.
Everyone has their favorite places to go. What about those parts of the city you've never been to? Weekends are a great opportunity to sign up for an excursion, go to a local history museum, or simply wander through unfamiliar streets.
True, in the cold season you don’t always want to walk in the snow and piercing wind. The solution is to gather friends. Just like that, without any reason. And it’s even better to invent this reason: the New Year’s rehearsal, the birthday of the Emperor of Japan, the release of a new episode of your favorite TV series. Are you short on ideas for themed parties?
Many people have a bunch of retro junk collecting dust at home, which can either be donated to those in need, or sold at a profit on Avito or eBay. And now it's time to do it. While you're sorting it out, indulge in memories.
The days fly by and you can't even remember what you did last weekend? Try to capture every pleasant moment of your life in a photo.
Choose something complex and beautiful, buy everything you need at the store and get started. Try to decorate the dish as in a restaurant, light candles that have been gathering dust in the closet since last New Year, mix an unusual cocktail. The weekend is a holiday that is always with you.
A weekend with children is a good chance to briefly return to childhood without being branded as an infantile eccentric. Go to a new cartoon in a cinema, a children's show, a zoo, a planetarium, an aquarium, a museum of entertaining science, toys or sweets (yes, not all museums are dedicated to boring things). If you don’t have your own children, you can “borrow” them from friends or relatives.
Think about what you would like to change about yourself, what in your body gives you the most discomfort, what doctors previously recommended to you. And then you can either go to the gym or choose exercises for yourself.
And it doesn’t matter what it will be: a herbarium, a collection of minerals, insects or cups. Creating a collection doesn't have to be expensive. The same plants and stones are easy to find literally under your feet.
This is also a great opportunity to chat with distant relatives whom you haven’t called for a long time. There are resources on the Internet that can help you find your ancestors. What if no one knew, but you are a count?
Get some quiet time with a good book. And if you don’t want to spend money on new books, try raiding the nearest shelves for bookcrossing. Surely there will be something to your liking there. Just don't forget to leave something on the shelf too.
The task is extremely simple: go into a bar, drink a glass of beer or a shot of something stronger and move towards another drinking establishment. All this, of course, in the company of friends. You can continue either until you lose the ability to move, or until you run out of money.
Large cities are full of courses and coaches who can teach you anything. And if you don’t want to spend money on teachers, you can be patient and learn a new skill with the help of tutorials from the Internet.
Geocaching is a quest on a global scale. Geocachers place capsules in a variety of places and leave instructions on their website for finding “treasures.” To find a “treasure”, you need to solve a riddle, and to solve a riddle, you need to know well the history of the place in which it is hidden. There are probably at least a couple of such “treasures” in your city. As soon as you become more adept at finding them, you can start laying new capsules yourself.
Why not rearrange the furniture? It's time to change something in this life. And on weekends there is just time to decorate your home and make the environment more comfortable.
Collect small things that you have memories with in a box, write a letter to yourself in 5, 10 or 20 years and put it somewhere away. It is not even necessary to bury the time capsule in the ground; it is enough to seal the box so that it cannot be opened without breaking it, and put it in the far corner.
Pick three favorite TV shows or movies that you've been wanting to get to for a long time and watch them non-stop. Popcorn, pizza and other goodies will complement the experience.
You can go to a farm outside the city, to a petting zoo, go to a pet store, or just visit friends who have a pet. A sea of positivity is guaranteed.
Handmade things are valued much more than factory-made ones, especially in the era of mass market. You can start with greeting cards, soap, candles - all this does not require any special skills or special artistic talent. And there, maybe you can make money from crafts.
There is also a lot of interesting things in neighboring cities! Museums, estates and simply beautiful historical buildings are just waiting for you to get to them.
You can arrange a small flowerbed near your house and be happy every time you pass by it. And in the cold season, try to grow something on your windowsill.
In the summer, the parks are full of open dance classes: they give you the opportunity to move around and meet new people. In addition, dance schools offer free trial lessons throughout the year. If you don't like it, you have nothing to lose.
