Every day the new 2017 year of the Red Fire Rooster is approaching us. Each of us will try to spend the festive New Year's Eve as fun and joyful as possible, because how you celebrate the New Year is how you will spend it.
But how to meet the Fire Rooster correctly so that the coming year brings only happiness, good luck and harmony? will answer the question.
What will the year of the Fire Rooster bring?
The Red Fire Rooster will come into its own on January 28, 2017, with the onset of the Chinese New Year. According to astrologers, the Rooster in the eastern calendar is a symbol of renewal, the beginning of something new and unknown. Therefore, the coming year promises changes in the life of every person. The situation will change on a larger scale - in the country, as well as on the world stage. Well, whether these changes will be pleasant or not is in your hands.
In 2017, purposeful and persistent people will be very lucky. This is not a case where you hit a big jackpot out of nowhere. The Red Fire Rooster will only help those who do something to achieve their desires and show willpower.
It will not be easy to find mutual understanding and compromise in interpersonal relationships. This is due to the character traits of the owner of 2017. In the coming year, try not to take everything to heart and maintain a cool head in any conflict. And most importantly, this year is an opportunity for each of us to learn how to find compromises in conflict situations. There will also be strife on the world stage. According to astrologers, heads of state will now and then find out among themselves who is in charge.
Where and how to celebrate New Year 2017 - the year of the Red Fire Rooster
If you decide to travel in 2017, it is better to postpone the trip for at least a few days. This is because this sign of the eastern horoscope is an avid family man and homebody. This is what, according to astrologers, can bring harmony and mutual understanding to the family. If you can’t cancel your trip, then at least go with your family.
The most important rule this year is that you should never spend New Year’s Eve separately from your family. This can have a negative impact on relationships between family members. At the same time, if there are any disagreements and grievances, then it is better to sort them out before midnight. Otherwise, if you meet 2017 in a quarrel or with a secret grudge in your heart, then the owner of this year will be extremely dissatisfied and may teach you a lesson. Therefore, it is better to find a compromise, ask for forgiveness and make peace. During the celebration itself, you should not quarrel, it is better to restrain your ardor and in some situations it is better to simply remain silent, and later, after the holidays, when emotions have completely gone away, you can calmly talk and come to a common denominator. If it was a trifle, then it will be forgotten, and the relationship will not deteriorate.
The ideal option for celebrating the New Year 2017 is a large and cheerful company of friends. Invite exactly those people with whom you would like to rally in the coming year.
What to celebrate 2017 with
As you may have guessed, the main color of 2017, basically like the previous one, is red. At the same time, you don’t have to stop at classic red; you can buy an outfit in burgundy, scarlet and even all shades of pink. In general, astrologers say that the owner of 2017 will like all fiery shades, which means orange and yellow can be included in this list. If fiery shades are not your thing, then purple and blue would also be good colors. This will definitely attract the Rooster's attention.
If we talk about style, then this year the best option for girls will be asymmetrical outfits, and it doesn’t matter what it is - a skirt with a blouse, a dress or even a jumpsuit. But this year it is better for men to completely move away from the casual style and abandon funny T-shirts and torn jeans. Make sure you stand out and look original but elegant at the same time. Let it be a pullover or jumper with trousers, the main thing is that they only emphasize your masculinity. The same applies to women's attire - in it you should be feminine and gentle, and not flashy and daring. Save this image for later.
There should be neither too many nor too few accessories. It is very important in this regard to find a middle ground and it is better if there are fewer of them than necessary. Jewelry should only highlight your image and complement it. Therefore, it is not advisable to wear something flashy this year; stick to minimalism.
Gifts for the New Year 2017
Recently, handmade gifts have become increasingly popular. In this case, you can simply knit a scarf with a funny inscription, or even a sweater, or you can make something out of leather, for example, a wallet. It will be very interesting. You can also creatively decorate simple things that are considered small gifts. For example, paint a tea set with a special marker that is not erased from the dishes. You can draw a mustache, write a funny inscription, depict a funny animal and much more. It depends on your imagination. You can also buy a ready-made supply of socks and arrange them as a bouquet; such a gift will be very creative, but at the same time useful.
Electronics or pocket devices are always an appropriate gift. This includes a tablet, laptop, e-reader, navigator, portable battery. Instead of shaving foam and a razor, which have already become just a banal gift, you can give an electric razor or a special beard trimmer.

How we relax for the New Year 2016–2017
1. See the polar lights in the Khibiny Mountains
Where: Murmansk region, Kola Peninsula
To take off and fly to the Arctic for the New Year - you have to surprise yourself at least once in your life! And there is something to be surprised by on the Kola Peninsula. Instead of the metro there is an ATV safari, instead of Olivier and champagne there is a salad of sea cod tongues and Lapp grog, and instead of the Blue Light there is the Northern Lights. It is best to stay at the Kuelporr recreation center in the heart of Khibiny. In winter, they organize snowmobile transfers from Kirovsk, so the adventure begins as soon as you step off the ramp or step onto the platform.
How to get there: In winter, direct flights regularly depart from Moscow and St. Petersburg to the Khibiny airport Apatity-Kirovsk. You can also get from Moscow and St. Petersburg to the city of Apatity by train, and from Murmansk to the Kuelporr base - by car in 3.5 hours.
2. Go out
Where: Vienna, Austria
The ball season in Austria opens on November 11 with the Vienna Red Cross Ball in the town hall, and ends only before Lent. The main New Year's ball takes place in the dazzling Hofburg Palace. If you are lucky enough to be there on the night of December 31 to January 1, you will definitely feel like Cinderella or a prince.
