The days are getting shorter, the nights even longer, and the mood is joyful, festive, and festive. Christmas is coming – the magic of being together.
For us, the preparations for the holidays are special. Although most of us dislike cleaning and hours spent shopping, everyone is very happy. From early morning, they're bustling around the kitchen, preparing specialties. Right before Christmas, even Dad doesn't work that long, and Mom tries to get off work as quickly as possible. She'll pull several late-night pullouts just to have twelve traditional dishes on the table. And these aren't ordinary dishes. Kutia – dating back to ancient times, prepared according to Grandma's old recipe; carp with mushrooms; pierogi with cabbage and mushrooms; red borscht with dumplings – Mom's favorite dish. Delicious tench in aspic and herring with olives. A Christmas table must also include poppy seed strudel, cheesecake, and gingerbread with dried fruit.
When this wonderful day finally falls, the eagerly awaited evening finally arrives, and the first star appears in the sky, we all sit down at a table covered with a white tablecloth. We forget about arguments and disputes. Christmas is a time of joy and forgiveness. We share the Christmas wafer and exchange best wishes. It's one of the most touching moments, one that brings tears to many a tear. On Christmas Eve, everyone is close, and no one can be alone. That's why we set a spare place for the lonely traveler. Under the tablecloth, there must be hay to commemorate the manger—the birthplace of Christ.
The crowning glory of our holidays is the beautifully decorated Christmas tree. In ours, it's always a massive spruce, whose scent permeates the entire house. Everyone has a hand in decorating it. First, Dad strings the lights evenly to illuminate the entire tree. Then Mom and I hang up the tinsel and baubles. At the very end, Mom decorates the tree with a sparkling chain and angel hair. For as long as I can remember, there have always been gifts under our Christmas tree for our loved ones, which brought us great joy. I never look forward to receiving presents and singing carols in the evening. I think they're familiar in every home: "God is Born," "In the Silence of the Night," "In the Manger He Lies."
Christmas is the most wonderful time of my life, full of joy, love, and happiness, where even the most secret dreams come true.
I love Christmas very much. I would love for it to be an unforgettable experience for everyone.
"On Christmas Eve, at the rising of the first star
, everyone exchanges wishes, so I take this opportunity
to wish you good health, happiness, and joy. May the unattainable come true, and the
distant become yours."
