New Year's mood. Toys

Before New year always such interesting state - expectation of a miracle, hope for fulfillment of desires, there is always a wish to feel holiday mood, as in the childhood.

For me Christmas tree decorations became one of obligatory attributes of a holiday. Many remained since the childhood, subjects they and are valuable. I adore glass, now they became difficult to be bought. Something remained, as they say, from Soviet period when we in the childhood decorated a fir-tree with balls, lodges, pears, hand bells, small lamps, cones of the Garland the father weighed, and they for some reason had to be repaired every year. Still he installed an artificial Christmas tree or a pine in the special turning adaptation, and it at us turned clockwise when in network, you include, of course. And at the same time garlands blinked. Now you will surprise with it nobody, but, I think, in our settlement during the period since 1980 on 1990 of which my conscious childhood was the share, it was the technical break.
I ask to excuse for involuntary plagiarism, but so far I wrote and edited a post for a competition, practically the same name came to mind to other maycharmelka Probably, before New year all of us equally think If I am in time, there will be some more posts with the same name.

I want to show our Christmas tree decorations.

How many years to this hand bell, I do not know, perhaps, it is more senior than me, one of the most favourite Christmas tree decorations. Always tried to hang up it higher that it did not break, but his fellow was not lucky. As well as to two pears - yellow and green the same size and age.
In this photo Neptune and clown. And, we long considered the first toy by Father Frost.

Icicle under the house name "Fire" too one of darlings.




Grapes, hand bells, revolving object







Balls the most part remained pink, the strongest, perhaps? Here in such ball with openwork we hid candies, and still a garland bulb.







Baskets was two Once too.

Having decorated a fir-tree, all family began to play guessing game - called the first and last letter of the thought toy or other ornament. In the dark, lit only raznotsvety garlands, was a volshebnoa still when came back home in the evening after the second change, always in a window the fir-tree through the glass ornamented by frosty patterns shone the lit fires.

We grew up, studied, a fir-tree did not put any time of the house, not for long, however at all. There were my daughters. And I wanted to buy toys again. While were, took in one shop every year 2-3 pieces. Now sell only plastic

The angel fascinated me at once
The gnome with a cat quite lovely
And the main characters of a New Year's holiday - Father Frost and the Snow Maiden
And it is the Little Red Riding Hood and a lodge.

New too quite often fought, especially when daughters helped to decorate a fir-tree, and here take from small fingers and slip out a fragile toy. You will sigh, you will tell "for luck", you will calm the child, you will remove splinters further to dress up. With the toys made with own hands too the fir-tree was decorated. And now with daughters, returning from kindergarten, were glad to see the shining fir-tree in a window of our house.

I compare the old toys from the childhood and new, mind I understand that the last better are made, the good portrayal, but is closer to heart those, from the childhood

I hope, I managed to share though a little New Year's Eve mood, nostalgia and expectation of a miracle in New year. I think that all will have an identical first desire...
