Hello friends! I wish you a Happy New Year! It seems to me that only in Russia this holiday is considered the largest and most desirable, I do not know why.
Maybe because of the beautiful fluffy snow and the expectation of something new and better. Or because of the flickering of unquenchable hope that appears every January 1 and, as it were, the beginning of another segment of life.
And maybe even from warm sadness over the past year, because there was definitely something very good in him, but it has already ended, has already passed. It both pleases and saddens ...
From childhood, I have the warmest memories of these pre-holiday days: matinees in kindergartens, queues for a Christmas tree, decorating with Christmas decorations, hanging garlands, New Year's gifts and of course a delicious New Year's table, for which they are already preparing during the week.
My family and I always get together in a week and decide what we will eat for the New Year. So to speak, we vote for what we love the most. It is already known from experience that you do not need to cook a lot of dishes, otherwise it will be very a pity to throw away spoiled foods. And since this is our favorite national holiday, it shouldn't be overshadowed at all from the very beginning.
So, by the decision of the Presidium of the Supreme Family Council, it was decided to adhere to the economical use of food and electricity in the light of recent events related to covid.
