In childhood, New Year's begins with the rustle of the paper in which the Christmas tree ornaments are wrapped. Each bauble holds a piece of magic and memories of the past. And if you look closely, you can see not...
only your personal story in its reflection but also the history of our country.
In this book, you will learn how the Christmas tree became a symbol of the holiday and how it was decorated by our parents, grandmothers, and great-grandmothers, how gilded nuts and angels were replaced by cosmonauts and airships, and why even in the most difficult times people did not give up on the New Year's miracle. Let's open the box of old toys and embark on a journey through time.
