Decorate even themost unexpected places in your home Everyone gathers ina celebratoryNewYearmoodaroundtheChristmas tree or a luxuriously set table – but thatdoesn’tmeanthat therestof yourhomeshouldbedeprivedofdecorations. Garlands, wreaths, red ribbons andbaubleswill also look good onbookshelves, oldcandlesticks ina display case and, of course, the fireplace for those who have one. Wrapping is as valuable as a gift itself Considering what this year was like - no one expects an exorbitantly expensive gift for the holidays. Moreover, a gift can also be a souvenir of small monetary value but large emotional value. However, the holidays aren’t holidayswithout the rustling of decorative wrapping paper, so wrap every gift you’re giving as if it were the most luxurious accessory in the world. Dress up even if you aren’t going anywhere Oneof thehashtags thatmarked 2020onsocial networks inthe sense of fashion is the English slogan “Dress up to go nowhere” - which means getting dressed up for the town just toenjoyapeaceful evening at home, in selected company or a joint virtual celebration via Zoom. Try it yourself. Instead of a cafe - walk through decorated streets The rules of distancing during thepandemichavechangedourhabits of socialising for a while. One of the trends that we’d like to adopt even when all this is over is hangingoutmore in the freshair, on long walkswithfriends. Ifyouwarmyourself upwith a good coat, soft gloves and a richly draped scarf, you’ll enjoy yourself even more. Extract themost beautiful memories Perhaps we travelled less this year than we did in previous years – but here’s a good opportunity to displayyourmemoriesofallprevious travels in the formof a smallmoodboard of life!

Now is the right time to thank, with gestures or words, thosewho are always there for us.
