HAPPY NEW YEAR

In England, taken on New Year's performances for children to play on the themes of old English fairy tales. Lord of Chaos is a fun carnival procession, which is attended by fairy-tale characters: Hobby Horse, March Hare, Humpty Dumpty, Punch and others. All New Year's Eve street vendors selling toys, whistles, Tweeters, masks, balloons.

This custom originated in England to share the New Year greeting cards. The first Christmas card was printed in London in 1843.

Before going to bed the children put on the table a plate for gifts that they bring Santa Claus and put shoes in the hay - a feast for the donkey.

On the arrival of the New Year heralds the bell. Truth calls it begins a little before midnight and makes it a "whisper" - a blanket, which he wrapped prevents him to demonstrate the full power. But exactly at twelve bells undress, and they begin to call loudly in honor of the New Year.

In English houses the New Year table is served with turkey kashatnami and fried potatoes with sauce and braised Brussels sprouts with meat pies, followed by pudding, sweets, fruit.

In the British Isles is widespread custom of "admission of the New Year" - the symbolic threshold of transition from a past life to the new. When the clock strikes 12, opened the back door of the house, to release the old year, and with the last kick of hours open the front door, letting in the New Year.
