Fa La Freezing

Well, now we have such a strange season in Samara - it's 15C bellow zero, but there are practically no snow on the streets... Basically you can't find many evidences or signs of upcoming Holidays (a few garlands and x-mas trees in foreign-owned firms doesn't count), except so called "New Year corporative parties", so the only difference between "New Year party" and ordinary party is that name - "New Year" ...and may be that drunk guy with extremely strange sense of humor called Dedushka Moroz :)) I don't want to say that they do absolutely nothing about decorating the streets, they place quite nice nylon stars on the pillars, but in comparison with western countries it's too little.
Ok, I understand that majority in Russia don't want to celebrate "western" Christmas, but why the hell they think that creating festive mood means to buy and decorate a tree a few hours before New Year and to dump it next morning?! The the pleasure should be prolonged :))

Anyway, if they don't want to cheer us up, we will do it ourself :)))))

That funny X-mas/Chanukah movie I've found this morning:))))
