Dec 29-30, 2009 - Decorating the Home

Yesterday, I didn't post anything here, but it doesn't mean, that there was no joy the previous day ;)

Actually, the joy continues even today! These days, my family and I are decorating the Christmas trees (there are 3 of them!) and the rooms. You know New Year's Eve is already tomorrow!

But though it is coming only in a day, the feeling of the X-maz holidays has already been existing so long! At least for a week! And I'm sure it'll last for a long time! You know, in Russia Christmas is celebrated on Jan 7 that's Dec 25 according to Orthodox church (or Julian) calendar. By the way, it lets the Russian to celebrate New Year's Eve twice: in the nights of Dec 31/Jan 1 and Jan 13/Jan 14 :)

There are some photos of the decorating of our home below:

Dec 21, 2009 - Christmas Holidays Are Coming

Truly speaking, today was a very difficult day. I returned from work very exhausted.

Do you think I had no joy today?

Wrong! I had!

My mother and I decided to start decorating our living room. And that was real fun!

Yeah! New Year's Eve and Christmas are coming!

You know, I'm from Russia, and I am an Orthodox. That's why I celebrate Christmas on Jan 7. So, I am going to wait for it for more than a fortnight! But already now something merry, sparkling and blinking has rushed into the living :)

Here are some photos of our work:
