New Year's programs

Green Christmas tree. A small program (does not require installation) that adds an animated Christmas tree that can be freely moved around the screen. In the settings there is the ability to set transparency and disable additional effects (garland, sparkling lights).

XmasTree. Another Christmas tree for the desktop. Unlike the previous one, the program must be installed. The functions are about the same, it just looks different.

Santa(The correct name is Xmas Fred). Best Program out of the five proposed. Installation is also not required, just run and watch the funny Santa Claus or Santa Claus (as you like). He will fly across the screen, fight with bags, ride a bike and perform other funny tricks.

Garland. The program adds red flashing lights to the edges of the screen (left, top, right). The program has no settings, only a single function!

Madly Happy New Year. And the last program for today, which adds the effect of falling snowflakes and a large Christmas tree with beautiful golden balls. Separately, I note that in the settings you can connect any other images (for example, set stars instead of snowflakes).

In conclusion, I want to wish you a merry New Year and a Merry Christmas! Good luck next year.

Screensavers on your desktop will further decorate your computer and workplace. As a rule, the splash screen is made in the form of animation. Computer settings allow you to set the time after which the screensaver appears. When you turn on the screen saver, you start to overflow Christmas decorations, glasses of champagne are filled, snowballs fall, a Christmas star twinkles or a text with congratulations appears.

Decorating the office for the New Year or leaving everything as it is is a personal matter for each team and, in particular, its boss. However, with the beginning of December, the streets, all the rooms where you need to go on personal business or on business, begin to live in anticipation of the holiday. Small and large Christmas trees, LED mosaics, luminous figurines of animals, New Year's characters are found everywhere and remind you that a miracle will happen soon. You come to your favorite job and here it is dullness, routine, routine. There is only one conclusion - it is necessary to decorate.

If the boss gave the order to decorate the office, then everything is in order, you can proceed. But if you, as a creative and creative person, came up with such an idea earlier, then you need to agree on it. First of all, with the management and, no less important, with the team. Then comes the brainstorming. Office decoration should be stylish, create a sense of celebration and not distract from work.

Entrust the decoration of the office to the designer or show imagination

A sufficiently wealthy firm can afford to order the services of a designer. Many holiday planning agencies are happy to offer their services and professionally decorate the office for the New Year without much hassle. They have a lot in their range:

• artificial Christmas trees,
• coniferous garlands and arches,
• christmas floral arrangements,
• light figurines and garlands,
• helium balloons,
• decorative elements made of foam,
• fabric for draperies - polysilk.

If complex design delights are not affordable, you can limit yourself to one chip, for example - balloons. Balloon arches are a common occurrence. But you can build a Christmas tree, Santa Claus with the Snow Maiden, snowflakes, a figurine of the symbol of the year, funny snowmen, fairy-tale characters, and even create an original image of your own director (if he has a sense of humor).

The boss gave the go-ahead to decorate the office, but did not allocate money or the budget is too scarce, then it is not advisable to spend it on balloons. In this case, fantasy and a sense of style will help out. In the meantime, ideas are in the air and go through the approval stage, you need to clean up the premises and workplaces. The New Year is the best occasion to get rid of old rubbish, clear space for new things and changes.

It is necessary to drive the dust out of the far corners, to hide away the symbols of the outgoing year, to reconsider your deposits of papers and get rid of the unclaimed part. A computer or laptop, a true friend and assistant, of course, needs decoration. On the desktop - New Year's wallpapers, on the body - self-adhesive snowflakes. There is a habit of keeping a cactus nearby - decorate it too, let it serve as a Christmas tree.

Office decor options

Personal space is decorated, it's time to take care of the room. The office is a working area. Decorate it with homemade kindergarten-style colored paper garlands or clutter it with assorted toys and tinsel. A good element for decoration - the same type Christmas balls in a single color scheme or, at most, 2-3 shades. The color performance corresponding to the company symbol will look original.

Balls can be hung on long strings of "rain", combined into compositions of several pieces, they can also decorate the Christmas tree. Without a green beauty, the New Year is somehow inferior. Naturally, we are talking about artificial version, and the color doesn't have to be green. In anticipation new year holiday Christmas trees are available in a variety of colors and sizes.

If the room does not allow even the smallest copy to be squeezed in, you can limit yourself to coniferous or make. Using a creative approach, it can be made from anything. Suitable:

• tinsel,
• LED Strip Light,
• colorful stickers,
• pens and pencils,
• disposable cups,
• cotton pads.

The whole decor is attached to the wall with double-sided tape and, if desired, decorated with balls. With the help of Christmas balls, you can make a hanging version of the Christmas tree. They are attached with transparent threads or fishing line to the ceiling at different levels in such a way that the composition as a whole forms a regular cone.

A good addition to office decoration is artificial snow. Sold in bags, when lightly soaked, it forms fluffy flakes that are difficult to distinguish from real snowflakes. Just don't put them all around. Better to use in small quantities for with balls and coniferous branches.

A festive mood in the office will be created by all kinds of paper decorations. Do not rush to announce a snowflake carving competition among employees. Everything can be bought ready-made:

• accordion balls,
• tassels,
• pompoms,
• stars,
• honeycomb balls,
• forfeits (fans).

With this unusual and bright decor, you can unobtrusively decorate walls, flights of stairs, hang them in the form of garlands.

New Year's creative from the company's products or services

Making a Christmas tree out of something you produce or sell every day takes ingenuity, but comes with an added bonus for the firm. It is possible that in this way you will attract new customers. And the doubters will understand that they really love their job here and offer a quality product or service.

Look around and look for an item in the shape of a pyramid. Perhaps a stepladder will do. If not, you can make a frame using strong wire, cardboard, foam, and boldly decorate it with your products. Herringbone in an outfit of mittens, gloves, socks, fluffy hanks of yarn, shreds of fabric - great option for cold winter and good mood.

Disposable tableware or alcoholic beverages are another reason to have fun. A Christmas tree made from bottles or plastic wine glasses will be appreciated. Build New Year's miracle you can use books, glossy magazines, old newspapers. Packing boxes, lumber scraps, inflated medical gloves(which are especially popular in medical institutions) - everything will work if you connect imagination and creativity.

If the office is not boring and ordinary, then the New Year will bring good mood, joyful upsurge and positive changes.
