3| People stand in front of the decorations, as in front of a stage, many cannot hide their delight. The most popular phrase on Nikolskaya: “Like in Europe!” (although many cities in Europe decorate much more modestly). In second place is the question: “Is this really Moscow?”.
4| The entire street has been turned into a festive light corridor. True, from the side of Lubyanka, the decorations look more modest than from the side of Red Square.
5| The decorations of Tretyakovskiy Proyezd have been traditional for a couple of years now. From the new - the guards have learned not to buzz on a tripod and now they do not equate it with "a spy attribute of the competitors of the stores presented here." How can you not believe in miracles after this?
Last year, one head of the barrier tried to forbid me to shoot with a tripod. Was of course politely sent. He did not calm down, even called the police. Was sent a second time, already by the police.
Maybe the White Square is now also the guards are not so strange? And then they also looked at the tripod as a weapon.

20| A cozy fair on Tverskaya Square. The most difficult thing for a photo is to capture a moment without people. There are a lot of people walking, so sometimes you have to wait a long time. I was told that there were photographers who, in anticipation of the right moment, had time to read a whole volume of War and Peace!)

Good afternoon, readers and guests of the Family and Childhood website. New Year's Eve is a magical holiday that both adults and children are waiting for. He breathes magic, beckons with brilliance and bright lights in fairy world unusual creatures. This holiday, like all others, has its own history, traditions and features.
The history of the new year has many centuries. It was celebrated even three thousand years before the birth of Christ. Julius Caesar, famous ruler ancient rome, set the beginning of the year from January 1 in 46 BC. This day belonged to the god Janus, and the first month of the year was named after him.
In Russia, January 1 began to be considered the first day of the year only under Tsar Peter I, who signed a corresponding decree in 1700. Thus, the emperor moved the celebration to the same day on which it was customary to celebrate the New Year in Europe. Prior to this, New Year's festivities were held in Rus' on September 1. And until the XV century, it was believed that the year originates on March 1.
If we talk about history closer to our days, then January 1 first became a public holiday in 1897. In the period from 1930 to 1947 it was a normal working day in the USSR. And only in December 1947 it was again made a holiday and a day off, and since 1992 one more day has been added to it - January 2. And quite recently, in 2005, there was such a thing as New Year holidays, which last the whole 10 days, including weekends.
The tradition of decorating the Christmas tree and its history
The traditions of the new year are many and varied. Each of them carries a certain meaning and has its own history. So, the Christmas tree is an integral attribute of the holiday. In Russia, for the first time, houses were decorated with spruce branches by decree of Peter I, who imitated Europe in everything.
And the custom to put and decorate a green beauty for Christmas appeared already in late XIX century. It was taken from the Germans. At the beginning of the 20th century, it was forbidden to put up a Christmas tree, but in 1936 this ban was lifted, and the green beauty again began to bring joy to children and adults.
Separately, it is worth talking about. In ancient times, a green tree was decorated unpretentiously. Usually they hung vegetables or fruits, as a rule, apples, nuts and various products of labor. At the same time, each individual decoration carried a certain meaning. And only in the 17th century did the first toys appear, which served as a prototype for modern Christmas tree decorations. It was then that the first glass balls appeared in Germany.
This happened in the town of Thuringia in 1848. And in 1867 in Lausch, Germany, the first factory for the production of Christmas tree decorations was built. It is worth noting that the Germans for a long time rightfully held the primacy in this matter.
And the tradition of decorating the top of the Christmas tree with a figure of Christ originated in Scandinavia. Later, it was replaced with a golden angel. And closer to our time, they began to decorate with a spire. In the USSR, a red star burned at the top of the Christmas tree in every house.
Over time, not only the appearance of the toys changed, but also the styles in which the Christmas tree was decorated. So, bright sequins and tinsel at the end of the 19th - beginning of the 20th century (as in our days) were replaced by the fashion for a Christmas tree in restrained silvery tones. Later, figurines made of paper and cardboard gained popularity. But fashion is cyclical, and bright shiny jewelry soon regained its place in homes.
It is interesting to note that the history of our state is directly reflected in Christmas decorations. In the USSR, there were many figurines of vegetables and fruits during Khrushchev's time. During the Second World War, figurines of paratroopers were hung on branches.
