Time is slowly bringing us closer to the most favorite and magical holiday of the year.
And although not so long ago, various witches and Halloween products were flaunting in store windows, now their places have been taken by interactive Santa Clauses and Christmas products.
They are so bright and attractive that they make your eyes twinkle, but they are already creating our mood.
Even an interesting holiday train runs through the narrow streets of Spanish Gandia.
For me, the New Year means a family circle and a big green natural Christmas tree still covered with snow. I remember once my grandfather bought a Christmas tree so huge that we could barely fit it in the house.
Then the whole family had fun decorating the tree.
We had boxes of almost rare toys, streamers and garland.
My sister and I would hang candies on the tree and, of course, we were looking forward to the New Year, when we could sit down at the festive table, make a wish and watch New Year's concerts with the whole family on the couch by the hot radiator.
In childhood, all this created a truly magical mystery)
Do you still write wishes to Santa Claus or have you given up this good habit?
