On furry prickly paws

The tree brings to the house smell:

The smell of warm pine needles

The smell of freshness and wind

And the snowy forest

And a slight smell of summer.

Y. Shcherbakov

Now we can't imagine meeting new years without its symbol - fluffy evergreen beauty spruce. It is installed in every home, decorated with toys, tinsel and garlands. The fragrant smell of fresh pine needles, the taste of tangerines - this is what is associated with New Year's celebration. Under the Christmas tree, the children find their gifts. At matinees, round dances are performed around her, songs are sung. But it was not so at all times.

Where did it come from in Russia Christmas tree? -

Our ancestors believed that all trees are alive, spirits live in them. There was such custom: at the end of December, people went to the forest, chose the most fluffy and tall tree, decorated it with colorful ribbons and made various offerings. Then round dances were led around and ceremonial songs were sung. The ancient Slavs instead Christmas trees dressed up oak or birch.

Once, on Christmas Eve, a poor lumberjack took in a little boy lost in the woods. He warmed, fed and left a lost child to spend the night. The next morning the boy disappeared, and instead of himself left a small coniferous tree at the door. Since then, spruces have become the main Christmas attribute.

The custom to install a Christmas tree appeared in the country during the reign of Peter I.

The Russian Tsar issued a decree that the nobility before Christmas should decorate their homes with pine and juniper trees and branches. On January 1, it was also ordered to launch rockets, arrange fireworks and decorate the buildings of the capital with coniferous branches.

At different times and Christmas trees decorated in different ways: first fruits, natural and artificial flowers. Later decorations became fabulous: gilded cones, surprise boxes, sweets, nuts and burning Christmas candles. Soon added toys made by their own hands: children and adults made them from wax, cardboard, cotton and foil. And at the end of the 19th century, wax candles were replaced by electric garlands.

Now Christmas trees installed in all major areas. In our country, the largest New Year's the tree is the Kremlin tree in Moscow

What is New Year?
It's all the other way around:
Trees grow in the room
Squirrels do not gnaw cones,
Hares next to the wolf
On a thorny tree!
The rain is also not easy,
In the New Year it is golden,
Shine that there is urine,
Nobody gets wet
Even Santa Claus
Doesn't pinch anyone's nose.

Where did the custom of celebrating the New Year come from?
The history of this wonderful holiday has at least 25 centuries. This custom was first born in Mesopotamia (Mesopotamia). Here, as well as in the lower valley of the Nile, at the end of the 4th millennium BC, civilization was first born. It was here, according to scientists, for the first time (in the third millennium) they began to celebrate the New Year.

Traditions of celebrating the New Year in Russia.
In the tradition of celebrating the New Year in Russia, such attributes as: a Christmas tree, a New Year's table, Santa Claus, fireworks, mass celebrations.
On the night of December 31 to January 1, it is customary for every family to lay a festive table. As a rule, there are invariably three components: Olivier salad, champagne and tangerines.
In Russia, it is customary to sit down at the festive table around 11 pm in order to "spend" the old year.
At about 11:55 p.m., the President of the country speaks on all central channels, he sums up some results of the outgoing year and wishes happiness and good luck to all the inhabitants of the country in the coming year. Then at 11:55 p.m. on January 1, the chiming clock begins.
On this night, you can meet people walking around the city dressed as Santa Claus. Another symbol of this holiday. Parents of children often order an artist in this image for their beloved children.

New Year in Russia.
In Russia, the New Year was celebrated on March 1. In the XIV century, the Moscow Church Council decided to consider September 1 as the beginning of the New Year according to the Greek calendar. In 1699, Peter I, returning from a trip to Europe, by a special decree, ordered "from now on to calculate the summer" from January 1.

The history of the Christmas tree.
The Christmas tree - an essential attribute of the winter holidays - also arrived in Russia along with the reforms of Peter the Great. However, the “foreigner” who arrived, although not immediately, took root in Russian land firmly - as if she had always grown here: from the branches that decorated the houses, a luxurious tree grew in a festive dress.

The most important of the guests:
- Who is in an elegant warm coat,
With a long white beard
Comes to visit on New Year's Eve
And ruddy, and gray-haired?
He plays with us, dances,
With him, the holiday is more fun!
- Santa Claus on our Christmas tree
The most important of the guests!

History of the origin of Santa Claus.
Santa Claus became who he is thanks to the existence of a very specific and living prototype. In the 4th century, St. Nicholas the Wonderworker lived and did good deeds in Asia Minor. The figure of this completely reliable historical character gradually acquires legends and fairy-tale details, as a result of which a new image appeared - a kind grandfather, able to make the baby happy, as soon as he turns to him with a request. In the old days, Santa Claus brought rods along with gifts, entering the house with the words: “Are there obedient children in this house?”. Nowadays, this peculiar element of education has almost disappeared, and every child, even the most cocky fidget, receives a treasured gift.

Snow Maiden.
At the Snow Maiden in the morning
New Year's affairs mountain:
Need snow fringe
She will decorate the native forest,
Bake a pie for the animals
And turn on the lanterns.
And then on a holiday to the children
Fly in a golden carriage.


The history of the origin of the Snow Maiden.
Only our Grandfather Frost 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 the daughter. This happened thanks to Alexander Ostrovsky's play "The Snow Maiden", which he created on the basis of a folk tale about a girl fashioned from snow and melted by warm sunlight. Later, writers and poets turned her into a granddaughter.
The image of the Snow Maiden is a symbol of frozen waters. This is a girl (not a girl) dressed only in white clothes. No other color in the traditional symbolism is allowed. Her headdress is an eight-pointed crown, embroidered with silver and pearls.

Bright beads glitter on the chest.

In Russia, the New Year tree appears after the decree of Peter the Great on December 15, 1699. Moreover, it was prescribed to decorate houses not only with Christmas trees and its branches, but also with branches of pine and even juniper.

Decorating a Christmas tree is a pre-holiday creative process, in which, as a rule, all family members participate - parents, children, grandparents.
The youngest have the richest imagination, so children prefer to decorate the Christmas tree with toys depicting fairy-tale characters. Thus, they have the opportunity to visit a fairy tale.

The festive tree of the end of the last and the beginning of this century did not look at all like it does today. And although the variety of Christmas tree decorations, perhaps, was in no way inferior to modern ones, all this magnificence was made by hand.

In Russia, the first Christmas decorations were made from rags, straw, colored ribbons, and later from paper and foil. This production was carried out by special workshops. Glass decorations appeared later.

Electric Christmas tree garlands were invented in the USA.
They first decorated a Christmas tree in the mid-1880s at the home of engineer Edward Johnson, three years after the invention of the light bulb.
Most of the media representatives invited to the demonstration of the new Christmas decoration were convinced that it was a trick and refused to cover this event in the press. Johnson's Christmas tree was adorned with handmade garlands of electric light bulbs, painted red, white and blue. Light bulbs in garlands blinked, and the Christmas tree spun.

Christmas decorations in different countries

In most Mexican homes, figurine compositions that depict the scene of the birth of Christ from the Bible are considered a popular decoration. However, a decorated spruce is also present somewhere in the house.
Christmas trees are imported to Greenland, as their own because of the climate simply do not grow there. Residents decorate "foreigners" with candles and bright ornaments.
New Year in Brazil falls in the summer, and then the people of this country decorate the Christmas trees with small balls of cotton, as if it were falling snow.
In Ireland, Christmas trees are decorated with colored lanterns, tinsel and trinkets.
In Sweden, they decorate with stars, toys in the form of the sun and snowflakes, animal figures made of straw and wood.
