Nothing warms our rights as the word holiday. Immediately there are positive parallels, just fantasy outlines the form of a pleasant stay in a society dear to people. Our society with its crazy beat desperately short rest. The body simply requires celebration.
If we turn to the etymology, that is, to the roots of the word feast, we find that it goes back to idle word that is not busy, free, holiday-makers.
Celebration - a respite, thanks to which we have for some time freed from the sometimes unbearable weight of being. No wonder the Russian language-rooted that word has an adjective empty, which means empty.
Holiday frees us from daily cares, we begin to feel their independence from work, from life, in some cases - and from the boring environment. The pleasure of such a state is experiencing any person, except that with very few exceptions. That is why we are so looking forward to the holiday and with the same regret aware that he had already ended, but it seems that had not yet commenced.
Celebrations accompany humanity and a person throughout their history. They change the course of the formation of society, go to another level, but did not disappear from people's lives. If you count all the holidays on the planet, to have their celebration, are unlikely to be enough of a generation, because every day in our calendar is a holiday for certain people. And this variety of festivals: religious and secular, familial, and national, ancient and modern, professional and human.
In the Explanatory dictionary of Russian language, SI Ozhegova are three meanings to the word holiday - a day of celebration, weekend, holiday and day of games, entertainment. In fact, the real celebration should combine all three values. After all, if the holiday is reduced to only one of them, its content quality is lost.
Probably everyone at least once in my life happened that the holiday fell short of expectations, followed by a formulaic scenario: they poured - drink - a snack, between interruptions - congratulations or jokes, plunge into depression. And all because the preparation of the holiday no one took into account all its constituents, that is, firstly, the triumph is recommended that a non-working day to you and your thoughts were here and now rather than allow another professional challenge. Secondly, the holiday must include the official part - a festive table, congratulations and toasts.
In the absence of the official part of the holiday is simply no different from the gray of everyday life.
And finally, there should be a third of which incorporates merry contests and games , thanks to which were invited to the festival open up a bit and relieve accumulated tension.
