The dressed-up fir-tree will become the center of attention again. Farewell sparks on it the garland and as if will present a second wind to slightly gloomy dress from balls, cones and tinsel will begin to shine. For creation of the mysterious and inspired atmosphere it is possible to light candles and even to carry out the first fortune-telling. It is considered that this night foretold and predicted turns everything into reality. As the simplest and popular options till present are considered:

- Guessing on bulbs. Each unmarried girl we choose on a bulb and puts in water. Whose before all will sprout, that and in marriage to have the luck to leave in it somewhat quicker.

- Guessing addressed to. Before going to bed the girl writes twelve notes with man's names. Turns them, mixes and puts under a pillow. In the morning to the touch gets one. What name will drop out, with it and darling will appear.

- Guessing on desire. It is necessary to make a wish and to call a cat from the neighboring room. If he does not come running and will cross a threshold the left pad, then wait for the fastest execution and if - right then not to be to this. If your pet does not respond at all, then rely only on the efforts.

Even if fortune-telling will not bring desirable messages and will not predict good luck and love, it does not mean at all that next year will be deprived of joy and fulfillments. Always trust in the best and be not tired to turn the dreams into reality. That New year rushed into your life fresh wind and presented the long-awaited pleasant moments, try to leave all grieves and quarrels in the past. Forgive all offenders, ask forgiveness for those who were touched and begin everything with a positive blank page.

Happy New Year!!!
