NEW YEAR HOLIDAY
In Uzbekistan among all the national holidays the New Year Holiday is the favourite one. It is celebrated on the 1st of January. Usually on the New Year’s Eve people send each other greetings and souvenirs, decorate their homes and New Year’s Trees with coloured bright lights. Families gather together at their parents’ and celebrate the holiday. There are always a lot of delicious meals, fruits, cakes, salads, chocolates and drinks on the table. As a culmination Father Frost in traditional clothes with long white beard comes to congratulate small children. They recite poems, sing songs, play games and have a lot of fun. As a prize they receive New Year presents from a big red sac of Father Frost. Young people prefer to celebrate the New Year Holiday in their own manner. They arrange evening parties where they dance, listen to music and have a 31 joyful time. At midnight when bells ring friends exchange hugs and kisses saying “Happy New Year!” In big cities the New Year Holiday is celebrated with carnavals, concerts and fireworks. Streets, squares and houses are decorated with paintings, flags, toys and lights. New Year’s Day is traditionally the time to start new projects and programmes, and give up bad habits.
