Holidays

When the month of December arrives, it means only one - the countdown by the end of the year and the beginning of the winter break. Then you need to make good grades about good grades, because Santa will not leave the gifts to bad girls. Santa Claus? I do not believe in him for a long time, but the ratings need to be corrected, in order to enjoy as much as possible during holidays and holidays.
Street lighting is greatly set up, shops showcases are decorated in order to lure as many customers as they buy most gifts at the time. Holidays are the time spent in the family circle, at least so in our home, we prepare each other's gifts each year.
Somewhere around December 20, there is a tree from the attic, and next to the fir and lamp, bulbs and decorations for the fir. Jelka is standing in the same place every year - in one corner of the living room. Every year, we only change the arrangement or color of the decoration, or we buy lamps, if the old ones have stopped working in the meantime. Jelka will remain there until mid-January or the end of the winter break.
New Year is spent in the family circle, and this has become a tradition for us. When the firs are wrapped up, other decorations are prepared, so for windows we make paper candles that stick to the window glass with tape, so that we would not call the snow - the holidays are much better when the snow is attacking. Everything is like a fairy tale, a real winter spell.
For New Year, Mother prepares a rich table. It is mandatory to make kittens, who drink cakes and other salty deer. Roasting is the main course on the New Year's menu, and for dessert it is obligatory to prepare my favorite - cake with raspberries and chocolate.
Our celebration of the New Year's dawn begins around 19h, then we all dress well and sit down for dinner. So full of stomachs spend the rest of the evening with New Year's TV program, music or some social game like do not be mad. Evening, like everyone else, just eats more and eats more and we are all cheerful and smiling. Midnight is a dream come true and old, and then we compulsorily count ten seconds until the end, like everyone else. Soon after kisses and congratulations, the dream caught us and we are in our beds.
In the morning of January 1, we run to the fir tree, to see what Santa left for each of us overnight. Every year, the desire is fulfilled, and we get from our mom and dad what we wanted, in fact, what we whispered to them that we would like to have.

December days

When the December and the cold, cold December days arrive, we know that winter is a step away from us and that the autumn of our town will soon be replaced by its endless whiteness. The old year is at its peak and is closer to new, full of joy and holiday spells.

Each year, December we are treated with the first snowflakes. As the silks slide down from heavenly heights, they gently flutter in the air and turn around like a ballerina. Wearing winds fall on the roofs of the house, covering parks, streets and courtyards, and plaiting a white lace on the windows of children's rooms. With their mischievous game they cause a smile on the children's faces and invite them to go out and play together. December days are days in which nature begins to slowly sink into its deep winter dream. There is no buzz of birds, because the migrators have long gone to the south, and the sparrows are hiding in their little nests scared by the winter and the cold it brings. While nature goes to sleep, the chimneys are. From them a high smoke rises up to the sky, when the wind blows away, throwing a gentle white snowflake on it. Although there is no cheerful chirping of birds and coldness closes all around, the December days are full of joy. Winter silence breaks up childish scares and screams of wooden sleds. Dressed in warm clothes, boys and girls with a smile on their face run across a white blanket. They do not bother cold and cold. While the flakes are gently beautiful for their yellow faces and the snow falls under their swift feet, they enjoy the beauty that December day. Some of them will enjoy the beauty of the December night as they walk along the streets of the city that gleam with a multitude of lights and New Year decorations glittering in the dark.

In the days of decebrum when the first snow falls, gentle snowflakes with their crystalline splendor retrieve the gray in the late autumn and all around us shine with endless shine. Trees dressed in white clothes, lawns covered in white carpet and surrounded by the streets remind us that winter is coming, and with it New year and New Year's gifts that give us December holidays on their departure.
