Today I want to start our lesson with a riddle.
You can always find her in the forest -
When will you go for a walk:
Stands prickly like a hedgehog
“In winter in a dress?” - “So what!”
And the dress is fluffy,
Green, branchy!!!
(Spruce)
Yes, you're right, it's spruce. Of course you are familiar with this tree. We all love the beautiful and fabulous custom of decorating a Christmas tree for the New Year holidays. This worldwide tradition has a very rich history, and without it it is hardly possible to imagine celebrating the main winter holidays. For each of us, this is a tradition that, I am simply sure, will never cease to exist.
But do you know why the spruce became a symbol of the New Year and Christmas?
(Children's answers)
Of course, all of your listed evidence of the benefits of spruce is accepted. But still, it wouldn’t hurt to find out where this tradition came from.
Reader
Sleep, little Christmas tree, to the sound of the blizzard.
I'll take you away with fluffy snow
Fall asleep on Mother Spruce's lap,
So green in the white forest.
Go to sleep and don't listen to any nonsense,
No wind, no animals, no birds, no one!
As if they will take our Christmas tree soon
And they will take you home to celebrate Christmas.
No, in a vat with a rim made of old paper
They won't put you in front of everyone.
You will not hold garlands and flags,
Toys and candles, balls and a star.
No, you will hide the bunny - long ears,
Blizzard and frost will decorate you,
And a star will flash on the top of your head
The hour the baby Christ was born...
Leading
Listen to the legend:
Near the cave where little Jesus was born, 3 trees grew: olive, palm and spruce. The palm tree and the olive tree gave their fruits to the mother and baby. And there was nothing to give. She stood modestly on the sidelines and was very afraid of ruining the holiday. She couldn’t give me prickly needles, sticky resin and hard pine cones. She felt very ashamed and cried with her resin... And then, to console the spruce, stars fell from the sky onto her.
And a miracle happened. Showered with stars, the irresistible spruce approached the baby, and he, captivated by her beauty, smiled joyfully. El was happy, but did not become proud. It was for her modesty that the Angel rewarded her with a kind green tree. He made it a symbol of the bright holiday of Christmas.
This is how, according to this legend, a green sparkling beauty appeared for the holiday. Which symbolizes the inextricable connection of earth with heaven, that is, people with God. This is such a beautiful legend.
2 Presenter
And I will tell you the main European legend.
According to this legend, at the moment when Jesus was born, there were more heavenly bodies: another star rose in the sky. The light of this star attracted many people, and they all went to Bethlehem, the city where Jesus was born. But not only people wanted to see the Baby. Magi, animals, birds and plants came to show their joy to the Baby and his Mother. The mighty Hyperborean spruce also learned about the magical birth. But when she came to the cave where the Mother of God was feeding her Son, the spruce tree began to feel shy and did not dare to enter and remained on the sidelines. The other trees asked her why she didn't come closer. The spruce tree looked at the abundance of their fruits and replied that it was afraid to scare the people who came to the cave.
It became clear to the trees that the spruce was ashamed of its simplicity and gloom, and they began to decorate it with flowers, nuts, apples, and figs. They even sprinkled juice on her bumps. And from this the cones were covered with gold. The spruce began to shine and entered the cave. The Son of God saw her, smiled and waved his arms in greeting. He liked the elegant spruce tree the most. Then a star began to shine above the top of the tree. The one that attracted everyone to the Baby.

Night. Freezing.
The stars are sparkling
From the heights of heaven.
All covered in snow, like ermines,
The quiet forest sleeps.
Silence all around.
Polyana Sleeps in the arms of sleep,
Swims out from behind the forest
The moon is on watch.
The stars are going out.
They're pouring from the sky
Pale rays
Frosty snow sparkled
Silver brocade.
Branches spread wide
In a snow coat,
There is a Christmas tree in the middle of the clearing.
It went up like an arrow.
To the beauty of the forest
The moonlight has fallen
And the lights of ice crystals
Played in the branches.
Diamond threads
Entwined in pine needles,
Emeralds and rubies
They lit up in the snow.
A clear star near the Christmas tree
The head is lit
... The great day is coming
Christmas holiday!
Reader:
Brightly with star rays
The blue sky shines...
- Why, tell me, mom,
Brighter than the stars in the sky
On the holy night of Christmas?
Like a Christmas tree in a mountain world
This midnight is lit
And diamond lights,
And the shine of radiant stars
Is she all decorated?
- Truth, my son, in God's heaven
On this holy night
A Christmas tree is lit for the world
And full of wonderful gifts
For the family, she is human.
Look how bright the stars are
They shine for the world there, in the distance:
The holy gifts shine in them
- For people - goodwill,
Peace and truth are for the earth.