To travel back a couple of centuries, hear the stars of the Vienna Opera, dance a square dance and lose your head from champagne, you need to buy a ticket. The cheapest include entrance to the ballrooms and a welcome glass of sparkling wine - they cost 70–155 euros.
Paying €215–385 will reserve your seat and enjoy canapés from the buffet. And tickets for 480–680 euros give you the right not only to spin in the Viennese waltz, but also to have a high-society dinner at your own table.

It is cheaper to rent a ball gown or tailcoat. Another good way to save money is to change the site. On New Year's dates, dozens of balls are held in Vienna: a live orchestra and a crystal hall in a luxury hotel will leave an impression no worse than the Hofburg, and you will spend less on it. If you extend your vacation in Vienna until the old New Year, for just 57 euros you can get to the colorful Flower Ball in the city hall.
How to get there: Find cheap flights to Vienna and book entry to the Hofburg Ball or another venue.
3. Ride a reindeer early in the morning in Lapland
Where: Lappi province, northern Finland
Often you spend a day talking to people and feel like a squeezed lemon. And if you spend the same time with animals, you’ll be a cucumber! To cheer up and believe in the best again, go visit the reindeer in Lapland - touch the velvet antlers, look for (and find!) understanding in huge kind eyes and ride through the snow in one team.
How to get there: The easiest way to get to one of the reindeer herding farms in Finland is beyond the Arctic Circle. First get to Rovaniemi - the center of the Lappi province. From there, 15 minutes by car to the Arctic Circle reindeer farm, 2 hours to Jäjakkola near the Pyhä-Luosto nature reserve and 3 hours to the Nulpon Nulkaus farm near Pallas-Yllästunturi Park.
4. Dance the night away
Where: Koh Phangan Island, Thailand
When was the last time you danced like no one was watching? That time in the shower doesn't count. If you feel like it's time to party so hard that the skies are shy, go to the Full Moon Party on Koh Phangan.
This year, beach discos in Asian Ibiza are scheduled for December 25 and 31, with an afterparty on January 1, 2017. These days, on the picturesque beach of Haad Rin Bay, there will be nowhere for a coconut to fall: partygoers from all over the world come to the Full Moon Party to compete in bikini competitions, pour superhuman doses of cocktails into themselves and dance until the morning.
In order not to overpay for a hotel on Koh Phangan, stay away from the beach or even on the mainland: it takes an hour and a half by ferry, but you will save a lot.
How to get there: The closest airport to Koh Phangan is on Koh Samui. From there, ferries and high-speed boats go to Phangan; the journey takes half an hour. The nearest mainland city is Surat Thani, low-cost airlines AirAsia, Nok Air and Thai Lion Air fly there from Bangkok. The ticket prices of these airlines are a treat in themselves. It turns out almost as cheap as getting from the Thai capital by bus and ferry, only 10 times faster.
5. Finally get on a snowboard
Where: Zakopane, Poland
Complaining about the cold, icicles and slush is boring; it’s much more fun to conquer snowy peaks. In expensive Alpine resorts the world is not like a wedge - go to the Tatras for New Year! In Zakopane, Poland, beginners will bury their fears in ski school lessons, and experts will hone their skills on the highest ski jump in Poland, Wielka Krokiew. In addition to 80 km of ski and snowboard trails, at the resort in the Tatras you will find snowmobiles, husky sleds and an ice skating rink - forget about relaxing on the sofa right away.
How to get there: The ski resort of Zakopane is located in southern Poland, 110 km from Krakow. It takes less than two hours to travel by car, and about three hours by bus or train.
6. Sail away from problems on a yacht
Where: Turkey, Greece, Canary Islands, Maldives, Cuba and further around the world
There will never be a good time to pamper yourself. Therefore, indulge in inappropriate times. While everyone around you is hissing about the crisis, and your boss is just looking for a reason to cut your salary, gather a group of your closest friends and pool your money to book a yacht in Turkey or Greece for the New Year.
A sailing vessel without a crew will cost less than a motorboat with a crew and helmsman. Another way to save on making your dreams come true is to join a cruise or deck party: they last several hours and cost the same as regular package excursions. For example, sailing the Aegean Sea in Greece for a whole week on a yacht with five cabins costs 3,700–4,700 euros.
And for a 4-hour New Year's cruise on the Bosphorus, a company of 12 people needs to pay only 500 euros for rent and about 60 euros each for food and drinks.
How to get there: When renting a yacht, you choose the pier from which your journey will begin. If you are planning a short New Year's cruise, check into a coastal hotel - then you will be picked up for the floating party directly from the hotel.
7. Spit out emotions at the Kamchatka volcanoes
Where: Kamchatka region, Russian Far East
Yes, far away. Yes, it's expensive. But after a helicopter ride through the Valley of Geysers and a dip in the hot springs overlooking the volcano, life will never be the same. It’s difficult to get ready for “this strange place of Kamchatka,” but if you decide, the trip will pay off in full.
Here you can change the course of time: stop rushing and fussing, let go of the past, feel the present and see the future. And also celebrate the New Year twice: local time - first in Russia! - and in your own way.
How to get there: By plane to Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, and then by helicopter or SUV. There are no railways in Kamchatka.
8. Celebrate the New Year at a lighthouse in the middle of the Adriatic
Where: Croatia
If you have been thinking about living in a lighthouse for a long time, make your dream come true on New Year 2017. After such a romantic start, the year simply cannot turn out dull. The lighthouse can be rented in Spain, Italy, Norway and even the Shetland Islands. But the closest and cheapest thing is to settle in the middle of the Adriatic in Croatia.
There are more than a dozen lighthouse hotels, but only three of them have heating. In winter, you can stay at the ancient 42-meter Veli Rat on the island of Dugi Otok, in the secluded Struga lighthouse on the island of Lastovo, or spend the night at the Savudrija lighthouse on the Istrian peninsula. In any case, you will envy yourself.
