The First Christmas Toast - for Friends, for Familу
My dear relatives, I am glad to see you and to celebrate this New Year with you! They say that family can’t be chosen, but even if it were possible, I would choose you anyway. Let me raise the first toast for you: for parents, for children, for friends. After all, together - we are power!!!
Christmas Divination 2020
Christmas Wish List
Note
On Christmas in the US and Europe, adults and especially children make up their Christmas Wish List - a list of those gifts that they want to get.
The ritual is especially important for children, because it is funny and helps to increase the chances that the elves will have enough time to prepare the gift. By the way, for parents of "demanding kids". During October-November you can say your naughty kid, who tries to cajole you in the store, to add desired thing to the list. Then the kid will get it as a bonus - it brings up ability of waiting.
Adults like to work on such a list no less than children. It is an important karma thing. I tried this practice for the first time being a student. I liked it, because writing down what you want (thinking up and imagining) increase the possibility, that it will come true. It happens because idea gets into your subconscious. When fate gives you a chance to make your dreams come true - the subconscious and the wish list will not let you miss it.
Surely, the most of our guests will not prepare their wish lists. The fate has prepared for them the option "try your luck." And how lucky or not lucky our adults are, we will find out on New Year's Eve! We have a game to know this!
How to Make Christmas Divination with a Clock?
We take the clock from twister (great game!) and make Christmas clock of wishes. I needed an old red gift bag, green paper, thread (100 м cost $2.5) and New year stickers (90 штук $1.69)
Using a hole punch we make small holes on the edge, considering the number of participants. Then decorate it. Make paper labels and thread through it to hang it.
How should it be held?
- Method #1
Each is dealt a single label. Guests write a wish and hang it in one of the holes. Next, the clock hand spins and the wish indicated by the hand is destined to came true. - Method #2
Small cards with unique stickers. If the hand indicates the picture of the small card - the wish will come true.
I suggest spinning the hand three times. The divination promises that this three wishes are fated to come true. Those, who are not among the winners, should not be upset. After all, this does not mean that the clock predicted something bad to them

The Santa Claus Parade
In fact, it is a big and long procession, when Santa walks down the street with cartoon characters, elves, athletes and dancers. Music sounds, the parade participants convey congratulations to the spectators. Of course, this event is broadcast on local television and YouTube! In our case, this tradition can prepare the participants to the photo shoot.
В нашем же случае, эта традиция может стать отличной подводкой к новогодней фотосессии.