In ancient times, people considered nature to be divine and believed in the existence of spirits who lived in the forests on coniferous trees. It was believed that they were the ones who caused severe frosts, sent blizzards and confused hunters.
To protect themselves from the tricks of forest creatures, people tried in every possible way to appease them: they decorated spruce trees with various fruits and treats. The evergreen tree has always symbolized life itself.
Spruce is considered a symbol of eternity. Nature may fall asleep and wake up for a while, but spruce, like life, remains eternal. At any time of the year, it stands green and represents immortality, eternal youth, courage, fidelity, longevity and dignity. And its cones were considered a symbol of the fire of life and restoration of health.

Our people borrowed the very custom of putting up a Christmas tree for the New Year from Western Europe.
It was from Germany that the New Year tree came to us at the beginning of the 19th century. The Germans who lived in St. Petersburg showed the Russian nobles that the Christmas tree should be hung upside down (or upside down) from the ceiling.
But then it was decided to install the spruce on the floor.
1 Presenter
I wonder what they used to decorate the spruce tree at the very beginning? Spruce decorations also have their own history. At the very beginning it was candles and delicacies - apples, nuts, sweets, gingerbread. It was also a treat for the children. The Christmas tree has become a mandatory attribute of the Christmas holiday. The beauties were decorated with crafts made of colored paper, fruits, and tinsel.

There is a legend about New Year's tinsel.
Once upon a time there lived a woman who had many children. They lived very poorly, so she had to work a lot. The night before Christmas, my mother decorated the Christmas tree, but she had very few decorations. In the middle of the night, spiders crawled onto the branches of the tree and wove a web. When Jesus Christ saw this, he took pity on this family and blessed the tree. Then the web turned into silvery tinsel.
In Russia there was a tradition of tearing off gifts, which was called “plucking the Christmas tree” (or they said: “destroying the Christmas tree”).
Who knows what kind of tradition this is? (children's answers)
1 Presenter
According to the tradition of the German people, the Christmas tree holiday has always been considered a day of children's family celebration. In the beginning, it was held in a house only for members of one family and was intended for children. Both under Peter and later there were many Germans in Russia, they preserved the customs brought from their homeland. It was their custom to decorate a small Christmas tree in the main room of the house, cover it with a blanket, and the head of the family would take it off at the appointed hour. Russian people came up with it in their own way. The Christmas tree in a Russian home reflected part of the church ritual and served to unite the whole family around it.
The children could not see what was happening in the house, but by all kinds of signs they tried in every possible way to guess what was happening outside their room: they listened, looked through the keyhole or through the door crack.
Reader
Oh, give us a Christmas tree! Magic Christmas tree
With garlands of colorful lights.
Make you languish, look through the crack,
Burn at closed doors.

At first, the tree was in the house for only one evening. The tree made a strong impression on the children; they were delighted. The installation of the spruce was prepared by adults and always kept secret from children. And thus the Christmas tree was a surprise for the children!
Exhausted by the anticipation of the holiday, stunned by the festive splendor of the beautiful Christmas tree, the cheerful children at the end of it attacked the Christmas tree and smashed it and everything that was hung on it. That’s what this tradition was called - the holiday of “plucking the Christmas tree.” At the end of the holiday, the devastated and broken tree was taken out of the hall and thrown into the courtyard.
They began to place the Christmas tree in the middle of the hall, where everyone was given the opportunity to have fun around it, dance in circles, and examine the toys that decorated the Christmas tree from all sides. It is believed that the round dance around the Christmas tree was borrowed from the Trinity Day ritual. They danced in a circle and sang the old German song “Oh Christmas Tree.”
And this year we celebrate 114 years since the writing of the New Year’s anthem, the song “A Christmas Tree Was Born in the Forest,” without which not a single holiday is complete. Young and old sing this song. The author of the favorite New Year's song of many generations is Raisa Adamovna Kudasheva
When wealthy people began to invite their friends to the Christmas tree, they tried not to skimp on decorations and always used new decorations. They decorated with candles, confectionery toys, and fruits. They tried so hard to show their taste and wealth. At first the spruce was called the Christmas tree, and then simply “fir tree”.

