Celebrating New Year in Russian style, step 1

20 Dec – writing a letter to the Father Frost

You all know that the symbol of the New Year in Russian is Father Frost or Grandfather Frost as we call him – Дед Мороз. He lives in the North of Russia and a small town called Great Ustyug Ded Moroz is often shown wearing a heel-length fur coat, a semi-round fur hat, and valenki or jackboots on his feet. Unlike Santa Claus, he is often depicted as walking with a long magical staff

In advance, before the NY children use to send letters to Father Frost where they share what is their dream. You may also send him a letter and hope that next coming year your dream will come true!

Address
162340, Россия, Вологодская область, город Великий Устюг, дом Деда Мороза
