Where to celebrate the holidays
The tradition of arranging magnificent feasts is gradually becoming a thing of the past. Noisy home gatherings today arrange less and less, and young people even prefer to celebrate in cafes and restaurants, because it is modern, beautiful and convenient: no need to organize, cook, clean.
However, those who are older remember how pleasant weddings, anniversaries or even noisy New Year gatherings were at home, when several families gathered under one roof at once. That's it. home-fest It was soulful, joyful, warm.
The advantage of such gatherings was their slowness. You can comfortably sit in a chair or on the couch and listen to the conversations of loved ones. And there will be no loud music or noisy and drunken companies (as in the same cafe), because of which you can not hear even the nearest interlocutor.

Family feast It gathered all family members: children, adults, and the elderly. Often there were people at the same table who rarely met in other conditions. Therefore, such celebrations brought the family together, became a good tradition, which children contemplated, to recreate later in their adult life.
As for the dishes, there was something on the tables that on ordinary days there was hardly a chance to try. And the habit of keeping the best for the holiday to shine in front of guests also made the feast special. And homemade salts, twists, pastries and other goodies in such conditions seemed the pinnacle of culinary art.
Even a modest table was a holiday, if it gathered really close people. Gifts, loud toasts, heartfelt conversations and singing old songs turned the celebration into something special, an event for which it cost more than a month to save money, and sometimes to borrow.
However, nowadays the era of lush feasts finally disappears into the past. If people decide to celebrate a holiday at home, it happens in a close family circle. They won't invite everyone. Perhaps people have become more careful about money. Maybe that money has gotten less. But it's not just that.
For a great feast you need not only a lot of money, but also a lot of effort. A couple of days in the kitchen will destroy even a minimal sense of celebration. And in the end, you will need to take care of everyone, wash the dishes, clean...
It would seem that the hosts should be the real kings of the holiday, but they turn into servants for the drunken aquash of guests, not all of whom especially want to see. In addition, in the midst of the holiday, a neighbor who loves to “pull” can also appear. How about a drink?
Going to a cafe or restaurant is more affordable than it was a couple of decades ago. And here you can really relax, completely surrender to the holiday, without caring whether the plates are full next to dear guests or you need to “still deliver the cold”. The staff will do all the dirty work. Customers will only have a good time.
In addition, a good institution always has a place to comfortably accommodate and even dance. Here you can make photos that will be pleasant to share in social networks. And you will definitely want to view these pictures, because they will remind you of positive emotions, not about cooking, washing dishes and cleaning for sloppy and sometimes overdrive guests.