Interesting fact
The oldest spruce on our Earth is 9550 years old! The oldest spruce on Earth has lived for nine and a half thousand years. She even has a name - Old Tikko. It is 4 meters high and grows on Mount Fulufjellet in Sweden.
In Russia, the oldest spruce trees grow in the Kostroma region in the Kologrivsky Forest reserve. They are 400 years old.

Glass Christmas tree decorations were invented in Germany in the 19th century. They say that one poor glassblower once did not have money to decorate his Christmas tree with edibles, and so as not to upset his children, he made glass toys. Soon such toys became fashionable.
Namely, in Russia, glassblowers came up with traditional balls, cones and mushrooms with funny figures of fairy tale heroes - this is how the “Russian Christmas tree” differed from European trees.
What symbols of the Christmas tree can you name?
-a wreath, which must be hung on the door, is a symbol of the merging of the end and beginning of the year;
- indispensable candles on the table are a way to invite goodness into the house.
At the end of the 20s of the 20th century, the Christmas tree in Russia was banned along with the celebration of Christmas and even the New Year. But in 1936 it returned as a symbol of the New Year holidays. And we will hope that this will not happen again.

The world's tallest artificial Christmas tree, according to the Guinness Book of Records, was installed in 2009 on Pacio de la Reforma in Mexico City. Its diameter was 35 meters and its height was 110.35 meters, which corresponds to the height of a 40-story building.
200 workers installed it for 2 months. Electric garlands were hung for decoration; their total length was about 80,000 meters.
In 2007, the world's largest floating Christmas tree was erected on Lake Lagoa Rodrigo de Fretas in Rio de Janeiro. The height of the festive tree was 85 meters, it was decorated with more than two million light bulbs.
The largest Christmas tree in the world is a 45-meter spruce, installed in 2014 in Germany in the city of Dortmund at the Christmas market. It was made by merging small fir trees and weighed 40 tons; assembly took 1 month. 1,700 fir trees were specially grown for the holiday tree. The Christmas tree was decorated with 48 thousand light bulbs and glowing garlands. The four-meter angel installed on top weighed more than 90 kg.
The tallest Christmas tree in Russia is 33 meters, its age was more than 110 years. It was installed in 2009 on the Cathedral Square of the Kremlin in Moscow.
This is the path the “New Year’s beauty” had to overcome. We can no longer imagine the New Year holiday without the main symbol. After all, even Santa Claus leaves gifts under the Christmas tree. And of course, it is the Christmas tree that creates this unforgettable atmosphere of the New Year holidays with its lights and toys. New Year's chores are some of the most enjoyable. They gather the whole family and bring joy and festive noise to the house. Everyone is happy, exchanging gifts, congratulating each other. And in the center of all this, the Christmas tree triumphs - the tree of life.

