New Year celebrations in my family begin in mid-December, when we start decorating the apartment and buying gifts. We are used to putting up an artificial Christmas tree instead of a real one. An artificial tree lasts longer and there is no need to cut down real trees. We love to decorate it with toys, multi-colored New Year's balls, sweets and tangerines; we install a beautiful big star on the top, and small multi-colored light bulbs on the branches.

We decorate the entire apartment with shiny tinsel, and we hang a wreath on the door that we make ourselves. We hide gifts under the tree, we like to put gifts in boxes or wrap them in paper - that way no one can see what's inside. My mother and I always cook a very elegant dinner, which consists of complex dishes and cake. Our relatives come to visit us and also put their gifts under the tree.

Just before midnight, at 11:55 p.m., our President addresses the nation with a New Year's message. He reflects on the past year and wishes everyone a happy new year. Then we raise our glasses to the sound of the Kremlin chimes, counting down the last seconds of the old year. After that, my grandfather puts on a Santa Claus costume, plays funny games with us, we dance and sing New Year's songs. Late at night we start unpacking the gifts. Magic time!
