Time of Human Heat

With arrival of winter on calendar, time of holidays, Christmases and gifts comes nearer. But first of all presents it is heat, care. The children of the whole world, probably, with a sinking heart, wait the sounds of chimes in new-year night. And it all in connection with that since parents will invert the last page of calendar of this year, they are expected by new-year gifts.

Firstly it can show oneself that it banal and traditional thing. And exactly from traditional character it obtain the banality. But it far not so. New Year and Christmas it is a domestic heat and anxiety foremost. Buying a gift in a shop parents truck him not for the scraps of paper of green color, but on the that amount of heat and love, which they saved for the past year. Green scraps of paper it just loud «thank you» to the salespeople of enormous shops for that they pack the same «warm» messages.

New Year's holidays it almost the middle of winter, is severe frosts, cold hands, a lot of clothes if to speak easier – lack of heat. I think, gifts and care this that heat which so does not suffice us.

I remember, how in the childhood, on the eve of Christmas, all time interrogated the parents whence and as gets in the house Santa Claus, what for it gives all gifts, whether it is a pity to it to give so much toys another's and extraneous children.

Mum always smiled to me, sat down on knees and told, that Santa Claus it is such good grandfather who only and lives that gives gifts to children, certainly if they obedient (it, according to mum, an obligatory rule, though if frankly I not was ideally obedient during all year).

Probably, all of children loved the same stories about a grand-dad with a white beard, by deer and to the red jacket. And it is not nearly important, that every year stories were the same and that it all is a beautiful fiction for little babies, a that mood is important only in which all are been listening similar.

For me choice of new-year gifts – it is certain and the special ritual which not to have a look in with anything. It is impossible to come in a shop and simply at random to purchase that the first will get arm-in-arm. It is needed some time to think over.

In fact it is not simple holiday it is Time of Human Heat.
