We are preparing for the New year in advance. Clean the house, decorate the room with garlands. Our Christmas tree stands in the room, like a Princess: high and fluffy. This Christmas tree my dad bought recently, long chose and has chosen such, that now you admire it all who to us comes. Dad bought a Christmas tree and usually decorate it only with my mother. This year my mom bought new Christmas decorations – painted balls. Very unusual and interesting. I liked it. In addition to toys, we decorate a small Christmas tree with red bows. And on top of the tree I attached a brilliant star. It turns out we have the most beautiful Christmas tree.