Under Stalin, Christmas tree hockey players and figurines of circus characters were produced. In addition, toys with state symbols, for example, the already mentioned star on top.
Nowadays, it is fashionable to make toys with your own hands. For this, a variety of technologies and materials are used. They are knitted, glued, cut and combined these different techniques. Almost every home today has a toy or garland made by the hands of children and their parents.
Ded Moroz and Snegurochka
Another tradition is Christmas gifts. Without them, a holiday is not a holiday. Boxes of different sizes, wrapped in multi-colored paper, are placed under the Christmas tree on New Year's Eve. And in the morning, these gifts discovered by children will be a source of joy and good mood. The obligatory guests of the New Year's holiday are Santa Claus and his granddaughter Snegurochka. It is they who, according to legend, bring gifts to children in a bag.
The image of the fabulous Santa Claus is collective. It was created on the basis of St. Nicholas and the Slavic folklore character Moroz, who personifies winter frosts.
If there are prototypes of Santa Claus in many national cultures, then the Snow Maiden is a purely Russian heritage. She appeared relatively recently. Most likely, it was first mentioned in fairy tales in the 18th century. And in 1873, A.N. Ostrovsky composed the play "The Snow Maiden", where she is depicted as the fair-haired daughter of Father Frost and Spring-Red, dressed in a blue and white hat, fur coat and mittens.
And in 1936, the image of the Snow Maiden received its completed form, when, after the official permission of the holiday, in the manuals for organizing New Year's morning performances, she began to act on a par with Santa Claus.
Features of the celebration
As you know, New Year is a family holiday. On this night, the whole family gathers at the table, various delicacies and treats are prepared. There is such a sign "As you meet the New Year, so you will spend it." Therefore, the table, as a rule, is bursting with a variety of dishes, so that in the coming 365 days such an abundance would be on the table every day. This can also explain the desire to dress in new beautiful outfits.
In the past few years, the celebration of the new year has increasingly been transferred from cozy houses and apartments to cafes and restaurants. In order to have a fun night, they invite hosts who organize contests and offer other interesting entertainment. Also gaining popularity New Year tours, which make it possible to celebrate this holiday in other cities and even countries.
According to custom, at 11 p.m. on December 31, they see off the outgoing year. The celebration of the new coming year begins at midnight with the chimes and the clink of filled glasses. Many believe that if you have time to write to the sound of chimes cherished desire on a piece of paper, burn it and sip champagne, then it will definitely come true.
New Year's mood is also given by television programs and programs dedicated to this holiday. As December 31 approaches, the air is flooded with good old films about the New Year, musical television programs, and fairy tales. Every inhabitant of our country at least once saw the "Irony of Fate", without showing which not a single New Year passes.
"Blue Light" and other musical programs are shown on each channel. The President's speech and his congratulations have the opportunity to watch the whole country. This tradition dates back to 1970, when Leonid Brezhnev spoke to the citizens of the country for the first time.
Nowadays, it is impossible to imagine New Year's Eve without festive fireworks. Run it both centrally and privately. Starting from midnight until 1 a.m., multi-colored stars and artificial lights scatter non-stop in the sky.
This action looks especially grandiose in big cities where impressive pyrotechnic shows are staged. In addition to fireworks, sparklers are lit in every house and crackers explode. You can read about how to choose the right one.
The use of fireworks, firecrackers, firecrackers and other pyrotechnics in New Year holidays originates in China. It was believed that evil spirits that night, expelled from their former habitats, are looking for a new home.
Having found it, they will cause various troubles and troubles to its owners all year round. And the loud noise and bright lights from gunpowder explosions can scare them away. This tradition has gained wide popularity and spread all over the world.
Old New Year
The celebration is common only in Russia and some CIS countries. It is celebrated on the night of January 13-14. On this day, according to the Julian calendar, the new year began. In fact, it is an echo of the change of chronology during the transition to the Gregorian style. For Russian people, this is another reason to gather at the festive table.
In other countries there are traditions that have not found their place in Russia for one reason or another. So, in the UK, in addition to the Christmas tree, sprigs of mistletoe are brought into the house. In Cuba, at midnight, water from various filled containers is poured out of the windows, thus wishing the outgoing year a road as bright as water. In Japan, it is customary to ring the bell 108 times.
