New Year… is the funniest, the most magical, the most magnificent and the most delicious festive! We are joyfully and habitually preparing for his meeting. We buy a lot of delicious provisions and gifts. And do not forget about tangerines and Olivier; we bring home a New-Year’s tree.

But have we ever thought that a Christmas tree is not just a mandatory beautiful attribute [ˈætrɪbjuːt] that accompanies our celebrations? Before the fir-tree got into our apartments, the New Year’s or Christmas tree began its history, having nothing to do with winter fun. When little Jesus was born, the magi-stargazers came to worship him. The path of who was indicated by the Star of Bethlehem [ˈbeθlɪəm].

Think about it: The Christmas tree and the Nativity of Christ [kraɪst]. A Christmas tree is an analogy [əˈnæləʤɪ] of the sky. A reflection of the sky. And the colorful balls hanging on it are planets [ˈplænɪt] and comets [ˈkɒmɪt] walking around the expanses of the universe. The bright top of the Christmas tree is the Bethlehem star of astrologers [əsˈtrɒləʤə]. Do not forget, dressing up the green guest, decorate its top! How can the sky remain without its main star?

The ceremony [ˈserɪmənɪ] of decorating the Christmas tree, in which it is so good to take part with the whole family, is nothing more than a whole cosmic [ˈkɒzmɪk] ceremony. When we hang balloons and garlands [ˈgɑːlənd], we create the universe, as it was. If we look closely at the night sky, we will really distinguish that the planets have a flicker of different colours. Like multicoloured balls.

Creating our «Christmas tree universe», we hang cookies, sweets and tangerines on the fir branches. Thus, we believe that the New Year will bring us and our loved ones good and generous. It is believed that apples tied up on the Christmas tree are symbols of fertility. Eggs are symbols of harmony [ˈhɑːmənɪ] in love and well–being in life. Nuts carry the secret of divine providence. When we tear a candy or a cookie from the Christmas tree… We promise ourselves to live in prosperity for a whole year.

Even if you are lonely, take care of yourself and put a gift under the Christmas tree that you can enjoy on the morning of January 1.

Thus, the Christmas tree helps to find your soulmate in the coming year.

So that’s why we need a Christmas tree! So that the sky looks into our house! And believe me! The Christmas tree is not indifferent to what is set on our table. Since ancient times in Russia, Christmas goose. Jelly, suckling pig or fried pork were traditionally served on New Year’s Eve. It is a fat, hearty treat. You need to eat abundantly on New Year’s Eve so that you can eat your fill all year.

The traditional round dance around the Christmas tree, which children cheerfully lead, also has a hidden and magical meaning. The round dance is a reflection of the annual cycle [saɪkl], the change of seasons. Circle around the Christmas tree with your relatives and friends! It will be easier for you to travel around the annual circle! And if Santa Claus, the personification of Saturn [ˈsætən], also takes part in your round dance. Then expect a happy New Year by all means!!