DURING THE CLASSES
1. Organizational moment(Slide 1)
- Guys, we have guests today, say hello to them. See if everything is ready for the lesson. Sit down quietly.
2. Report the topic of the class hour
He comes on a winter evening
Light candles on the Christmas tree.
He starts a round dance.
This is a holiday… (New Year)
- Right. The most beloved, most long-awaited holiday is approaching. Regardless of age, all people are waiting for it.
Who are the guys on New Year's Eve?
Don't you get tired of having fun?
Who gives gifts to children?
Who to the guys in the world
Did you bring a Christmas tree from the forest?
Guess it! (Father Frost)
– And today we will learn about Santa Claus: where he came from, where he lives, how he prepares for the holiday. But we will not only talk, but also make crafts. Therefore, the theme of our class hour is “Santa Claus’s Workshop” (Slide 2)
3. Teacher’s story about the history of the holiday
– When do we celebrate the New Year? (January 1) You probably think that people always celebrated this wonderful holiday in winter. However, it is not. Among ancient peoples, the celebration of the New Year was marked by the arrival of spring, the victory of life over death, and fell on March 1. Much later, the New Year was celebrated on September 1st. On January 1, Tsar Peter I ordered to celebrate the New Year in Rus' (Slide 3).
This was over 300 years ago. Peter I ordered that on January 1st we congratulate each other on the New Year, go out into the street and shoot into the sky from our guns. And we still shoot upward, but with firecrackers and firecrackers. Also, it was this king who ordered everyone to decorate coniferous trees. Only the toys back then were very simple - gingerbread cookies, bagels, apples, pieces of cotton wool... This is where the custom of decorating the Christmas tree came from. (Slide 4)
And although the winters were very frosty then, the custom of celebrating the New Year took root very quickly. People happily went out into the streets, lit fires, danced around them, and called on the sun to warm the snow-bound and frost-bound land.
4. Conversation about New Year's traditions. Game “Believe it or not”
– How do you traditionally celebrate the New Year in your families? For example, I always clean the house for the holiday. It is not appropriate to receive Father Frost and Snow Maiden in a dusty room. And you?
From past centuries came customs:
– pay off debts before the New Year;
- forgive insults;
– celebrate the holiday in new elegant clothes, etc.
These are the traditions of the Russian people. And in other countries they are their own. Let's play the game “Believe it or not.”
Do you believe that in Italy on New Year's Eve it is customary to throw chairs, flower pots, and clothes out of windows? (Slide 5) Yes, that's true. The more you throw away, the more wealth you will have in the coming year.
Do you believe that in Spain you have to eat 12 olives when the chimes strike? (Slide 6) No, grapes. And then all your wishes will come true.
Do you believe that in Cuba, before midnight, all the vessels in the house are filled with water, so that at exactly 12 at night they pour it out of the window? (Slide 7) And this is so. Cubans really want the coming year to be clean and clear.
Do you believe that in Japan you should cry on New Year's Day? (Slide 8) No, on the contrary, laugh. This is the most fun Japanese holiday. They believe that if they laugh all night, they will have good luck for 12 months.
Do you believe that in Germany at midnight all people climb on tables, chairs, armchairs? (Slide 9) And this is so! With the last stroke of the clock, he jumps into the new year.
– And in our country, over the past few years, another tradition has taken root - the New Year holidays not only for children, but also for adults. And this year we will celebrate the New Year, and then Christmas for 2 whole weeks.
5. Teacher’s story about St. Nicholas the Wonderworker(Slide 10)
– Who is the main New Year’s wizard? Who lights the Christmas trees and brings gifts? From November to March Moroz has a lot of work. He walks through the forests and knocks on the trees with his staff, causing bitter frosts to occur. Frost sweeps through the streets, painting the windows of houses with patterns. It chills the surface of lakes and rivers. The frost stings our noses, gives us a blush, and makes us happy with fluffy snow.
