My favorite holiday
is
New Year
The new year always gives us
hope for the best, gives a lot of
gifts and pleasant emotions. In
this period we can easily be
heroes of a fairy tale. We all
remember childhood, perceiving
what is happening around the
eyes of a child. Everyone wants
to believe in Santa Claus and the
snow maiden, who will come to
visit us and that somewhere far
away, in cold area's a beautiful
snow Queen. Some will disagree
with me, but in my heart it is. And
the blame for everything the New
year is a time of fulfillment of the
most cherished desires. The main
The history of the New
Year
The New year carries the most vivid
feelings and is associated with hope,
love and support. This holiday, like most
others, is rooted in antiquity. On this
day, all are fun to be with and welcome
the year so that the charm of new
year's eve was memorable for a very
