December is the crown of the year. It's time to take stock and plunge into the whirlpool of the holiday. The coming year of the White Metal Rat dictates its own rules of the game. To appease the new owner, you need to have time to do at least 5 important things.

Say goodbye to debt
The rat is a thrifty creature. She doesn't like debt. Therefore, it is important to pay off your bills before the end of December. It's not just about financial obligations, credits and loans. Other people's things (books, clothes, accessories, toys) should also return to their owners. This will allow you to enter the new year with a clear conscience and will be a great reason to see old friends.
Pay attention to family and friends
Often the sea of current worries does not allow you to pay enough attention to your loved ones. December is the time to fix this. It's time to pay visits to relatives: grandparents, aunts, uncles, nephews and nieces. The Mistress of the Year, as a pack animal, will appreciate such a step.
Also on the eve of the holiday, it is important to ask for forgiveness and forgive all offenses. Let conflicts, quarrels, and misunderstandings remain in the old year, and let love, harmony, mutual support, and a willingness to lend a helping hand to a loved one move into the new year.
Throw away the old and unnecessary
The rat does not tolerate clutter in the home, so before the onset of the New Year it is worth doing a thorough cleaning.A long-dead radio, a pile of magazines, broken sneakers, trinkets... It's time to get rid of old unnecessary things collecting dust on the mezzanine. It's time to cleanse the atmosphere in your home and let the feeling of celebration into your home. There is no doubt that useless items will be replaced by pleasant, practical acquisitions.
Prepare for the holiday
Preparing for the celebration is a pleasant part of the New Year's Eve chores. The symbol of the year is a responsible animal that does not tolerate putting things off until the last minute. It is worth preparing in advance and thoroughly to appease the Rat. The last month of the outgoing year is the time to think about decorating your home, gifts for friends, a holiday menu, and an outfit. Such worries charge you with optimism, set you on a positive wave, and bring the expectation of something wonderful, just like in childhood. The smell of a Christmas tree and tangerines, bright gift wrapping, and the lights of garlands will lift the spirits of even a hopeless pessimist. In addition, advance planning is a chance to avoid the rush in stores, at New Year's fairs and bazaars.
Summarize and plan new things
In order for the coming year to bring positive changes to all areas of life, it is important to review your achievements and evaluate the results. For this it is recommended:
- make a list of pleasant moments that happened in 2019;
- remember events that taught you something new, became a lesson, gave you life experience;
- list your small and big victories.
After this, you can set new goals, objectives, and outline steps to achieve them. The symbol of the year loves to plan and clearly follow the intended path. The Rat will patronize a person who knows what he wants.
And now, all 5 tasks are completed. There are only a few minutes left until the New Year 2020. It's time to raise a glass of champagne to the new owner - the White Metal Rat.