The image of the winter lord is embodied in Russian folk tales. What fairy tales do you know? (“Morozko”, “Moroz Ivanovich”) However, this fairy-tale character has a prototype - a real person.
In the 4th century, Archbishop Nicholas lived in the Turkish city of Myra. He was a very kind man. (Slide 11) He was especially kind and generous to children. As they say in a legend that has survived to this day, a very poor family lived in Mir. They were so poor that the father had nothing to feed his three daughters, and so that they would not die of hunger, he decided to give the children to other people's families to be raised. But Nikolai found out about this and found a way out. He threw gold coins into the house through the stove chimney. And the girls hung their socks by the fireplace to dry at night. Imagine their surprise and joy when they discovered gold in their socks in the morning! There was no limit to the rejoicing, and the family was saved. This is where the tradition of hanging one's socks by the bed on New Year's Eve came from, in order to receive a gift from the good wizard in the morning.
Nicholas accomplished many good deeds during his lifetime. His stories of kindness spread throughout the world, and people of many countries began to revere him. And after his death the church elevated him to the rank of saint. And in Russia, Nicholas the Wonderworker is considered one of the most revered saints.
6. Find the differences game
Each nation has its own Nikolai, the good New Year's wizard. In France, Pere Noel (Slide 12). In Finland Joulupukki (Slide 13). In Hungary, Mikulas (Slide 14). In Italy Babbo Natale (Slide 15). And in America? (Slide 16). What about here in Russia? (Slide 17) And they look different, each has its own image.
Lately we've been seeing Santa a lot on our TV screens. And very rarely Santa Claus. And I would really like you to understand where whose image is. Let's learn to distinguish the appearance of our native Father Frost from the foreign Santa Claus. (Slide 18)
– Look at the screen. Which of these grandfathers is ours? (On right)
Let's look from top to bottom:
– headdress (fur hat, cap with pompom);
– beard (long, gray; short);
– eyes (sees well; wears glasses);
– outerwear (warm fur coat to the toes; short jacket with pants);
– color of clothing (can be blue, red, white; only red);
– hands (in warm mittens; gloves);
– in his hands (holds a staff that can freeze; no staff);
– shoes (felt boots or boots with raised toes; black boots);
– a vehicle (can be on foot or in a sleigh drawn by three horses; rides in a cart drawn by reindeer);
– assistants (granddaughter Snegurochka; elves can help).
The main similarity is a bottomless bag of gifts.
7. New Year's physical exercise(Slides 19-28)
8. Making Christmas tree toys (snowflakes).
-Today we will make the most common Christmas tree attribute - a snowflake. (for children, napkins, scissors).
-You will do this work yourself, and we will decorate the classroom with the best snowflakes.
While the children are performing, music plays and a splash screen appears on the screen.
9. Where does Santa Claus live?
Now we are ready to celebrate the New Year, and we will look forward to the arrival of Santa Claus. Do you know where he comes to us from? Previously, he did not have a permanent place of residence, but now he lives in Veliky Ustyug all year round. (Slide 31)
His palace in this city is called the Residence. The word residence itself means the residence of an important person, such as the president. Can you imagine how important and meaningful Santa Claus is to us if he lives in the residence! Why in Veliky Ustyug? Only in the Vologda region are there real fairytale forests, marvelous lakes, and miraculous springs. Only there can our wizard live.
Father Frost's palace is hidden in the forest. The mansion has a throne room where Grandfather meets important guests, such as Santa Claus. And if you ring the crystal bell in this room, then your wishes will certainly come true. There is a book of wishes in Santa Claus's personal account. All guests write down their requests in it, but Santa Claus, of course, fulfills the most cherished and kind ones. There are also several rooms with gifts for Santa Claus from the children of our vast Motherland.
You and I can write to Santa Claus too. Here is his address. Santa Claus will definitely fulfill your wishes. After all, it has already become a tradition for us to write letters to Santa Claus.