How to get there: Buy inexpensive air tickets to Croatia, and then by car or bus. The closest airport to the lighthouses is Zadar. It takes a little longer to get from Split airport.
9. Listen to the Universal Mind
Where: art park "Nikola-Lenivets", Kaluga region
Until the age of 43, the only Moscow member of the Leningrad art group “Mitki” Nikolai Polissky painted simple-minded landscapes. And then he took it and turned into the brightest land artist in Russia. Now his futuristic installations in nature appear in France, Italy, Spain and Luxembourg. And in the Nikola-Lenivets Park in the Kaluga region you can even live among the whimsical creations of Polissky and other wonderful sculptors and architects.
4 days from December 31, 2016 to January 3, 2017 in a hostel, Clever house or guest house in Koltsovo will cost approximately 22 thousand rubles per person. This amount includes three meals a day and a holiday program.
How to get there: The largest art park in Europe, Nikola-Lenivets, is located 80 km from Kaluga and 220 km from Moscow. If you don’t have a car, you can get there by train or bus. From the Kievsky railway station there are trains to the Maloyaroslavets and Kaluga-1 stations - any one is suitable for you, then change to a taxi. From the Teply Stan metro station every day at 14:30 buses depart to Kondrovo, from where it is an hour's drive to Nikola-Lenivets.
10. Harness the kite on the crest of a wave
Where: Mui Ne, Vietnam
In one “out to sea” kitesurfers tame two elements at once - air and water. If you also think that this is just fire, get off the ground and head for Vietnam. In the local water sports capital of Mui Ne, there are dozens of schools that teach you how to handle a kite and waves at the same time. Windchimes Kitesurfing, Kite&Surf and many others employ Russian-speaking instructors. The dry season with strong winds in Mui Ne lasts from approximately November to May, so going here for New Year is the best time.

How to get there: By plane to Ho Chi Minh City or Nha Trang, from there by taxi or bus to Mui Ne.
11. Rock with the Vikings
Where: Edinburgh, Scotland
“Braveheart”, Potter, “Outlander” - usually the history and landscapes of Scotland are known from films and TV series. No wonder: an hour's drive from the country's capital stands Doune Castle, where Winterfell from Game of Thrones was filmed, and not far from the Glencoe Valley stands Bond's family home, Skyfall Lodge.
To see movie locations live and find out how the Celts lived before and how the Scots live now, come to Edinburgh. After an elegant Catholic Christmas with mulled wine and fairs, pagan Hogmanay is celebrated here. On New Year's Eve, the Scots organize torchlight processions in Viking costumes, drive out evil spirits with fire and set off fireworks - in a word, they burn in such a way that it is a shame to be left out.

How to get there: There are no direct flights from Russia to Edinburgh, but you can fly with a transfer - via Paris, Amsterdam, Munich or London.
12. Cross the equator and get to the pink flamingos
Where: Kenya
In place of whiners from work are strong-willed Masai, in place of yard cats and dogs - royal lions and friendly giraffes, in place of a computer with a dried cactus - a view of Kilimanjaro and baobabs. If you are mentally and financially ready for the main trip of your life, cross the line and go to Kenya. Beyond the equator there is a saying: “Better a flamingo by the lake than a bird in the hand.”
How to get there: Find the cheapest flights to Kenya and pre-book safari tours and a room at Giraffe Manor for a radical change of scenery and breakfast with giraffes.
13. Fashion a New Year's fairy tale from marzipan
Where: Tallinn, Estonia
In order for something to change inside, it is not necessary to fly to distant lands or climb mountains. It happens that it all starts with a simple new habit: I just started working out my abs in bed in the morning, and after two weeks a different person does it. The same thing happens when you start a hobby for which you need to be able to do something with your hands. An excellent option is modeling from marzipan. You will be taught this art in a day at a master class in the Tallinn Marzipan Gallery: as a result, you will get a feast for your hands, eyes and stomach.

But the main feature of the local New Year's bustle is the National Christmas Lottery, which has been running since 1812, more than two centuries ago.
For a Spaniard, missing out on this prank is the same as for a Russian not making a bowl of Olivier for the New Year: loved ones won’t understand, and he himself will feel bad. You can get a lucky ticket in Spain at every step of the way: they are sold in shops, cafes and just on the streets. May you be lucky!

Choose light flowing fabrics for your outfit, such as satin, chiffon, silk, you can allow brocade and velvet, all sorts of light fabrics with iridescence... now there are a lot of such things that have been invented, there is plenty to choose from, just go to textile stores!
You have already chosen the model - great! Now remember and remember that the owner of the year 2017 is the fiery Rooster! And this means... that New Year's dresses and suits must necessarily match the bright image! Fiery, which means the tones of the dresses should be all red shades, let’s add blue, green, purple and EVEN silver-gray, but how can we do without gold?! Why do other tones join the main fiery shades? And somehow you sit by the fire or fireplace and take a good look at the dancing flames... all the different shades you won’t see there! And if so, then the color range immediately increases!
Well, if the situation is completely hopeless and you have nothing but a black outfit, deign to work hard and add some bright and colorful detail to your New Year’s outfit, or even better, several.
Don't forget about jewelry and accessories! Women and men, I repeat: do not forget about jewelry and accessories!!!
Women can decorate themselves with both precious and semi-precious jewelry; the Rooster loves everything shiny. You can safely wear earrings with all kinds of rings: large and small, straight and twisted, purely metal and decorated with all kinds of stones! Bright handbags studded with rhinestones, sparkles, glitter and, for special fashionistas, Swarovski stones...
Don't be shy when choosing jewelry, but don't overdo it! You are not a Christmas tree, but a sweet young lady who wants to have a lot of fun! What is “too much” is not healthy - remember this! Despite the seeming clumsiness and brightness, you must find a middle ground and look, albeit brilliant and bright, but at the same time - ELEGANT!
It’s easier for men, they just need to attach bright cufflinks to a regular suit, put on a bright tie, a ring with a stone on the finger, patent leather shoes - that’s it, the look is ready and you can safely go meet the symbol of 2017 - the red Rooster!
Not all males wear tuxedos and suits! It is simply unrealistic and completely unreasonable to force many people to wear such an outfit! For such lovers of “freedom” and “simplicity” the Rooster will open his arms even wider, because he does not like constraining circumstances, tight clothing, conventions...
A bright jumper, comfortable jeans, an unusual golf shirt in golden or beige tones (these are also fiery colors), beige shoes, a gold or silver chain around the neck, a watch... Men also have something to wear and show!
New Year's hairstyles 2017
Freedom, freedom and freedom again! Freedom in everything, including hairstyles! For ladies, “freedom” means loose hair, freely falling and flowing...
There are many models of hairstyles where flowing hair is intertwined and slightly restrained by openwork braids. Even if you have a short haircut, Cockerel will like it (he has one too). You can create a “classic mess” on your head by laying your hair in different directions or lifting it up and slightly askew...
It's easier for men again! He picked up the “Hedgehog”, combed the “Hedgehog”... Very few representatives of the male half can boast of long hair! And if you are the owner, then everything is simple, take the example of the ladies - loosen the traditional ponytail.
What to expect from the Rooster in 2017?
We are looking forward to fun chores, colorful events, great prospects (however, don’t get carried away and keep your ears open - there are different jokes, some funny and some not so funny). Basically, the year promises to be successful for most signs.
However, the Rooster is a fair creature and will not tolerate lies, deception, rudeness and humiliation! Values dedication and diligence! Therefore, advice for everyone: if you want to be successful, successful, loved and happy, treat your neighbors (everyone without exception, to the best of your ability) the way you would like people to treat you! This year's motto is: What goes around comes around! So let's SOW goodness, love, smiles, good wishes, good deeds! A very decisive year! Could impact the next 10 years! Be careful and careful!
Advice: instead of quarreling, whining and blaming and condemning someone for something, do the following:
- Learn to smile with all your heart;
- Learn to get up every morning and be happy about something. Repeat the same procedure before going to bed, remembering all the positive events! Don't think about negativity at all!
- Learn to say kind words and wishes (you can start right on New Year’s Eve by playing such a “game” with the whole honest company);
- Help others and accept help yourself;
- Take risks (this does not mean playing poker or roulette), look for yourself in something new. Don't despair if something doesn't go quite right... IT'S OKAY! Get up again and try;
- Do sports, yoga, breathing exercises
These are not all the options for positive pastime that can play a cardinal role in 2017 - the year of the Fiery Red Rooster and can turn your life around! And in which direction it (life) will turn will depend only on you and no rooster will have anything to do with it! Clothes, hairstyles, accessories have been sorted out, there is still a New Year's table, fun games and, of course, GIFTS!!!
What should be on the New Year's table in 2017
We are already starting to suffer from the question: WHAT to put on the New Year's table?
Yes, the tables should simply be “overflowing”... However, overflowing with light and delicious dishes, all kinds of fruit salads, fresh juices, mousses, exotic fruits and “overseas”, hitherto unexplored snacks! No aspic or aspic!
We ate a fruit salad - dance, ate chocolate-covered strawberries - played games, drank a juice and washed it all down with champagne - forward under the tree to the central square of the city, danced in circles...
Drinks should also be prepared lightly, from alcoholic drinks - wine! Vodka-cognacs are too heavy and can play a not very funny joke, at which some will have to laugh evilly, and who will cry bitterly, the option of laughing until you cry is also suitable!
We decorate the table with light golden or silver candles made by ourselves! Red and yellow are also suitable, the main thing is that there are sparkles and fire! Floating candles have come into fashion, which will certainly interest the Fire Rooster! Greens can be used not only as food, but also as a holiday decoration; the hostess of the year loves it and will definitely appreciate it - another point in your favor!
Games 2017 on New Year's Eve
Playing and participating in everything is a prerequisite for celebrating a favorable year for yourself! New Year is a holiday for everyone! Like love, everyone of literally all ages submits to him! Therefore, two, three, and maybe four generations will meet at once during the celebration! You need to take advantage of this and come up with SUCH games that could be suitable for any age category!
We bring to your attention fun games:
"Rune Letter"
For this game, stock up on a large notebook with tear-off sheets and pens. The game takes place right at the festive table: all participants are given leaves from a notebook and pens. Everyone’s task is to draw with symbols some kind of request addressed to their neighbor at the table, and there should be no letters at all.
Phrases should be in the following style: Pass me the fork; Give me a couple more bananas; Pour in grape juice; Place another cake;
Treat your child to a cake...
There are many options and they are invented right there, at the table! And then, amidst everyone’s laughter, one after another all the players try to fulfill what is written in the “runes” near the person sitting...
Zoo
This game is also considered a table game! All its participants draw small “forfeits”, in which the name of the animal is written, which the player needs to depict eating food.
Example of animals:
- Elephant - the player's hand-nose first carefully sniffs, and then grabs food and with great difficulty tries to get into his mouth;
- The tiger, growling confidently and slightly impudently, takes a chicken leg or a piece of leg from under the nose of the “stunned” neighbor (from his plate). He responds to the neighbor's indignant look with a warning growl and slowly eats his prey (that is, the chicken leg) with pleasure.
