I've always loved the New Year. The loudest, probably, shouted that this is my favorite holiday. And only recently I realized that I do not even love the New Year itself, but the pre-New Year state and the special mood that preparation for it creates. Everywhere there is absolute beauty, everything is delightfully decorated, wherever you go, wherever you go. Yes, at work I have a complete, even complete blockage at this time. End of the year, reporting, deadlines, plans. Yes, it's really hard! I myself have never believed in Santa Claus. Well, it didn't work out somehow, it happens. But I have always believed in miracles! Where this belief came from in me, I have no idea. It has always existed as something that is self-evident. Miracles happen, and on New Year's Eve - more often. For me, New Year is a family holiday. At this time, I always turn into the "youngest daughter". My parents established this, if I may say so, the law. New Year = family. A magnificent tree, New Year's parties, programs, summing up the results of the year, family discussions, plans for the next year, new projects. New Year is always delicious dishes. Our family's traditional New Year's Eve dish is duck. Necessarily with cranberry sauce, and certainly Olivier! But what about, well, how can it be without him? It's sacred. We were brought up with Olivier, we grew up with Olivier, Olivier is in our blood! I remember my grandmother said: “What a New Year! No New Years yet! My Olivier is not ready yet! " But the "fur coat" ... Believe it or not, I have never tried a "herring under a fur coat" in my life. She always stands on the table, as an integral attribute of the holiday, everyone eats, so let it be. New Year is gifts. I am madly in love with giving gifts. Everyone, everyone. Not even, not like that. All-all-all-all. It’s a sheer pleasure to watch people unpack gifts, how they rejoice, how their eyes are burning. The only thing is that we always open gifts before the New Year, not after. Do you make New Year's wishes? I am. Without this "write, set fire to, eat and make a guess." New Year is a time to decorate. Yourself, the space around you. By and large, I can celebrate the New Year even in a tracksuit. And if it has sparkles, then in general! Besides the New Year, I also love Christmas. At Christmas, we like to give very strange gifts, for example, that year I gave my mother a statue of a large turtle, and she - a plaster cast. And so every year I thought this year to come up with a new one and came up with it, it will be an unusual soft toy, and inside I will put a lot of small balloons, and when parents squeeze it strongly, they will be surprised and will not understand anything, and we will all laugh together. Surprise you too! Give your loved ones gifts and mood! And believe in miracles, believe in Santa Claus, if you really want it. And do not believe those who tell you that miracles do not happen, and you are already an adult. Be a kid! Believe in the good and the magic. Happy Holidays to all of you!
