INTRODUCTION
New Year is a good family holiday, one of the oldest in the world. First it was celebrated about 4 thousand years ago in Babylon. Ancient Romans considered March to be the first month of a year, because field works at this time began. Celebrating began on March, 23 by a modern calendar, and was lasting for 11 days. A year consisted of 10 months, then number of months increased by two. In 46 AD the Roman emperor July Caesar transferred the beginning of a year for January, 1. The Julian calendar named after the emperor, was distributed across all the Europe [2:78-84].
The custom to light up fur-tree fires came from ancient times from Germany and England. During those old times people gathered in a winter wood around an evergreen fur-tree, lit up fires near it, sang, danced and had fun [5:56].
