NEW YEAR

A boy can't wait for the New Year to decorate the Christmas tree together with his mother and brother. He has a beautiful artificial green Christmas tree with a base and needles on the branches like a real Christmas tree. They have never used a real Christmas tree because they are sorry that a real tree is destroyed. His brother and he are his mother's assistants. From a large box full of Christmas tree jewelry, they take out and add colorful ribbons, bubbles, stars, birds, colorful balls and little Santa Clauses who have various musical instruments. A large, bright star is placed on top of the tree. Wires with light bulbs of various colors are wrapped around the branches and trees, which flicker in accordance with the melody when they are plugged in. The little brother loves when they turn on Santa Claus on batteries that goes, lights up and rings a bell in the rhythm of the melody "Bells, bells, they ring all night ..."

On the eve of the New Year, his dad and he get packages from dad in the Municipality and they take pictures with Santa Claus. Finally, after a lot of impatient waiting, that day came. He knows he will get more packets of toys and sweets at home.

As a child, he believed that Santa Claus would bring them to him personally, and now he knows that his grandparents and parents buy them and put them under the Christmas tree, but it's still very nice and he's very happy every time. At midnight, he goes out on the terrace and fire rockets which, when they burst, create fireworks of the most beautiful colors. He doesn't like firecrackers and he doesn't throw them because they are dangerous, especially for the children, and he's not interested in them just exploding. Fireworks are much nicer to him because they are so festive and full of colors. Others then throw rockets, firecrackers and various other crackers. When the fireworks are over, he enters the room, and under the Christmas tree there are large, shiny packages that his grandmother secretly brought.

For this year, both his brother and he have been looking for robots that are so powerful. They're going to play great. He knows they'll get some more toy surprises as well.

He loves the New Year very much and he wants it to bring joy and goodness to the children of the world.