Select the photos that are really important to you and order a print from a photo salon. Whatever they say, this way of preserving memories is both more pleasant and reliable than gigabytes of photo archives in computer memory. And you can make a photo album yourself.
Cleanup work ceases to be a tedious obligation if you organize it yourself. You can also become a volunteer at a shelter, help your disabled neighbors, go donate blood and encourage your friends to do all this. Help people and feel like a good person.
And this doesn't just mean lying on the couch all day. For quality relaxation, it is better to master meditation techniques or yoga. Or, at worst, soak in a warm and fragrant bath.
Life these days is always in a hurry to get somewhere, before the long-awaited weekend arrives, Monday comes and then it’s back to work. But what about rest? Let's figure out what you can do on your days off.
This article is intended for persons over 18 years of age
Have you already turned 18?
There's nothing wrong with spending two days lying on your side, flipping TV channels or staring at the ceiling. This even needs to be done, but very rarely, otherwise it also turns into a routine and brings melancholy and bad thoughts that life is joyless and boring.
This is certainly not true! We just don’t always know what to do on our days off. But if you set a goal and come up with options, then it is quite possible to create a very large cultural program for yourself on Saturday or Sunday.
Your program will also depend on who you will be doing it with - your beloved husband or wife, your child, your friends or your parents. The material component is also an important point: are you ready to spend money or would you prefer to have fun without spending your money? How you will spend your day off and where will depend on these moments.
Therefore, stop messing around, gather your team, choose a place and time, and go on vacation!
If you are a family man, you have a spouse, as well as a couple of children, and you want to have fun and interesting time with them, then here are your options:
Of course, the beach and picnic in the park are suitable for warmer seasons, such as summer, late spring or early autumn. But what to do when it’s cold outside? In winter, the best activity would be a snowball fight; if you have a large family, you can have a real battle. It's always fun to build a snowman or go sledding.
What do people do in the city? If you're willing to splurge, going to the cinema is a great option for a family weekend getaway. If the children are still small, take them to see a cartoon. Nowadays there is always at least one cartoon showing in cinemas.
If you crave thrills, go straight to the amusement park. This is where the real impressions are! Here you can have great fun for both adults and children, ride a Ferris wheel, ram each other with cars and eat cotton candy.
Your family might enjoy visiting various exhibitions, museums or other cultural events. Find out in advance where they will be held and be sure to go there.
It's always interesting to go to the theater to see a performance. It is very interesting and exciting to watch actors play live.
There is no need to think that there is nothing to do at home other than sitting in front of the computer or TV. For many, it will always be better to spend time with family at home. Especially if the weather outside is rainy and you don’t want to go anywhere. What can you do at home? Let's start with the fact that it will be a lot of fun to do something together, like cook a meal. Get organized and cook a simple meal together.
Games are always the most exciting and fun. If you have board games, play them, but if you don't, you can always play crocodile and the like.
You can add a little romance and set up a home theater. To do this, choose an interesting movie, sit on the floor close to the computer monitor or TV screen, lay out a soft blanket or throw pillows, and, of course, have something to chew. It is best to arrange such a viewing in the evening, when the sun has already set; the darkness will add a real feeling of being in the cinema.
For a couple of lovers who are just beginning to build their relationship, it is very important to spend time together and preferably not only at home while watching TV series, but also to go for walks and have a cultural relaxation. But what can you do on the weekend with a girl or guy?
A great way to have a good time with your loved one is a simple walk in the fresh air. Regardless of the time of year, you can take a walk (this way you communicate, enjoy nature and learn a lot about each other). A walk is a great option for a young couple who wants to spend a lot of time together.
Go to the cinema or theater. It is worth organizing such outings at least once or twice a month, it is very useful for developing culture in yourself, as well as just having a pleasant time together.
An excellent option would be to visit the same amusement park, where the two of you can have fun and get a lot of positive emotions, and of course, eat cotton candy!
