In the New Year 2009 - in full parade

And here comes the most joyful, beloved holiday for all - New Year! A holiday that children and adults are looking forward to a miracle, decorating a fluffy Christmas tree with colorful garlands, purchasing gifts for near and dear ones, and believing in the traditional sign: “How to celebrate the New Year, you will live it.”

The new 2009 year of the earthen Bull is the second year of the twelve-year cycle according to the eastern calendar. According to an ancient legend, the Bull was chosen as the second of all animals for its responsiveness, kindness and hard work. The bull is distinguished by silent restraint and sluggishness, it is impossible to stop, hold or move from the intended path. With his colossal inner strength, fantastic tenacity, original mind and high intellect, he achieves his goals in a short, but not the easiest way.

The bull is a domestic animal, and therefore it is recommended to celebrate New Year 2009 in the family circle, among the closest relatives and friends, at a rich and solemn table, which is recommended to be placed in the center of the room. Vegetarian dishes and plant foods should prevail on the table: greens, fruits, vegetables, cereals, an abundance of dairy products and cheeses will not hurt. With meat you need to be careful, and especially with beef. Do not forget about sweets: cakes, muffins, cakes and mousses. Remember, the more varied the dishes, the more they will be on the holiday table, the more successful the next year will be. Decorate the table with small bull or cow figures. The symbol of the coming year will undoubtedly please wooden or ceramic dishes, spoons, shells and pebbles, as well as candles, which should be 5 or 12 - yellow, golden, silver, purple or blue. Decorate the Christmas tree with handmade toys, small bouquets of paper or silk flowers, nuts, sweets, fruits and cones.

The traditions and customs of each country in the world leave their mark on the New Year's menu. For example, Japanese housewives prepare dishes from products that, in their opinion, bring happiness and good luck: from seaweed - to joy, from chestnuts - to success in business, from peas and beans - to health, from boiled fish - to good spirits and calm. At the festive tables of Austria, Hungary, Yugoslavia, you can hardly find any bird dishes - it is believed that happiness can fly away this evening. Exactly at midnight on New Year's Eve, every Cuban, Spaniard, Portuguese must eat exactly 12 grapes, and then the 12 most cherished desires will come true. In general, grapes or vines in these countries symbolize abundance and a happy family home. Nuts, lentils and the same grapes - a symbol of health, prosperity and longevity among Italians. And in Slovakia and the Czech Republic on the festive table must be stewed cabbage with sausages, carp, mushroom soup, poppy seeds and honey cookies with milk. New Year's holidays in France can safely be called a "symphony in white." On the table are white candlesticks with white candles, fresh fruit, doused with white icing, for dessert - a white cupcake and nogu-mogul. In Poland, thirteen kinds of dishes are served at the festive table, which is necessarily covered with a snow-white tablecloth.

They say that the Bull does not tolerate negligence in clothes, therefore, the issue of the New Year's outfit should be approached scrupulously and thought through everything to the smallest detail. Opinions regarding the colors and shades of the Christmas outfit differ. Some people think that it is best to avoid red flowers in clothes so as not to "tease" the Bull, while others, on the contrary, believe that it is with red and its shades that you can attract the attention of the patron of the coming year. In any case, it's up to you. We will only talk about what modern stylists and designers offer to celebrate the New Year.

First, the material of the ladies' dress or men's suit must be natural. You should buy a new dress, and even better to sew it yourself, because the Bull patronizes needlework. New Year's dress should be elegant and, importantly, comfortable, because the Bull does not like pretentiousness, excessive splendor and welcomes convenience. Modest and elegant dresses and costumes - that's what you should focus on.

Men may not be bothered by choosing new clothes, but simply add an original accessory of the color of the coming year of the Bull (tie, neckerchief, etc.). By the way, young people can safely put on jeans and cowboy boots. The most important thing is that at the New Year's Eve 2009 your clothes favorably emphasize the merits of your figure, and skillfully hide the flaws.

Second, the color palette of New Year's outfits consists of white, cream and gray, green and brown, purple and lilac are also welcome, and purple is not excluded. Silver, blue and yellow shades will also be relevant on New Year's Eve. Thirdly, natural materials are also preferred in jewelry - precious metals, precious and semi-precious stones, shells, wood, feathers, leather and fur. Wooden beads, brooches, earrings are welcome. If you wear jewelry made of precious metals, then they should not be mixed with each other. Of the stones, yellow stones are the best fit - it is they that accompany the year of the Bull.

New Year is always an expectation of magical fairy-tale miracles, so let your makeup, dear ladies, be bright and evening.
