Russia
New year in Moscow

New Year in Russia is the brightest, funniest and richest holiday celebrated in Russia. It is the first one on the calendar and in popularity. People see the New Year in at midnight on the 31st of December and greet the holiday with champagne and listen to the Kremlin chimes beating 12 o'clock.

Russian Holiday tradition includes a decorated New Year's tree - yolka (fir tree). It is exactly like Christmas tree and serves only one purpose, aside from that all mushy-fussy holiday spirit; you get your presents under the tree. Both children and adults always wait for Ded Moroz (Grandfather Frost), to come and bring them a present.