For a girl and a guy, the best option for a weekend getaway is always a visit to a cafe or restaurant. There is nothing more pleasant than sitting in the evening in the company of your loved one, in a good establishment, chatting and tasting delicious food. This option is also suitable for married couples who want to be alone without children. Romance is never too much.
You don't have to spend money to have a good rest. It doesn’t matter who you are with - your family, your child, your husband, your girlfriend or boyfriend, you can have a great weekend at home or outdoors and do it without any money!
Take a walk. Fresh air will be good for you. You can walk everywhere if you live in the city. There are plenty of places where you can take a walk, the same park where there are swings and slides. If there is a river, then there must be an embankment, walk along it, watch the people and city life. Such an excursion will allow you to learn more about your city and introduce your children to it.
Active leisure is also an excellent example for spending time on the weekend. Go for a run or do some aerobic exercise. Go on a hike. Just take water and a light snack from what you have at home and travel a little.
A good option for spending a day off would be to visit your parents. Applicable if you live separately. Meeting with mom and dad will always give you a boost of positive energy and will also help strengthen your relationship with your family. You may have to spend a little money, for example, on travel if your parents live far away, but this is an insignificant expense for such an important visit.
For some of us, the weekend does not promise much good, because while some of us are having fun in nature or going to restaurants on Saturday or Sunday, others are waiting for the weekend to continue repairs! Naturally, there are people who really like it and they transform their home with joy. But is it possible to do repairs on the weekend? However, when else should it be done? After work you won't have enough energy.
In any case, if doing repairs is a pleasure for you, you like it, and you feel a sense of joy, then do repairs on your day off! If you don’t want this, then it’s better, of course, to hire specialists who will do everything for you, but this costs money. It's up to you to decide. But repairs are a sacred matter, so if you start and decide to do it yourself, then do it on your vacation or on weekends.
Don't know how to spend your weekend? What to do and where to go on your legal day off? - We'll tell you!
Attractions, music, nature, children's laughter, cotton candy... How this all reminds us of the distant past... Immerse yourself in it, forgetting everyday life and everyday problems.
Going to unfamiliar places is a super mega offer! It is unlikely that anyone will refuse it.
Hint: there are a lot of photos here geo-locally people “come out” in the photographs. Check it out too!
Everyone dreams of going there. Especially those who did not have time to “enjoy” circus performances in childhood.
Dance, dance, dance! It’s good with them! And it doesn’t matter that the person dances unprofessionally and bizarrely.
Dedicate the whole Saturday only to your appearance, only to your most adored self! After all, only a woman who takes care of herself, who likes herself... - will never have a complex and grieve that she has no fans and admirers.
Buy pizza, light candles, prepare a bottle of wine or champagne... And then the evening itself will indicate its “development”! Pizza (like everything else) can be ordered online if you don’t have time to prepare it properly.
Anything you need…. It looks beautiful! He is obliged and forced to take care of the rest himself.
Romance! It's good where there is a lot of nature! Especially in the warm season...
At this place they are used to celebrating unusual celebrations (bachelorette party, graduation) and taking photographs from different angles. Spend the evening admiring the clouds and horizon.
You can take a blanket so that the wind doesn’t scare you. It’s even cooler to keep each other warm by rolling around in a rocking chair (many people now have it on their balcony).
Drive together if you know how and are not afraid. If you are afraid, choose bicycles. They are safer. Although you need to be able to manage them.
You walk, stroll, talk..... And then go to your favorite bed. Together! After shower! You can't help but dream about this...
Spend your weekend in the forest, with a barbecue and a tent. Take a “sweet couple”, for example, to make it more fun.
Nostalgia is calling... Please respond! Dedicate your weekend to the very place that brought you together.
Who knows…. It is quite possible that a young man will invite you there without hesitation. When to see the “magic building”!
And you don’t have to disappear near them around the clock! If you win a toy (or other prize), you leave the “territory of excitement.” It will be difficult to do, but love can conquer everything! Love each other!
