there is an old legend - how to celebrate new year, so spend it. a friend of mine in new year's eve, when all dressed snowflakes and snow maiden, he decided to dress the military, and in the spring he was taken into the army. and another friend, poisoned cookies, i remember new year's eve half-sick in the toilet, and then it all year i complained that she was sick of her husband. so do not believe in omens then. new year's eve must meet so as not to wait for the whole year and then summons the army or nauseating husband. last i was particularly afraid. and i firmly decided for myself that in this new year will be all right. there will be a good company, a small house in the winter forest, candles and a fireplace. there will be a great dressing up the christmas tree will be gifts, champagne and toasts, the laughter and the clink of glasses and in this connection, i now completely understand how the new year's eve, i, like a year ago, again pancake was among strangers on a train. now i think that the proverb "as celebrate new year - so spend it" is not quite up to date. perhaps the saying was changed to "how to meet new year - so you will meet and the next," but i was not warned about this, radishes. i do not know. but lokomotiv moscow and warsaw, where i was several hours before the new year, was is packed full of celebrating people. on the table in the coupe rolled tangerines and bubbling champagne, and this was made from living branches, a christmas tree. to achieve the effect of the holiday, i turned on the laptop some old new year's concert, and five minutes before the battle of chimes - this secretary-general in writing. new year was greeted by the ringing of glasses, guessing the desires and shouting "hurrah! " around the car.
