Как здорово долгими зимними вечерами читать замечательные стихи, любимые сказки, и разглядывать проверенные временем картинки! А наутро отправляться гулять, кататься на санках, коньках или лыжах и, вспоминая прочитанное, радоваться пушистому снегу, искристому инею и озорному морозцу!
These wonderfully festive poems with beautiful illustrations never fail to bring with themselves a flurry of gentle snowflakes and the sense what it was like being small and anticipating for New Year celebrations. Chatting with siblings and parents while decorating the most special tree - because it holds and evokes all the memories and warm feelings - with favourite ornaments, and home with evergreen branches and homemade decorations always makes the holiday season feel special. These poems can take you back to that special time of happy tree lights, walks and plays in the snow. After all the skating and epic snowball fights - whenever there was a heavy snowfall - coming in from the frosty air to steamy cup of cocoa and shortbread cookies to boot was part of our childhood.

Deciding whose snowman turned out prettier was also fun, too. And just simply walking among the towering snowdrifts, that were thrice taller than us, was among our favourite childhood delights as well :D Art by Lidiya Gladneva