Translator
Again, you need to give all participants a piece of paper and a pen. Each player writes a holiday wish, phrase or phrase on a New Year's theme. Having written it, he passes the piece of paper to his neighbor, and he must “translate” the phrase in other words, while managing to fully preserve the meaning of what was said:
- May the New Year bring a lot of happiness - I wish that the next 366 days bring joy and prosperity to everyone;
- Father Frost and Snow Maiden brought gifts - The frozen but kind old man and his granddaughter prepared a pleasant surprise for everyone...
Choose any word forms, the main thing is that they are New Year’s themed, you can write something about the Mistress of the Year “through connections”!
Rope
This is not the kind of string that... Both adults and children can play with this string. And play together, having fun and not being embarrassed!
Prepare a skein of bright threads for knitting, a list of animals, and let everyone try to lay out on the table (or on the floor) using only one thread and a finger any animal that fell to them by lot...
PRIZES await the winners of all games!
Naturally, “sweet” prizes await our little players, in the form of sweet candy, chocolate, cake...
Older adults will be happy with a pen, a keychain, a small cockerel - the symbol of the year...
And don't be shy to be yourself! Have fun, play - when will such an opportunity arise again?
We give New Year gifts 2017
Everyone loves gifts! Especially children! Gifts for children need to be prepared in advance by conducting “reconnaissance in force” called “Letter to Santa Claus.” All kinds of New Year's sweets and fruits would also be appropriate. And then - according to abilities and inclinations: for some - a doll and a house for it in addition, for others - a bicycle, for others - blocks or construction sets, a new phone, a flash drive... A MOPED, cosmetics!
Women will be happy to receive all kinds of jewelry, outfits, accessories... everything that they looked at for so long and with lust through store windows, but could not decide to buy...
Men will appreciate the pre-prepared watches, razors, exclusive cufflinks and tie pins, the tie itself, the telephone, as well as the tradition... LACES AND SOCKS!
FOR THE HOME, you can give something from kitchen appliances, a new huge plasma, or a piece of furniture... a car, finally...
We make gifts as much as our salary will allow us - just like in the song - and if it (salary) does not allow us to make gifts (expensive, I mean)... then make symbolic ones with your own hands... BUT DO THE SAME, don’t sleep!!! Then it will be worse - there is a whole year ahead. More than once or twice you will be reminded of the absence of any gift on a festive night!)
AND THE MOST IMPORTANT: don’t forget to “invite” Santa Claus!!! If you want one, you want it with the Snow Maiden, the ideal option is with the mistress of the year, the Rooster! No Grandfather? Then get out the costumes and act everything out like clockwork! No one will notice the change, everyone will be happy. happy and cheerful!!!
Celebrate, have fun, enjoy life this New Year 2017! You’ve already read how to celebrate, what to cook... And one more thing: give each other compliments and gifts! The more joy your family and friends receive from you, the more favorable the Fire Rooster will be towards you, just know that!

Every day there is less and less time left until 2017. On New Year's Eve, the Red Monkey will be replaced by the Fire Rooster. That is why it is worth figuring out how to properly celebrate this winter holiday in order to appease the symbol of next year.
What to expect from 2017?
Despite the fact that the Fire Rooster will enter into its legal rights only on January 28, 2017, at the onset of the Chinese New Year, it is worth properly preparing for its meeting in advance.
According to astrologers, the Rooster is considered a symbol of renewal in the eastern calendar, and is a significant symbol of something new. That is why this year brings its own changes for every person.
At the same time, the situation must change not only in the lives of each of us, but also on a more global level: in the country, and in the whole world. True, how pleasant all these changes will be concerns exclusively humanity itself.
If you want to know how to celebrate the New Year 2017, it’s worth looking at the latest information. First, you need to decide on the meeting place of this holiday. Anyone wishing to vacation abroad should postpone their long-awaited trip for at least a few days.
The thing is that the Fire Rooster is by nature a homebody and a real family man. If you need complete harmony in your family and mutual understanding between all its members, you should celebrate New Year's Eve at home. True, there are times when a trip cannot be cancelled.
In this case, it’s worth going there with the whole family.
It is also important to sort out any disagreements or grievances before the New Year, otherwise the Fire Rooster may teach you a lesson. Find a compromise, make peace or ask for forgiveness - this is important.
During New Year's Eve itself, it is also important to restrain your ardor and remain silent even in the most piquant situations. It’s better to throw out all the emotions afterwards.
Ideally, you should welcome 2017 with a large and friendly company, so that the fun does not stop until the morning.
To do this, you should invite to your home exactly those people with whom you would like to become closer in the next year.
What to wear to celebrate the year of the rooster?
As is already clear from the name of 2017, its main colors will be: red, yellow, gold, orange and all their shades.
That is why it is worth choosing an outfit for New Year’s Eve in this particular color palette. According to astrologers, the owner of the coming year will like all shades of fire, so vary it.
Otherwise, you can pay attention to blue and purple colors.
If we talk about the style of a woman’s outfit for such an occasion, then it is best to use something asymmetrical. In this case, it does not matter at all what exactly you will be wearing.
The main thing is that it looks feminine and as natural as possible. It's time for men to give up their everyday torn jeans and loose shirts.
On New Year's Eve, a male representative should look original and at the same time elegant.
It’s best not to overdo it with accessories, but you should still have them on. Jewelry chosen to match your look should complement it and not overwhelm it, so think about the best option. It is best to stick to minimalism rather than flashy pretentiousness.
Festive table menu
When thinking ahead about ideas for New Year's dishes, you shouldn't limit yourself in anything. Absolutely anything can be on the table at the 2017 meeting. Most of all, the Fire Rooster will like seafood, meat dishes, salads, snacks and fish.
