(1) It so happened that for Russia literature is the starting point, a symbol of faith, an ideological and moral foundation, and writers and poets are the rulers of thoughts, ideological leaders, bearers of absolute truth, idols and idols. (2) “A poet in Russia is more than a poet” - these words of Yevtushenko determine the place of literature in the life of Russian society. (3) “Sick questions”, “damned questions”, “great questions” - this was how they were characterized throughout the 19th century. those social, philosophical, moral problems that were raised in the works of Pushkin, Lermontov, Gogol, Saltykov-Shchedrin, Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Chekhov. (4) These questions were asked in “Eugene Onegin” and “Hero of Our Time”, in “Oblomov” and “The Thunderstorm”, in “Crime and Punishment” and “Who Lives Well in Rus'?”

(5) Whatever aspects of life the masters of words touched, from the pages of their creations one could always hear: “who is to blame?”, “what to do?” (6) These questions were heard in prose, drama, and poetry. (7) Writers interpreted history, politics, religion in different ways, national character, but passed through living soul a living creator who was a mirror of life, these phenomena became close and understandable to the citizens of their country.

(8) Russian literature of the golden 19th century became an inextricable unity, a kind of typological community, before which differences between individual writers receded. (9) They tried to understand how to live so that “it would not be excruciatingly painful for the years spent aimlessly”? (10) What is the meaning and purpose of life? (11) Is a person free to choose his life path? (12) Is a person responsible for what happens in the world around him? (13) All these questions are extremely complex, and writers painfully sought answers to them, since Russian literature was the literature of love, action and service.

(14) In my opinion, all the most painful questions that troubled the literature of the 19th century were reflected in L. N. Tolstoy’s epic novel “War and Peace.” (15) A huge gift and artistic uniqueness allowed Tolstoy to show the life of an entire people, an entire nation, an entire country, whose name is Russia. (16) “To live honestly, you have to struggle, get confused, struggle, make mistakes, start and quit, and start again and quit again, and always struggle and lose.

(17) And calmness is spiritual meanness,” this is his life credo.

(18) It is no coincidence that the writer repeated the same prayer all his life:

(19) “Lord! (20) Teach me how to live!” (21) It is no coincidence that his works became the Bible for an entire generation. (22) It is no coincidence that the critic P.V. Anennkov noted that “rare writers... are so strongly convinced of the unity of thought and action as Count L.N. Tolstoy.”

(23) The main theme of the novel “War and Peace” is the heroic struggle of the Russian people against the French invaders. (24) But along with the main theme, Lev Nikolaevich set many global philosophical and moral problems. (25) One of these problems is the search for the meaning of life and its purpose. (26) And the thought of Tolstoy the philosopher largely determined the thought of Tolstoy the artist. (27) “People are like rivers...” - he said, emphasizing with this comparison the immensity, complexity human soul, variability and continuous development of inner life, since the writer is primarily interested in the path spiritual development man, the path leading to a moral ideal. (28) The spiritual beauty of Lev Nikolaevich’s favorite heroes is manifested in the continuous internal struggle of thoughts and feelings, in the tireless search for the meaning of life, in dreams of activities for the benefit of the people.

It's nice to give gifts. It's doubly nice to receive them. Triple - to receive it in such a way that you can then excitedly tell how unusually the gift came into your hands. Not only children dream of surprises and miracles! In the non-children's world, where New Year's miracle- this is a gift sale with a 70% discount and a table in a cafe free from corporate events, we dream of adventures. Well, or at least about intrigues, scandals, investigations.

So how do you organize an award ceremony? New Year's gifts for adult family members and guests not only solemnly, but also fun? We offer several ways.

Find me if you can (New Year's quest)

Collect all the gifts in advance in one place, but in such a way that finding this place is not easy. Block the path to gifts with messages for guests: let each one tell seekers where the next one is hidden. Announce that Santa Claus came, brought gifts, but didn’t just give them away, but hid them, and only the bravest, smartest, and most beautiful will be able to find them. It’s better to make a reservation right away that you don’t need to turn the apartment upside down, but just use the hints. By the way, about hints: they can be very different - riddles, crosswords, picture puzzles, rebuses, words with rearrangement of letters, tasks like “connect the dots”, etc.

