New Year's Miracle, or Morozov Ha. Ha.

It turns out that once every ten years, a special commission selects Santa Claus! And everything always went well, but suddenly there was a mistake and they chose the completely wrong person! Khariton Kharitonovich Morozov is also not too eager to communicate with children and give them gifts, and on top of that, he brings the Snow Maiden to tears and mocks the Snowman in every way.

But even the most incorrigible hooligan can still be reformed if he suddenly finds himself in unusual circumstances. And that’s when a real New Year’s miracle will definitely happen!

The story about Santa Claus, who was actually a cunning and mischievous old man and could not stand children at all, was told by Stanislav Vostokov, a laureate of numerous literary awards. The illustrations were drawn by Sergey Gavrilov.
