Gifts to children for New Year
• Children look forward Santa
Claus's arrival. They hang out
at a fireplace socks for gifts.
On a legend, once Santa got
through in a flue and at him
from pockets gold coins fell
down. Coins haven't fallen in
coals, and have got to a sock
that dried at a fireplace. Since
then children hang up socks
for Santa. Before New Year
children write letters with the
desires and burn in a
fireplace. Then smoke from a
pipe gets directly to the kind
old man, and that grants
desires of the little friends.
