December 31
Of course, on the very last day it turned out that something was missing from the table.
You have to stand in a huge queue, because many products are in short supply.
The tradition of celebrating the New Year with tangerines appeared in 1963. Yes and by order of the country's leadership! The government decided to provide citizens with fresh fruit on the holiday. At this time, tangerines were just ripening in southern countries.
Tangerines!
All products are included! Now you can start cooking. Only 12 hours left until the New Year!
12:00
The costumes are hand-sewn from old clothes or curtains, decorated with Christmas tree tinsel and rain.
Matinees are held in all schools and kindergartens, and sometimes even at work of parents. The boys are in bunny costumes, and the girls are in snowflake costumes.
But first you need to take the child to the matinee!
13:00
The head of the family has already brought a living Christmas tree from the market! We will place it in the largest room, decorate the trunk with cotton wool. And under its branches, we will definitely hide Santa Claus, made from papier-mâché.
Decorate it with rain, tinsel and garlands, and stick paper snowflakes on the windows, which were cut out by the whole family. We will glue them with a soapy solution so as not to spoil the windows.
15:00
It's time to prepare the house for the arrival of guests!
This year, children made Christmas decorations from all the means at hand: sweets, fruits, and even painted eggs! But and about the good old glass toys we will not forget.
They say that the first Christmas ball appeared due to a poor harvest of apples. Stocks of fruit ran out by winter, and the resourceful glass-blowers of a small town in Bavaria blew balls to replace round apples.
We have already bought gifts for all the guests, let's pack them!
17:00
We give Aunt Nina the perfume "Red Moscow", Uncle Mitya — a book. For the Vlasov family, dad got a beautiful figurine. And for the newlywed Petrovs, we snatched a crystal vase and glasses.
The children have already received bags of fruits and sweets from work. We will give them sledges and skates. For our nephews, we found an amazing railway.
We sent postcards to distant relatives, they are very popular.
Therefore on New Year's eve days the mail cannot cope with their influx.

The first New Year's cards in Russia appeared in 1897, they were issued by the St. Eugenia Community Publishing House in St. Petersburg. And the first Soviet New Year cards were printed in 1937.
The last salads are being cut, the guests are already starting to arrive. We need to have time to spend the Old Year.
Our mother has already managed to run to the hairdresser's to get her hair done. We surprised how she did it so quickly, because on December 31 the hairdressers are full. All month she has been sewing a new dress for herself according to patterns from Burda magazine and looks great in it!
Well, a dad, as always, put on his wedding suit.

Already all the guests in the gathering and we sat down at the table near the center of gravity of this evening —the TV. There just ends "Irony of Fate" and begins "Blue Light". I wonder who will be performing this year?
The most favorite New Year's film was the picture of Eldar Ryazanov "The Irony of Fate, or Enjoy Your Bath!". It was first shown on January 1, 1976. On this day, it was watched by 100 million viewers.
