RESOLUTIONS
This New Year I'll be so good.

And help my sister, father, and my
mother.

Celebration of New Year in France, Germany and Italy
Le nouvel an ou le jour de la Saint – Sylvestre est une fête qui vient de l’Europe occidentale et qu’on
célèbre à la veille de la nouvelle année, c’est à dire le 31 décembre . Le réveillon de la Saint – Sylvestre
est le début d’une nuit éternisée et infinie, emplie de joie et de miracle. Le réveillon de la Saint –
Sylvestre est célébré entre amis.Pourquoi la Saint – Sylvestre?Il est à remarquer que le saint célébré ce
jour-là, le 31 décembre n’est pas lié à la fête du Nouvel An, c’est juste une coïncidence du calendrier
grégorien. Sylvestre, 33 pape d’origine romane, a occupé le trône de Saint-Pierre 22 ans. Ce temps-là le
christianisme a été reconnu comme religion officielle de L’Empire romain.Le Nouvel An commence par le
réveillon riche de mets variés et luxueux, car le dîner somptueux est de bonne augure pour la nouvelle
année et la met sous le signe de la prospérité
Das ist das wichtigste Familien- und Kirchenfest in Deutschland. Das ist das Fest von Christi Geburt und
das Fest des Friedens und der Freude. . Am 24. Dezember ist der Heilig Abend.Viele Deutsche gehen in die
Kirche und dann feiern sie zu Hause. Der Weihnachtsbaum wurde in Deutschland erst vor hundert Jahren
populär als Symbol des Lebensbaums. Man schmückte ihn zuerst mit Kerzen und Äpfeln. Unter den
Weihnachtsbaum legt man auch schön verpackte Geschenke für die ganze Familie. Man zündet die Kerzen
an und singt Weihnachtslieder. Weihnachten ist der größte "Schenk-Tag". Auch ein Nussknacker ist ein
absolutes Muss beim Weihnachten, er wird aus Holz gebastelt und rot, schwarz und gelb bemalt. Fast alle
Familien stellen außer dem Weihnachtsbaum noch ein Figurenkarussell auf, das aus einer Achse mit einer
Nadel und einigen "Etagen" besteht. Auf jeder Etage befinden sich Figuren der Engel, Hirten und Lämmer.
Und das Karussell dreht sich, weil es von der heißen Luft angetrieben wird, welche von vier brennenden
Kerzen kommt. Große Karusselle werden elektrisch angetrieben. Zu Weihnachten gibt es Lebkuchen,
Spekulatius, Plätzchen, Stollen und natürlich eine Weihnachtsgans.
Celebration of New Year Eve in Italy. All over Italy you’ll find outdoor celebrations of the New Year’s Eve
with music and dancing. Big cities such as Rome and Bologna hold outdoor concerts and events which are
shown on TV all over the country. Italians celebrate the end of the year and the beginning of the New Year’s
Day with fantastic fireworks as well. An old tradition which is still practiced in many regions of Italy is to
throw old things out of the windows. They throw away pots, pans and clothes out of the window to let go the
past and move toward the future. So, keep your eyes up! Traditionally Italians celebrate New Year’s Eve with
special dinner which includes: Risotto in bianco (white risotto), Lentils (symbolizing wealth and fortune),
Cotechino (pork sausage), Raisins (for good luck).

RINK IN THE
GORKY PARK
Ice skating rink in the Gorky Park is the largest ice rink in Moscow. In the
evening, there are lighted Christmas garlands and the big Christmas tree in the center
of the rink.
On this rink you can celebrate New Year`s Eve. Here you may have not only good
skating and get the New Year`s mood but you can sit in a cozy cafe to eat and drink a
cup of hot tea.
I think, you will remember this New Year`s Eve for many years.
CHRISTMAS
FAIR
Christmas Fair is one of the most popular places in Moscow.
On the New Year`s Fair, you can taste different sweets, take part in funny
competitions and ride on an ice hill. Also, you can buy gifts for the New Year.
Christmas decoration and beautiful music create a pleasant atmosphere. New Year`s
Eve at this Fair will be very funny and unusual.
FAMILY
You can spend New Year`s Eve with your own family. This is an old Russian tradition.
