Why do not we go to the New Year's show
I come December. This means that the preparations for the new year has entered the final stage. All thrifty parents have long to purchase tickets for all kinds of New Year's show, the others still choose from a variety of views.
My kids are 12 and 5 years, and they have never been to a Christmas tree full scale. When the children were small, I felt that they were not ready for such a show.
But my interest was great, and I'm very active in all study sites with reviews of past New Year's performance, so the desire to buy tickets for such events quickly subsided. Here are four reasons why every year I ignore New Year posters.
1. New Year's show are of two types. First - it plays and presentation of the permanent repertoire of the theater or the circus that just go on holidays, and the second - this show is set specifically for the show from late December to mid-January. We are avid theater-goers with children, so all the interesting events of the first type is usually visit during the year when there is no rush.
But to spend money on a Christmas tree from the second kind of do not want to. The basis of the show, as a rule, is recognizable cartoon character (or more) and hackneyed scenario of the abduction of the wicked Snow Maiden, New Year, gifts, or something else. Some great play by actors is not expected. Work out three trees in a row in the image is difficult to any artist, and even unprofessional and even more so. It would be possible to see some unforgettable scenery or special effects, but alas, as stated in the reviews and photo reports: nothing visually stunning does not usually occur. Although there is. In one year at the show in Moscow from St. Petersburg have forgotten to bring the head of the costume is a very popular cartoon character. And the whole tree has passed without character, who came to a full house of children. Here it was just unforgettable.
2. Many theaters put special Christmas tale. Beautiful, high quality, magic. I want to go there. But as ticket prices, once the desire disappears. Stubborn imposition of a gift in the form of sweets upsets. Of course, I understand that at all does not please everyone, and for someone treats to the package very congenial. But first, my kids do not eat these sweets (no, we are not the bourgeoisie, a caramel-type "crow's feet" does not love us). And secondly, it is very lazy to spend time on the waiting list to get a gift (it ahead of comments about what gifts you can take and peredarit others). Of course, it would be possible to buy a ticket without a present and give their own, but the candy sets - it is an opportunity to earn extra money to the organizers, so more and more before the new year tickets are sold only with a gift.
3. I love people and other people's children, but not when a lot of them - or rather, very much. Such different, anxious, angry, and do not always brought up. Come to the Christmas tree to listen to the crying child of two years, which is absolutely not interested in the action on the stage, divide the ride in the intermission, there was a long queue to the toilet or dressing room - it's not about us.
4. The last cause could be attributed to the third, but I have decided to separate - it is very important to me. Tickets for the Christmas trees are bought in advance, so know exactly healthy to be a child in this day, it is impossible. By the end of the year weakened the immune system in children, every winter rages any infection. The parents, according to the topics in the forums (and the responses in the same), it is absolutely not willing to lose money for the ticket and do not keep the child on the tree only as a last resort, namely:. High temperature, gypsum, diarrhea, etc. Most often, adults prefer to give medicine and take my child to the idea: two hours away from home does not happen, and positive emotions help to recover. At the same time, no one thinks that they are sick can infect other children, and to spoil their holiday vacation.
Ahead of the perturbation like, "and where did you go then ?!" My answer is that for many years we go to the presentation of chamber theater or children's theater studio and put children family home representation friends. And a fabulous New Year's mood is not bypassing us.
Holiday greetings!
