Old New Year concludes a series of long winter holidays. This evening is a little different from the vibrant, vibrant December 31st with fireworks and fun. On January 14, the celebrators summarize, remember the beginning of the year and relive the newly remembered moments. And perhaps the most important issue and topic for jokes is such a controversial name - the old New Year.
The roots of the holiday go back to the glorious communist past, when the archaic Julian calendar caught up with the European counterpart - the Gregorian. Already more than a hundred years ago, in 1918, February 1, Russia suddenly abruptly became January 14!
Since then, folk celebrations have been enriched by another event - the old New Year, which is celebrated not only by those who adhere to Orthodox traditions and observe strict fasting these days, but also those who lack a little more holiday and warmth from their families on these cold winter days. and loved ones.
Together with Russia on this day, the neighbors Belarus and Ukraine pay tribute to the celebration, the neighboring countries - Serbia, Macedonia, Yugoslavia. Even Wales and Switzerland celebrate the traditional Julian festival with festivals and feasts. Why is this holiday, despite its long past, so popular in the 21st century?
The answer lies in the opportunity to spend as much time as possible with friends and family, to meet with colleagues after a long weekend in an informal setting. Old New Year is another opportunity to wish from the heart of all the best and warm to the people around. It is easy to create a fun and relaxed atmosphere with the help of the appropriate surroundings - funny toasts and wishes, humorous and sincere congratulations.
Funny and funny toasts
Not a single feast is complete without toasts. Someone loves improvisation, someone prepares in advance. A good toast is compact and accurate - just one or two jokes are enough for the delivered speech to be successful. And do not forget that the leader and the eldest of the guests make the first toast. It is better to make toasts no more often than after fifteen minutes, so that the guests gathered have time to relax, but do not forget about the festive mood!
