Today i'll go to the cinema to watch "Disney's a Christmas Carol". I like a Chiristmas fairytales. This film is movie by Robert Zemeckis! It's a genius director. 

I think that this film is like a his Polar Express. When i firstly watched this movie, i was amazing, how can he pass this mysterious mood and secret ambience!

I anew have believed in a Christmas miracle!

And today i would like to have the same feeling!

There is a excellent graphics!! Super-mega-graphics)) 

You must admit that obviously for what did spend budget of film was obvious! 

Image of general hero so exact, so interestin 3D, the best that i saw.

Plot. When i came out th cinema i had a one thought: there is neatly, without luscious passing the simple truth, and there is so the beautiful and warm end.

And i want to show up so fairy and classic Christmas mood, and spirit of victorian England!

Five of a five!

Hi Slovec.

You wrote New year event is more popular in Russia than Christmas..

It is same in Japan.

New year's days, from 1st to 3rd, most of schools and business are closed.

Family members and near relatives get together.

Having meals together, like feast, and exchanging greetings.

And funy thing for foreigners, kids get money from parents, grandparents,

and near relatives.

They are lokking forward to them.

So I am going to have to give them some money.Frown

It is called "Otohidama" in Japan.

You are so young so that you might to able to get it if you come to Japan

around Nwe year....

Just kidding..Laughing

See you.

>>Bur I heard that Christmas in Russia is in January....

>>Is that right?

Yes, it is.  Because, 25 December is day of Catholic Christmas, 7 January is day of Orthodox Christmas.

>>What kind of Christmas likes to be in Russia?

In Russia the more popular winter holiday is a New Year. Christmas is a formal, and generally belivers celebrate it.

>> Is there any special thing?

There are interesting customes, but in modern Russia ones died, it is a very pity =(

Probably, if you want to change the world, you must begin from yourself. You must take a detached view and realize WHAT can I do for this world that one will be better? Plant a tree? Smile for a stranger? Does merit the world my attentions and efforts.. this world that is around? This questions is one's without answers. Questions for each of us. Somebody decided this task for themself, but somebody have thought yet. I yet haven't decided.

OHHHH, there is a lot to do for us

 

1. we have to learn to protect our Earth

avoid all wast, keep the earth clean

 

2. We have to learn to live in peace

avoid wars due to water, oil or whatever ppl need.

 

3. We have to share , things we have 

like food and water.

 

4. We have to learn, to be friendly to the ppl next to us. 

I try to realize that things, but when I come to ebaby, very often I see comments, full of agression. We have to say  S T O P P

to members, who are going that way.

“There is wind at room...impossible…” Tinsel was shaking on spruce. I have been looking over Christmas tree for 20 minutes. It stayed in the middle of hall. Huge white sphere-decoration…on it I saw reflection of man, I turned round abruptly…nobody. It was windy and sheet put down on my legs: “Sasha, whatever you know it is an illusion”. Arms was shaking therefore sheet put down, but it wasn’t fly to floor and it was dissolved at air. I stayed and looked at floor… I’m afraid to turn round and to look at tree. Nasty voice ringed in my ears: “Sasha, it’s an illusion”. Big window was opened abruptly and an envelope flew in room with gust. I recognized it at once. Tears were shed on my cheeks. On envelope there were exact monograms: “For Father Christmas”. This letter was 30 years old. I opened a familiar envelope. Yes…from my arm: “Dear, Father Christmas, I want to be a happy”…but down from stranger’s arm: “Sasha, whatever you know… it is an illusion”