It’s very good to put meat and fish next to each other, and then in the coming year you can significantly increase your income. At the same time, under no circumstances prepare anything from semi-finished products, otherwise you may seriously anger the symbol of the coming year. This includes purchasing ready-made food from restaurants.
At least once a year, don’t be too lazy to prepare delicious homemade food, even if it comes to rolls or pizza.
The real highlight of the New Year's table should be sweets. It's time to show your skills in this matter and prepare your own signature recipe for the most delicious pie. But in order to have money in the house throughout 2017, you must definitely put a bowl of fruit on the table.
Proper table setting and decoration
On New Year's Eve there must be candles on the festive table, preferably in candlesticks. It is also worth setting the table with red elements: napkins, tablecloth, floral arrangements or rooster figurines.
It is worth recalling that for the Red Monkey, the mistress of 2016, pretentiousness was in the foreground. The Fire Rooster prefers restraint in everything, although no less noticeable. Therefore, tinsel, rain and various bright accessories should be on the festive table, but everything in moderation.
It is very important not only to properly decorate the table itself, but also to spend a little time on the appearance of each individual dish. It is also worth serving a treat that will be decorated completely with something red: pomegranate, caviar or tomato.
additional information
The Fire Rooster does not deny alcohol, so it is on the New Year's table, but its excess can greatly anger the wayward sign. Therefore, it is worth trying to keep yourself in check - it is better to celebrate as you want the very next evening.
Even when celebrating the New Year 2017, it is worth raising a glass to the Fire Rooster who has come into your life. Be sure to say that you have been waiting for this year for a long time, and you want your common union with it to be productive over the next 12 months. This obstinate sign loves attention to his person, so he will not leave such a step without due attention.
Be sure to find a pair for New Year's Eve. The rooster is a family bird, so he does not like being alone. It doesn’t matter at all whether you broke up with someone or are simply used to living alone. On this day, everyone should be infinitely happy, so just look around - your person is very close.
In all other respects, New Year's Eve should sparkle with a wonderful mood, buzz with a large group of people and not be silent with happy laughter. Try to spend it this way, and then 2017 will become significant for you.

Celebrating the New Year 2017: how to please the Fire Rooster
Every day the most beloved and anticipated holiday is approaching - New Year. Very soon the Red Monkey will hand over the reins of power to the Fire Rooster. To achieve his patronage, you need to try hard and please him on New Year's Eve.
The choice of outfit plays a significant role in this. Think in advance about what to wear to celebrate the holiday in order to earn the favor of the fashionable Rooster. Pay attention to the dishes - the patron of 2017 can be picky. But first things first!
Year of the Rooster
Before making plans on how to celebrate the New Year of the Rooster 2017, you need to find out what this bird of the eastern horoscope represents.
This is a very interesting person! Unlike the Monkey, who loves to travel and have fun, the Rooster is a gallant gentleman who devotes all his time to caring for his family.
He is a tireless worker, so next year everyone will have to be active and work hard.
In addition, the guy is a terrible bully, a fighter and will not allow anyone to encroach on his territory. He loves home, family and feels like a full-fledged owner in it, and sometimes even a dictator. It's better not to argue with him. Since the Rooster is a supporter of family values, celebrate the holiday at home surrounded by loved ones, and he will be favorable to you.
The Red Rooster is independent, prefers bright shiny colors and appreciates brave people. At the same time, he does not tolerate confusing situations and difficulties. During the year of the Fire Rooster, try to be simpler, and he will appreciate it.
The fiery owner will bring colorful, global events into his domain that are significant for all people. They will give peace and harmony, because the Rooster stands guard over goodness. Its element is fire, in which many troubles will burn, clearing a place for a happy life. The red color of the flame represents the power, strength, forward movement and leadership inherent in the Rooster.
This is the patron of the coming year. He has a capricious character, so it’s worth thinking about how to celebrate the holiday correctly. This will help you constantly feel the care of the handsome Rooster.
How to celebrate the holiday?
To attract the attention of the Fire Lord and receive happiness from him as a gift, try to choose clothes that he will like. The symbol of next year will definitely please:
- red and yellow colors;
- green and blue shades;
- orange, white or terracotta outfit.
The right color scheme will let the Rooster know what hopes you have for him.
- If a girl dreams of having a child and improving her financial situation, a bright red dress will suit her.
- A blue tint will help strengthen family and love. It will also bring good luck to careerists. By wearing these colors on New Year's Eve, you can secure a promotion.
- Wealth and success in all endeavors will be given by bright yellow clothes and all shades of gold. And if you weave a blue color scheme into it, the Rooster will definitely notice this and make you happy with a large monetary profit.
The main criteria for what to wear for the New Year 2017 are brightness and elegance. The Rooster is a fan of expensive chic things and shiny accessories. Save your favorite black cocktail dress for another occasion. The symbol of the year will not appreciate minimalism and may even be offended. But a provocative bright outfit is what you need for New Year's Eve.
Think carefully about your look and choose the right jewelry. The ideal accessories to celebrate the occasion are gold and precious stones. The Rooster notices every little detail, so the hairstyle, shoes, handbag, and makeup must be on point.
When choosing clothes, do not forget that the owner of 2017 loves beautiful natural fabrics. Dresses made of satin, silk or brocade are perfect for the New Year. And in a dress made of cherry or coral velvet, every girl will be irresistible and beautiful. You can choose any style, the main thing is that it does not hinder movement and does not interfere with the fun of celebrating the New Year.
When dressing up, don't overdo it. The image should be luxurious, not pretentious. In addition, the Rooster is very jealous. It is important for him to remain the most beautiful, so beware of making him jealous.
For men, it is better to wear a regular dark suit and a bright burgundy or gold shirt. You should not celebrate the holiday in home clothes. The Rooster values neatness and elegance in men and does not give them any concessions.
