It is enough to use a small part of these life hacks, and you will wait for the New Year more than for your birthday.
1. Send postcards to friends from other cities
Choose postcards with a New Year theme, sign each one and send it all over the world. The mere realization that a message written on paper is in a hurry to your friends should please and add 100 points to the expectation of the holiday.
2. Learn or compose a New Year song
Learning the words Jingle Bells, Christmas Is All Around, or other Christmas and New Year carols and singing them daily at home and on the road will lift your spirits. And having come up with a new song, you can surprise your friends.
3. Bake cookies
It doesn't matter if you've done it before or not. Gather a large company, take the first recipe you like - and off you go!
4. Play Secret Santu
Colleagues, classmates, or a group of friends are perfect. Big family? Fine. Decide on a budget and turn on your imagination: for the New Year, everyone wants something original. You can play on the Secret Santa website.
And if you don't want to use the Internet, play offline. The life hacker has collected the rules in a separate article.
5. Buy a New Year's sweater
The purchase process alone will fill your head with warm thoughts about the upcoming holidays. And there is no need to talk about wearing it!
6. Read
Bestsellers such as The Night Before Christmas, The Polar Express, How the Grinch Stole Christmas will help you feel that very New Year's atmosphere. Don't forget the blanket and hot chocolate!
7. Start the countdown
Have a calendar where you can cross out the days. The main thing is that the expectation of the holiday does not become more pleasant than the holiday itself.
8. Set New Year wallpapers
We look at the screen of a smartphone or computer more often than in a mirror. In our case, it is worth making it an advantage: New Year's wallpapers will add an atmosphere of magic to your life.
9. Buy and decorate a Christmas tree
The advice may be trivial, but it works 100%. The smell of pine needles, unpacking boxes with toys, buying garlands and decorations - the New Year is simply bound to come in the coming days! By the way, choosing a tree is a whole art.
10. Take a walk along the main streets
The administration decorates the city not only so that we can admire the lights from the windows of cars and buses. So take some time and walk around the center: it's amazingly beautiful there!
11. Buy gifts for loved ones
It's a pleasant process. Besides, if you hurry up, you can find good discounts. This also raises the mood.
12. And to myself
Why not? Is everything just different? You can give something to the most important and beloved person in this life. A small but pleasant gift will brighten up your expectation of the holiday.
13. Get the New Year's bedding
Falling asleep and waking up among snowflakes, Christmas trees and New Year's toys is a pleasure. You can check.
14. Make a snowman
Remember your childhood and take one of the next weekend active games. Upon returning home, the festive table will become your dream at least until the next snack.
15. Go shopping
Shopping centers on New Year's Eve are just a treasure! Everything shines: walls, ceilings, shop windows. New Year with new clothes! How do you like this motto?

18. Write a letter to Santa Claus
So what, what a long time over twenty! Santa Claus has his own mail. And the address is: 162390, Russia, Vologda Oblast, Veliky Ustyug, Father Frost's Mail.
There are no special rules. Just write a letter, glue the stamps, and drop it in the mailbox. And then wait for a miracle. What if Santa Claus reads the letter and fulfills his wish?
19. Buy a Santa Hat
So what? Many do this. If you can't look at a magic grandfather - become one yourself.
20. Arrange a photo session
It works with a bang. The atmosphere in any photo studio will make even those who hate it want the New Year. In addition, these are memorable photographs, it is always a pleasure to receive them.

Or just winter. Tangerines, cinnamon, anise, cloves, pine needles - these smells will definitely remind you of New Year's childhood stories, and a warm mood is guaranteed.
23. Decorate your home
Without this, too, nowhere. We spend half of our lives at work (by the way, we also recommend decorating a workplace), and half at home. Let a holiday await us at home, then the mood will be the same.
