The Belarusian Ded Moroz, the master of the estate in Belovezhskaya Pushcha, shared tips on how to properly celebrate the New Year at the BELTA press center.
"New Year is a family holiday. The more relatives and friends gather around the table on New Year's Eve, the more joy there will be, the more memorable the holiday will be, and the more opportunities there will be to wish each other kindness, happiness, and health. It seems to me that this is the most important thing. Kindness, mutual understanding, and a sense of joy are necessary, and everything else will follow. You need to think about good things and believe in good things – this is the primary condition for the New Year holidays to be celebrated at a high level," said Ded Moroz.
During the winter period, the number of guests at the estate in Belovezhskaya Pushcha significantly increases. "There is a lot of work. You need to get into the right mindset, feel like a magician, because everyone believes in the fairy tale that we create. You can come and see for yourself that Ded Moroz and Snegurochka are always on duty and welcoming guests," noted the master of the estate.
Every year, the Belarusian Ded Moroz receives about 17,000 letters. "The volume of mail increases in the run-up to the New Year. Both adults and children write. We also receive letters from neighboring countries and from distant foreign countries. There are messages in Chinese and Japanese as well," he added.
The Belarusian Ded Moroz meets with his colleagues from other countries – Ded Moroz from Veliky Ustyug, and the Finnish Joulupukki. He has also visited the Karelian Pakkaine, the Buryat Sagan Ubgun, and the Tatar Kysh Babay.
This year, a commemorative sign for the New Year was unveiled at the estate of the Belarusian Ded Moroz in Belovezhskaya Pushcha. The forged composition was installed next to the main Christmas tree of the estate. The commemorative sign is a clock face showing two minutes to midnight. Nearby are the main attributes of Ded Moroz – felt boots, a staff, a mitten, and a bag with gifts. The opening of the new art object is timed to coincide with the 15th anniversary of the winter wizard's residence.
The Belteleradiocompany is broadcasting live from the residence of Ded Moroz in Belovezhskaya Pushcha on its website. For this purpose, three webcams have been installed in the main locations of the complex, offering views of Ded Moroz's estate, and the clearings "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" and "The Twelve Months."