Hints:

first mark the places where you will hide the clues, then think about how to beat these places;
it turns out especially interesting when the recipients of the gifts guess the place, but don’t know how to get the clue from there;
try to “link” the tasks with stories known only to your loved ones, and the New Year’s quest will become intimate and truly family-friendly.

Making a promise doesn't mean getting married (New Year's resolutions)

Your guests love to start life with clean slate, and therefore every year with three boxes? Come up with funny promises and put them in a hat or a New Year's-themed box, and then announce to your guests that they will receive their gifts only after they draw “promises” at random and solemnly swear to keep them all year.

Clue: Avoid making too big promises! They should either be really funny, or completely unrealistic, or very easy to do.

For example:

“I promise to feed the cat every day at 3 am for the whole year (even if she is against it)”
“I promise to kiss my wife/husband on the nose before leaving for work”
“I solemnly swear to take out the trash from my house after just 5 requests.”
“I promise to wake up the whole family (and neighbors) in the morning with a cheerful cuckoo”

Guess the gift

Write the names of the gifts on the cards. Attach these cards to the foreheads of the guests for whom the gifts are intended, so that the guests see other people’s “gifts”, but not their own. Announce that everyone will receive gifts if and only if they guess correctly. To avoid pointing your finger at the sky every time, allow guests to ask questions that require a yes/no answer. You can ask questions about your gift as long as the answer is “yes,” but as soon as others answer “no,” the right to become an “inquirer” passes to the next guest.

Clue: the game will be more fun if the gifts are unusual (and certainly not pre-ordered!)

Cut once (New Year's lottery)

If the gifts are not targeted, universal, then pack them in opaque wrapping paper and hang them on long ropes/ribbons from one common (and strong) rope. Blindfold your guests with a scarf or put a blindfold on them and send them off, scissors in hand, to get themselves a gift.

Clue: It will be more fun if you play a little prank on the recipients - for example, wrap small gifts as if they were big ones.

Roll, little ball (New Year's adventure)

Take colored ribbons or laces, tie them to gifts, and then carry them throughout the apartment and mix them up with each other. Give the other ends of the ribbons to the lucky gift recipients.

Hints:

such a presentation will succeed if there are no guests in the apartment for some time - so either give them guiding threads as soon as they cross the threshold, or at the height of the holiday send them into the yard to dance around the Christmas tree;
Give the ends of the ribbons either targeted (“red - to mom, there is a cosmetic set at the end, blue - to dad, he has a subscription to a football magazine waiting for him”), or randomly, for example, invite guests to choose the colors of the ribbons themselves (this way the presentation of gifts will “grow up” intrigue).

Guess the quote - get a gift (New Year's quiz)

Lay out all the gifts (preferably wrapped) in a spectacular pile, take out one at a time and offer to compete for it: the one who is the first to show ingenuity will receive the gift. Find famous ones on the Internet - let applicants for gifts guess which movie this or that quote is from.

Hints:

in case the quotes go “tightly”, stock up - they’ll be guessed somehow;
the presentation can be made more targeted: the guest guesses the source of the quote and receives a gift intended specifically for him;
The lucky ones who have already named the correct answers are eliminated from the gift race.

Santa Claus has arrived! (New Year's performance)

Get a Santa Claus costume, dress a male guest in it and invite the rest of the guests to “earn” gifts - tell New Year's poems or fairy tales, sing New Year's songs or even dance New Year's dances (whatever those may be).

Clue: the newly-made Santa Claus receives a gift automatically - for his outstanding acting abilities.

Adult children of Captain Grant (search for treasure on the map)

Draw a map (accurate or very conditional), mark the hidden treasure on it (read: gifts) and invite guests to find it.

Clue: you can complicate the task - give guests not a map, but a compass and a search algorithm (“from front door 5 steps north, then 3 steps west”, etc.)

FANTOMAS is back (forfeits with prizes and gifts)

Come up with fun tasks and invite guests to draw forfeits: for a completed task, you will be given a well-deserved New Year's gift.

Hints:

tasks can be different, but in no case serious, - for example, to recreate the chiming clock in any way; climb onto a chair and officially announce to everyone present that Santa Claus will arrive soon; just portray open bottle champagne; eat a couple of slices of lemon without wincing; in five seconds, name all the ingredients of Olivier salad, etc.;
drawing out forfeits can be “ennobled” - insert forfeit notes into the air balloons, inflate them, and at the party invite guests to choose “their” balloon and get a forfeit out of it without using their hands.

