How to relax in January-February 2019. Organization of the New Year holidays

The vacation season is still very far away, so many are interested in when will be the next long weekend? This period will be the New Year holidays. How are we offered to relax in early 2019?

For most Russians, the New Year weekend will begin on Sunday, December 30th. This was made possible by moving the worker on December 31 to Saturday, December 29. Long winter holidays will last until January 8th.

New year weekend

Very often holidays alternate with workers. And this can impede a quality long rest. First of all, a small number of days off does not allow planning a trip to relatives or a trip. In addition, it is believed that 1-2 business days in the middle of the weekend is not productive enough. Therefore, the Ministry of Labor is trying to make such days as few as possible. And for this, work on such weekdays is postponed to the weekend.

The Russians are already accustomed to the fact that the government gives them the opportunity to rest for a week at the beginning of the year. This year, the number of weekends will be even greater. And all because the decision was made to postpone the working day from Monday, December 31 to the previous Saturday, December 29. Thus, the last working week of 2018 will be six days.

According to the production calendar, December 31 is a working day, but if you leave everything as it is, it will be the only one after 2 regular days off (Saturdays and Sundays) and before the traditional New Year holidays. Therefore, in order to give the Russians the opportunity to fully relax and implement all their plans, a similar decision was made.

It should be noted that Saturday December 29th will be pre-holiday, therefore, we will work 1 hour less than expected. For someone, this can be an excellent occasion to organize a New Year corporate party in the office.

Weekend in February

The next holiday after the New Year and Christmas in 2019 will be February 23. The tradition of celebrating it originated almost 100 years ago. But then he was considered more patriotic than festive. The people call this holiday Men's Day, when it is customary to congratulate men, guys and even little boys, all of whom can be called a defender.

How to spend this day, everyone decides for himself. The most popular and interesting options are:

• a trip to a cafe or restaurant;
• visit to the bathhouse, sauna or water park;
• attending a concert by a group or artist that a man likes;
• Homemade romantic dinner.

In 2019, February 23 falls on Saturday. And the Russians will rest only 2 days - Saturday and Sunday. But do not despair, as the Ministry of Labor decided next year to postpone this holiday weekend on May 10. Therefore, in the spring we have a long weekend for Victory Day.

How to spend the New Year holidays

In order to spend long January holidays with benefit, you need to think about the organization of leisure in advance. Some prefer to travel. This wonderful option will allow you not only to have fun and gain impressions for the whole year, but also to learn something new. And those who have little children can organize a real fairy tale for them and together go to Santa Claus. And for this it is not necessary to go to Lapland. Its residences are in Ustyug, Karelia and some other regions of Russia.

New Year holidays are a great time to visit relatives and friends. Many work hard throughout the year, so they sorely lack time for such meetings. It is during this period that visits to loved ones can become especially sincere.

A long weekend is also a great opportunity to get together as a family. If your rhythm of life does not allow you to spend much time with spouses or children, then during the holidays arrange a joint outing to the cottage, to the entertainment center or just take a walk in the nearest park or forest. Joint sporting events will not be superfluous. Perhaps you have long wanted to go skiing or ice skating, but you did not find the time for this. So now you will have it. Spend it to good use.

Many complain that the holidays, especially such long ones, negatively affect the figure and appearance. But you don’t have to spend all week at the festive table. Gyms work even on weekends. So why not go here, and it is possible that this will become a good habit for the whole year. Well, after the holidays you can surprise your colleagues with a fresh face and a cheerful spirit.

Rules for organizing the New Year holidays

Of course, long weekends provide a huge field for organizing leisure activities. But in order to really spend them with maximum benefit, you need to try a little:

1. It will be very useful to plan free time. When making a plan, you need to paint by the day when and what you plan to do. So you can do a maximum of useful things in a relatively short period of time.
2. But remember that such a schedule should not be too tight, otherwise the risk of not having time to do anything increases. Still, this is a weekend, so the plan should be slightly relaxed and allow rest and restore mental and physical strength.
3. Stick to the written points.

Any rest requires material costs and you need to be prepared for this. But, you must admit that the money consciously spent on impressions cannot be called a waste.
