Or here - standing in the middle of our hospitable Radisson BLU hotel is a huge gingerbread house and smells of Christmas, childhood and gifts! Such a large kiosk pasted with real gingerbread and sweets, sugar icicles and glazed cookies. Okay, let it (to be honest) smell like cinnamon and spices, but they build it in the hotel lobby every year. Just! And adults (!) And children constantly tear away sweets and cookies from it. Sometimes, of course, an ad appears in the window of the house asking “not to eat jewelry from it,” but everyone who is not lazy continues to eat it with great pleasure. Just! And the hotel staff is happy about this business and do not scold anyone for real. Because people need both gingerbread houses and joyful memories that bring us all back to childhood! To a Christmas tree in my mother’s apartment with funny toys and Santa Claus from papier-mâché, to homemade snowflakes carved from a notebook and glued to the black square of the window, to the confetti scattered across the floor, which everyone will not be willing to clean tomorrow. Long live winter and the holidays that have come with it!
Let us greet the coming year 2010 and wish it to be happy, kind and joyful! Let’s start right from January 1, we’ll start smiling all together and each individually! Let's give each other presents! Just like that, no chance. Let's not offend each other in vain! Let everyone congratulate his (his) beloved on Valentine's Day. And let this not be “our” holiday, but what a wonderful one. And let's recall the lines from the song of Bulat Okudzhava written by the poet back in 1975:
"... Let's exclaim, admire each other.
Arrogant words should not be feared.
Let's compliment each other -
it's all love happy moments.
.... Let's live indulging in each other, -
moreover, such a short life "....
I have nothing more to add to this, but you? Let's live in peace! After all, the year of the Tiger (which can bite and scratch on occasion) is just beginning .... See you.
Sincerely, Elena Olkhovskaya
