From our childhood we dream about the day a New Year comes – a day, when all our dreams surely come true, a day for new beginnings and miracle is all around in the air. And symbols of this day are streets covered by snow and a beautiful New Year Tree. All these symbols can be found in Russia – a soft white snow and New Year decorations will make you feel it is a special day, and though it may be a bit cold outside a New Year 2008 dinner with Russian family will make you feel warm inside and this New Year will surely become a special and unforgettable in your life.
