Let me tell you one funny story which happened with my friend on the last New Year holiday. His name is Mikhail.

It was thirty first of December. The weather was excellent. My friend was going to visit me to celebrate New Year together. He departed from Moscow to Minsk in the morning by his own car. Everything went well.

But suddenly, he saw the strange man in the middle of the road. Mikhail pressed on the brake immediately to prevent the accident and his car stopped for 1 meter from this man. Then my friend left his car to find out what happened with this strange man and why he was staying in the middle of the road. When Mikhail approximated to him he saw that this man was dressed the suit of Santa Claus and he looked very dirty. My friend asked him what happened and the strange Santa told that he was traveling across all cities by auto-stop because he doesn’t have his own accommodation at all.

“Today is New Year and I put on this suit to congratulate all the people with this great holiday” – he said.

Mikhail felt sorry for him and suggested him to go to Minsk together. “Santa” agreed with gladness.  

When they arrived in Minsk and told me his story we offered our new fried to remain with us and celebrate New Year together. We suggested him to have a shower and to eat something of course and also to clean his festive suit.

So, at the end of this story when our other friends came we had our own Santa Claus on our New Year party.

It was very funny and we was very satisfied at our New Year!
