Gifts How New Year is celebrated in Russia No New Year's Eve is without presents. From the beginning of December, or even earlier, people start looking in the stores to find something really interesting for their family and friends. When a gift is chosen, it is beautifully wrapped and most often put under the Christmas tree. The ceremonial unpacking of the presents takes place as early as January 1. Santa Claus also does not forget to gift adults and children! He comes at night, when everyone is asleep, and leaves beautiful packages under the tree. The good tradition of exchanging gifts on New Year's Day makes this holiday even more magical and fabulous. Do not be lazy to make really pleasant surprises to your loved ones, because it will give them unforgettable emotions for the whole next year!
