New Years Tree

New Year's is one of the most widely celebrated holidays in Russia, and the New Year's tree is a major part of traditional celebrations. Rather than the traditional Christmas tree, Russians have New Year trees, which serve a similar purpose. Like Christmas trees, the New Year's trees are elaborately decorated and often become the centerpieces of holiday decorations in many Russian homes. After the 1917 Bolshevick Revolution the celebration of religious holidays was banned in Russia; residents began decorating New Year's trees instead.Russian Crafts: Russian Christmas Daily Vanguard: Russian traditions for celebrating the New Year

Start a New Tradition with a New Year Tree

Even if you aren't in Russia, you can make your own traditions within your family by saving your Christmas tree and turning it into a festive New Year's tree. Simply remove all the ornaments, keep the colorful lights and tie ribbons or candy to the branches. Any color other than the traditional Christmas red and green can turn your old Christmas tree into a brand new New Year's decoration!http://familyfun.go.com/new-years/new-years-parties/new-years-fun-and-games-705220/5/