New Year is the favorite holiday for both children and adults. It is difficult to find a person who would not love this holiday. From early childhood, New Year is the most beloved, homely and warm holiday. Maybe that’s why we prepare for this holiday so carefully. Meanwhile, everything has its beginning.
Today the theme of our class hour is “New Year's Eve”. We will remember the traditions and customs of celebrating the New Year in Rus', as well as the traditions of celebrating the New Year in different countries, and find out why the Christmas tree became the symbol of the New Year.
1. Magic holiday . (Presentation show)
In Rus', the New Year was celebrated in the spring, in March, when nature woke up from hibernation. Among the ancient Romans, “March” - “Mars” was considered the first month of the year according to the Roman calendar. From this ancient Slavic holiday
The tradition of lighting lights on New Year trees has survived to this day.
Since the 15th century, the holiday began to be celebrated on September 1, after the harvest.
In winter, the New Year began to be celebrated under Peter 1, in 1700.
Tsar Peter issued a decree commanding that the New Year be celebrated on the night of January 1st. He traveled with the singers to the houses of the boyars and congratulated them. On the streets in
At this time, fires were lit so that there was a lot of light and warmth. On this day, everyone congratulated each other, decorated houses with pine, juniper and spruce branches, arranged fireworks, lit fires and candles. Each house had a Christmas tree decorated with toys.
Of course, every nation, every people has its own traditions and examples of celebrating this or that celebration. An important attribute of this holiday in almost every country is the New Year tree. In Russia it is a Christmas tree.
Why is there such a special attitude towards the Christmas tree? It turns out that the custom of celebrating the New Year
with the green beauty goes back to ancient times and is associated with the cult of greenery. For many ancient peoples, spruce symbolized courage, courage, and immortality.
They believed that spruce enjoyed the special location of the Sun. Our distant ancestors endowed trees with the ability to create good and evil, and believed that spirits, both good and evil, found shelter in the branches of spruce trees. Therefore, people decorated trees to appease the spirits and gain their support.
We will not break traditions and will also decorate our Christmas tree, which we made at the technology lesson, with New Year's toys made by your
hands together with parents. (Children decorate the Christmas tree with made toys.
Music sounds).
Who knows from which country the custom of decorating the Christmas tree with New Year's toys originated? ( from Germany)
They first started decorating the Christmas tree in Germany in the Middle Ages. The first toys were apples, nuts and various sweets. Later, the Christmas tree began to be decorated with shiny toys, light bulbs, candles, and a star was hung at the very top. It is a symbol of the Star of Bethlehem, which indicated the birthplace of Jesus.
Who is the main hero of the New Year?
2. Santa Claus.
The prototype of the modern Santa Claus was a very real person. In the 4th century, Archbishop Nicholas lived in the Turkish city of Myra. He was a very kind man, and for his good deeds Nicholas was declared a saint after his death. In the Middle Ages, a custom was established: On St. Nicholas Day, December 19, to give gifts to children, just as the Saint did. After the introduction of the new calendar, the Saint began to come to children at Christmas, and only then at New Year.
When Russia began to celebrate the New Year, old
Grandfather with a beard and boots. But then Santa Claus was not cheerful and
good-natured. He had a bag in one hand and a stick in the other. He gives gifts
Of course, he gave it, but only to smart and obedient children; the rest got a good beating with a stick. But the years passed, and Santa Claus grew older and kinder, and stopped
handed out blows, but simply intimidated naughty children with scary fairy tales.
Santa Claus is called differently in each country.
In America, Canada, the Netherlands and some other countries, he is known as Santa Claus. He is very similar to our Santa Claus, only instead of a fur coat he wears a red jacket and cap.
In France, Pere Noel brings gifts to children. It enters the house through the chimney, and children who do not want to be left without gifts put their shoes in front of the fireplace or stove.
Gifts for children in Finland are delivered not by Santa Claus himself, but... by a goat!
He gives gifts only to those children who behave well. The goat records all the pranks of the children in his magic book.
In Italy, the good Fairy Befana flies to children. She appears at night on a magic broom. The fairy quietly fills the children's stockings, which are hung by the fireplace, with gifts.
In Australia, New Year is celebrated in the summer. Santa Claus has a light cap on his head, his shirt is belted, and his pants are tucked into felt boots. He sails on a special board,
which they ride on the waves.
In distant Guinea, gifts are distributed by an elephant. He walks through the streets to music and songs.
In Syria, a Bactrian camel delivers gifts to children.
Mongolian Santa Claus is very similar to a shepherd. He is dressed in a shaggy fur coat and a fox hat.
At New Year's celebrations in Russia, this old man always comes with his granddaughter Snegurochka. Only our Grandfather has a granddaughter, Snegurochka, and she was born in Russia. The Snow Maiden is a literary character. She appeared in 1873 and at first was called not the granddaughter of Santa Claus, but a daughter. This happened thanks to the play “The Snow Maiden” by Alexander Ostrovsky, which he created based on the folk
fairy tales about a girl fashioned from snow and melted by the warm rays of the sun. Later, writers and poets turned her into a granddaughter.
The Snow Maiden helps Father Frost distribute gifts to children and adults.
Where does Father Frost live with his granddaughter?
There is probably no country left in the world that does not claim to be the homeland of Santa Claus. In first place here, of course, are the Scandinavian countries - Finland, Denmark, Norway. Russia in this dispute does not lag behind the rest of the planet. In 1998, Veliky Ustyug, the oldest city in the Vologda region, was named the Russian homeland of Father Frost.

3. New Year. The tradition of decorating the Christmas tree. Protection of Nature.
In Rus', the New Year holidays lasted two weeks. Celebrated New Year, Christmas
and Baptism. We always wish you a successful and happy New Year. To this day, the tree, being a symbol of eternal greenery and eternal life, is the most important attribute of the New Year.
Oh, what a tree, just a sight for sore eyes,
And fluffy and modest,
To everyone's surprise!
I would like to remind you guys: to take care of nature,
to the surrounding world.
Today our guest is the head of the environmental circle Oksana Viktorovna Polyakova. She will tell us how we can save our forest during the meeting

Let there be Christmas trees in your homes for the holiday, but artificial ones, and in the park, in the forest, we will enjoy the aroma of “living” pines and firs. After all, if someday we cut down all the trees, they... will not exist. Everyone would like the forest beauty - the Christmas tree to LIVE!
And on New Year's Eve, I really want you to take part and help