What grows on the Christmas tree (New Year's lottery)

Attach cards with numbers to the tree, and place gifts under the tree. Invite guests to choose a card, then find among the gifts the one marked with the same number.

Hints:

It’s better if the gifts are “anonymous”, i.e. packaged identically;
cards can be attached (tied, glued) to identical Christmas tree balls. This way, guests will not only be left with gifts, but will also retain the memory of an unusual holiday in the form of a Christmas tree ball.

Whom I love, I give it to him (New Year's lottery)

When inviting guests to a holiday, instruct them to prepare one gift, and then play out who will receive whose gift: to do this, you can write two sets of cards with names and simultaneously pull them out of two hats (one - “from whom”, the second - “to whom”) .

Hints:

it will be funny if someone gets their own gift;
It is better to agree on the maximum cost of gifts in advance;
It is not forbidden to exchange gifts to everyone's pleasure after distribution.

What? Where? To whom? (New Year's quiz)

Prepare riddles about gifts in advance - and give them to recipients only after they guess what they will receive.

Clue: It will be better if the gifts are not from the “what would you call it simpler” series, but even if it’s a depilator or an iPhone, don’t give up, make up a riddle yourself.

And the Oscar goes to… (New Year's awards)

Describe each guest humorously without mentioning their name. Read the “resume” of the candidate for the gift to the guests and hand it over when the name is guessed correctly.

Come up with several “stations” and assign people in charge. Among the stations may be “Tantsulkino”, “Golosyatovo-Pevcheskaya”, “UmZaRazumovo”, “ZOZhinskaya” and others. At each event, guests will have to “earn” points (tickets, snowflakes), which they can then exchange for gifts at the fair.

Clue: collective creativity counts! If each of the dozen guests at each station sings, dances, and squats solo, then the celebration and presentation of gifts will be greatly delayed.

"Safety"

Not every guest of yours will be happy to sing, dance and write poetry for a gift that he has not even seen. There is always a risk of getting into trouble - ruining the mood of both yourself and your guests. How to recognize people who New Year's games contraindicated (and just give them a gift)?

Award one point for each statement that describes your guest or guest N:

you have never, under any circumstances, seen N sing, dance in a group, or even tell a joke
N rarely and sparingly smiles and does not like to laugh at all, does not watch comedies, comedy shows and KVN competitions
N never tried to prank you on April 1st
N always gives only practical gifts, carefully found out in advance what kind of gift you want, or generally takes the choice and presentation of gifts very seriously
N hates corporate events and team building
N reacts painfully to criticism
N has no children (and has no plans to have them at all)
N doesn't like to play cards, Board games, tanks
N is painfully shy
N uncomfortable (mini, heels, tight, etc.) or dressed very expensively
N pathological neat
N is very hungry and is in a hurry to start eating

If 3 or more statements accurately describe your guest, he should only be involved in the presentation of gifts as an objective observer. If among your guests there are those who fit 1-2 descriptions, then postpone the “gift games” until later - when your guests have eaten, raised a couple of toasts, gotten to know each other and relaxed.

Damir Sadrtdinov, showman, presenter and organizer of events, founder of the event company Artifact:“In a world where time is valuable, I think it will be a miracle to gather the whole family and loved ones. Naturally, you want to please them, but it’s not enough to just choose gifts and please (that’s another task!), you also need to turn the presentation of gifts into a game, and the holiday itself into a New Year’s miracle. I still remember New Year, when my uncles organized the arrival of Santa Claus with a real three horses and a sleigh, and the miracle was the moment when Grandfather Frost, having given gifts to everyone, having played with both children and adults, said that he would celebrate that New Year with us. It turned out that it was our uncle from Kaliningrad, whom we had not seen for more than 5 years!

How to give gifts in an original way? There are many ways, the main thing is to use your imagination! You can hide gifts in the room and play the well-known game “Hot and Cold”. Among my friends, I used to give prizes and gifts through the auction system for strange dances. My colleagues and I want to try this year new way giving gifts to each other: on the eve of a corporate evening, everyone will draw a card with a name and prepare gifts without warning the recipients. At the holiday, we will sign all the gifts and put them under the tree, and each recipient will have to guess from the gift who prepared it.”