When dressing for the holiday, remember that the owner of the year hates cats, so avoid even a hint of this animal in your outfit. The fire patron will not approve of the predatory ornament on the dress, the tiger-colored belt and other similar attributes.
What to cook for the table?
The host of 2017 is a connoisseur of elegance, and this should be taken into account when setting the table for the holiday. We have collected the main points that will not go unnoticed by the Red Rooster below.
- It is better to choose a plain tablecloth. You can use white, pink, golden shades.
- Opt for linen napkins to match the tablecloth. If you prefer paper ones, then buy white ones. Place a few of them on each plate.
- The dishes on the table should be made of natural materials. The rooster prefers glass, ceramics, wood and does not tolerate cheap plastic plates.
- It would not be a bad idea to place a treat for the symbol of the New Year in the center of the table. This could be a saucer with sprouted grains of wheat or oats.
Don't forget to decorate the table with bright attributes. Golden candles are perfect. They will add mystery to the atmosphere and wonderfully highlight the New Year's interior.
In order not to be mistaken about what to cook for the New Year of the Rooster 2017, decide what should not be on the table under any circumstances.
The patron will not forgive if you dare to eat his relatives for the holiday. Therefore, you cannot cook chicken dishes at a feast. Replace them with fresh fruits, a variety of salads and side dishes.
The more you put on the table, the more appetizing it will look.
The Fire Rooster is not a supporter of fried, too fatty foods. Try to replace them with something unusual, airy, and the grace of the elegant bird will be ensured all year.
For dessert, you can prepare a salad of exotic fruits, strawberries in sauce, and bright colorful jelly. It’s nice to eat such dishes in the company of friends.
They give lightness and good mood - this is exactly what the Fire Rooster needs.
How to decorate a house?
When preparing for the holiday, it is important not only to choose a chic outfit, but also to figure out how to decorate your house for the New Year 2017. An atmosphere of joy and good mood should be felt in every corner of your home.
The Fire Rooster, finding himself on the threshold of the apartment, will immediately feel this and understand that the owners love the New Year and will be imbued with goodwill towards you.
To please him even more, when choosing decoration, give preference to bright shiny accessories.
- Try to decorate your apartment with fluffy airy garlands and glowing lanterns. Diversify the decor with beautiful snowflakes and balls. Think through all the little details so that the shades of the decoration harmoniously intertwine into the interior and add mystery and grace to it.
- The Rooster is a connoisseur of home warmth and comfort. He'll probably love the soft throws on the sofa and armchairs, the cheerful fire in the fireplace, and other rustic decor that can be used to decorate the room.
- If you are fond of handicrafts, New Year's Eve is the ideal opportunity to show your work to guests and the Red Rooster. Hang beaded flowers and bright paintings of your own on the walls. Place a small figurine of a rooster along with his family in the most prominent and honorable place. They can be sewn from colorful fabric or crocheted. They will look great under the tree, on a coffee table or even on a holiday table.
The New Year's interior will be emphasized by large red apples in wicker baskets. The color of the flame is the main symbol of 2017, so it should be used as much as possible to attract good luck.
Decorating the Christmas tree and windows
Since the Rooster likes everything catchy and original, you need to think about how to decorate the Christmas tree in an unusual and stylish way. Take care to purchase or make figurines of hens and chicks. Hang them in the center of the tree.
The whole family can create them by making bells from colored cardboard and stars from shiny foil.
Edible toys will be an equally original decoration. Make tiny Christmas trees, balls or hearts from ginger dough. Cover with bright glaze and decorate the forest beauty. Don’t forget to hang a fiery rooster figure on the top of the tree. Let him watch with his keen eyes how you will have fun and celebrate the holiday.
Beautifully painted windows bring joy to everyone around you. Before the holiday, you have a huge field for creativity. Draw a winter landscape on the windows: cozy little houses, hens and cockerels walking around the snowy yard. Traditional figurines of Santa Claus, Snowman, and hares wouldn’t hurt either.
If you don't know how to draw, don't worry. It's easy to decorate windows using a stencil. You can buy a New Year's ornament in a store or print out several patterns downloaded from the Internet on a printer.
Golden stars, raspberry hearts, and green balls cut out of shiny paper perfectly convey the festive atmosphere. Glued to the glass with special glue, they highlight the New Year's decor.
What to give for the holiday?
Gifts are an important part of the holiday. With all the hassle, there is little time left to choose them. To choose gifts for relatives and colleagues without haste, think about what to give for the New Year 2017 a few weeks before the celebration.
It is advisable to reflect the symbolism inherent in the Fire Rooster in the prepared surprise. The gift must be catchy, original and must carry positive notes. Try to have red or golden shades predominate in it. An excellent present for a girl would be:
- gold jewelry;
- bright jewelry;
- ceramic dishes painted with figurines of cockerels;
- fiery scarf.
Recently, original blankets, knitted scarves, and hats with unique patterns have been in fashion. You can give them to your loved ones, they will warm them during the long winter and show them how much you love them.
Creative New Year's gifts are easy to make yourself. Interesting gift ideas:
- pillows for the home, decorated with applications in the form of snowflakes or a rooster;
- kitchen towels with embroidered New Year's symbols;
- photo frame for a family photo (cover it with beads, stones, Christmas tree ornaments);
- candles cast from wax with your own hands;
- laptop or tablet cases, sewn and decorated with love.
Give your work colleagues something symbolic and pleasant. These can be themed refrigerator magnets, notepads, mugs or figurines of the Fire Rooster.
The New Year should be celebrated to the fullest. Therefore, have fun and enjoy life, rewarding your loved ones with compliments and gifts. The more you make, the more favorable the owner of 2017 will be to you, you’ll see!
