The history of celebrating the New Year dates back to ancient times when our ancestors had to adapt it to different events of life, thereby indicating the beginning of a new time period of the cycle of life. The New Year is generally associated with the tree decorating and also watching films or some Christmas musicals and fireworks.

For example, do you know from where came the tradition to decorate Christmas tree? Ancient Germans believed that it is sacred, because in it lives the spirit of the forest, protecting people and plants, animals and birds. So often to that tree came tribal leaders, to appease the mighty spirit of the forest. The Dutch, the British, and then the Slavs borrowed the ritual of worshipping trees as the symbol of immortal life, eternal youth and strength.

In Asia you will find neither Santa Claus, nor St. Basil. Another interesting Christmas tradition have the Italians. In Italy on the New Year's eve they throw out of their apartments and houses in the yard or on the street all unnecessary utensils (cracked dishes, broken furniture, old clothes). It is believed that it will bring well-being.
