New Year is a great holiday in Russia! All people and especially children love it very much. They decorate their homes, flats, rooms with bright lights, toys, handmade snowflakes.The symbol of the holiday is New Year Tree. Hardly you can find a house or a flat without New Year Tree, live or artificial.Our school has a tradition of holding an exhibition of artificial New Year Trees made by students and their parents.A lot of bright and colourful trees visitors can see there. Here are some photos of handmade trees:
I guess I wasn't aware that a tree was part of New Years celebration for Russians. Where do you get your trees? (Do you just walk out in the woods and find one, or do you buy one?) When I was growing up, my family owned land and we would get our tree from that land. However, most Americans buy their tree for Christmas from a tree farmer. Some families like to go to the tree farm and cut their own tree; some like to buy the tree after it has been cut.
