Of all the holidays of the year I like the most two - birthday and New Year, but the New Year, probably more because celebrating its not only you , but all your friends , acquaintances, and is not familiar to you people . Of the soul becomes more joyful and solemn , and the closer to the end of December , the more heart-stopping in anticipation of miracles and gifts. I have long ceased to believe in Santa Claus , but without them, what kind of New Year's Eve ? Therefore rejoice , as an old acquaintance , their appearance on television , on the shelves with toys , postcards and billboards .