This year the Fire Rooster will rule the roost, a bird with character that loves to be the center of attention. This is a sign that will pay attention to every little thing. Therefore, this year, in order for the betta to fall in love with your home, you need to try to carefully prepare.
Decorate not only the area around the Christmas tree, but the entire house. The holiday should be felt everywhere, even in the bathroom. To do this, it will be enough to place a small vase with sweets or decorate a mirror with tinsel.
Objects that you create with your own hands will carry a special energy. In addition, the Rooster will appreciate your work. Cut out snowflakes and hang them on walls or chandeliers. Using gouache and varnish, you can paint large balls and hang them on furniture and chandeliers.
Light small decorative candles or the so-called USB lamp in the form of an LED candle with multi-colored lighting and swirling sparkles inside. They will add a magical atmosphere to your home.
Decorate the windows of your home with garlands so that the holiday can be felt not only at home, but also outside.
Soft capes and blankets on the sofa and armchairs will add New Year's comfort to your home.
Place cockerel figurines around the house, they will leave the symbol of 2017 - the Fire Rooster - happy.
Don’t forget about the colors, the most successful ones are white, red, gold and green.
One of the most common and favorite accessories for the New Year are pine cones. You can decorate them in different ways. For example, paint it some bright color or just white, and then sprinkle it with glitter or artificial snow.
Printed New Year wishes will be a real surprise for your family members. On the Internet you can find various beautiful phrases, these can be wishes, congratulations, gratitude, and advice for the next year. You can print them on brown paper, wrap them beautifully, secure them with green or golden ribbons and decorate them with small spruce branches. The surprise should be on the New Year's table near the plate.

If you decide to combine business with pleasure, then feel free to buy a small tree in a pot and decorate it with small toys. It will overwinter at home, and in the spring it can be planted in the country or just in the yard.
How you celebrate the New Year is how you will spend it
Many people believe: “How you celebrate the New Year is how you will spend it.” But there are also those who do not pay any attention to traditions and rules. Astrologers advise not to tempt fate this year and not to offend the selfish Rooster. We bring to your attention five basic New Year's rules that must be followed.
Don’t forget ten minutes before the New Year, take a red or yellow candle, light it, say goodbye to the old year and mentally transfer to the fire all the negative thoughts or negative moments that happened in the past. As soon as the New Year comes, you should ask for a lit candle so that everything will be fine in the coming year.
Buy two figures - a monkey and a rooster. Place a banana near the monkey, and grains of bread or corn near the rooster.
Mekvle (as in Georgia they call the person who will be the first to enter the house on the New Year) must bring with him a small handful of wheat. This is a symbol of wealth and reproduction, so it is desirable that the mekvle enter the house with wheat.

Place an oriental tree, that is, a tangerine tree or a twig. This is a very positive factor, astrologers are sure. Chichilaki should also take its place of honor next to the traditional Christmas tree and tangerine tree.
An important detail this year is a sprig of rowan. All birds love her, including roosters. Rowan is considered one of the best protectors of the family from external negative energy, and in Scandinavia it is considered a symbol of love.
Don't forget to buy a new broom to live in abundance next year. This is a very old tradition, which our ancestors attached great importance to. You can tie a broom with a red or golden ribbon, this will please the Rooster.
New Year's table
In Georgia, the table, be it New Year's, wedding or other, is given great importance. The New Year's table is full of a variety of dishes, the only limitation this year is poultry. You can put pork and beef dishes on the New Year's table, but not chicken or turkey.

Beer is the only drink that the Rooster does not like, so it is advisable that it not be on the table at all. Astrologer Mikhail Tsagareli advises making sure to make some kind of cocktail.
“The word itself - “cock” in English means rooster. “Cock tail” - “rooster tail”. This is a famous drink of the 17th century, which was made on the basis of ale and rooster broth. Therefore, it will be good if we make this drink and please the rooster ", Tsagareli said.
The Rooster hates restraint, so you will have to try to make a luxurious table for him. Considering the traditional character of the rooster, the astrologer advises everyone to celebrate the New Year with their family, at home, and then go on a visit or to a restaurant.
New Year's fashion
The Cockerel will be favorable to all those people who like to dress up and twirl in front of the mirror, but those who do not pay attention to their appearance may anger the owner of 2017. Try to look especially beautiful and elegant next year. By doing this, you will not only attract the attention of the Fire Rooster, but will also pleasantly surprise the people around you.

It will be good if you give preference to dresses made of silk, velvet, linen, and satin.
Another hot topic is the bow. They can not only decorate a dress, trousers or shoes, but also use them as a headband or belt.
Feathers - you can decorate a dress, a hat with them, or simply braid them in your hair. The Rooster loves everything natural and precious, so if you celebrate the New Year in stones such as aquamarine, sapphire, zircon, coral, as well as yellow and red jasper, they will surround you with positive energy.
What to expect from the Fire Rooster
Although astrologers talk about big changes, tensions and unpredictability, 2017 promises to be interesting and memorable. The Year of the Fire Rooster begins on January 28, at exactly 4 o'clock and 8 minutes at night. Based on the fact that we celebrate the New Year on December 31, the Fire Monkey will still rule the roost at this time, so we must take into account certain trends of 2016.
Since the rooster is very fertile, it will also help in the matter of reproduction. In terms of demographics, the year promises to be successful.
The Rooster will not welcome easy behavior in love relationships and can create certain difficulties for such couples. Therefore, next year, if you decide to walk down the aisle, try to follow all the traditions and rules. The Rooster will bless you and approve of your actions.
Stinginess, deceit, frivolity are traits punished by the Fire Rooster. The new sign tells us to be more correct, kinder and more traditional.
All the best to you in the New Year 2017!
