Since December 20, New Year markets have opened in all districts of Moscow. Together with “Antenna”, Arina Sharapova, the host of the “Good Morning” program, went to choose a living forest beauty.

– The Christmas trees of my childhood were frail, with small needles, they crumbled from the very beginning. They put the tree in a three-liter jar, and around it was already a “carpet” of needles. When the holidays were over, grandmother threw the tree out the window at night. Of course, I carefully watched beforehand so that she did not fall on anyone’s head. That was such an illegal ejection operation. And I know that not only my grandparents were different in this, in the center of the city where we lived, many loved to do this. Since then, remembering these crumbling Christmas trees, I am somehow afraid to buy felled trees and put artificial houses. But I really love living trees. Now I walked around the bazaar with great pleasure and realized that they were different, not like in my childhood. I shook the Christmas tree – the needles are beautiful, they do not fall off. The strength test is passed, so you can take it.
I think that those who find a real tree an expensive pleasure should take this into account in the future and save up for it in advance. Just gradually save money, and so the purchase will become less tangible in terms of costs, and it can please you for a whole month. Most likely, I will celebrate the New Year at the dacha, by the fireplace, with a living tree that grows in the yard.
First memory
– I immediately came up with an iron curbstone in the center of the city on Delegatskaya Street. I don’t know why she was there, maybe she had some historical value. Winter, evening, the snow creaks underfoot, the temperature is somewhere minus 15 degrees, I go up to this curbstone and lick it with my tongue. I remember my mother’s scream and how it hurt.
Favorite place
– Zaryadye, Red Square and Grauerman’s house, where I was born.
Metro station
– “Mayakovskaya”. I cried when the square around it was redesigned, a swing was installed and everything around the monument was completely changed, because along with these changes my childhood passed away. I spent a lot of time in this area. True, then I came there with friends, we rode on a swing, and I even liked it.
Traffic jams
– It seems to me that there are fewer of them, as are the cars in the center.
Dish number one
– I love Olivier salad, but I don’t eat it, because it is very high in calories. I will allow myself only for the New Year.
Desk book
– Recently I read a book by Paul Guet “I am Josephine” about the amazing wife of Napoleon.
