Santa Claus’s birthday: “stars” explained the belief in magic

The famous Belarusian singer Dmitry Koldun was surprised that when meeting with Santa Claus, the Snow Maiden staggered a little, and not her grandfather: “I had several meetings with Santa Claus in my life,” Dima began the story. “The first of them took place at preschool age, in the parents’ house, Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden came to us.

And, oddly enough, he was sober, but the granddaughter staggered and stumbled a little. For some reason I remember it. I told them some poem, they gave me a set of Soviet sweets. I was very pleased with this gift. The next time I participated in the New Year’s party: the first class, the sports hall of the Minsk school. Santa Claus held an audience for first-graders. I was dressed as a musketeer, I had to sing a song to him. But for some reason I got nervous and forgot everything. I was very shy, but Santa Claus reassured me, said that I was still doing well and gave me a coloring book.

But a year later something happened that many parents fear. Little Dima learned that no Santa Claus exists. But he was not upset when he found out the truth about who puts gifts under the Christmas tree: “The next year I found out that Frost didn’t exist … when I saw dad laying gifts under the Christmas tree at two in the morning in home sweats,” recalls Koldun. “But it was then that I realized who the real Santa Claus is. I have now become him myself for my children. On one of the New Year’s dinners, I managed to quietly run out from the table, dressed in a suit and gave everyone gifts. Then also quietly returned. And my son was very upset that I missed everything, and Santa Claus did not give me a gift. ”

Beauty Anna Semenovich admitted that she wrote letters to Santa Claus for a very long time at a time when her peers no longer believed in him: “Santa Claus has always been and remains the main magician for me, who fulfills cherished desires. faith in a fairy tale and Grandfather. Already being old enough, when they usually don’t believe in Santa Claus, I still wrote him a letter asking for a Barbie doll, which was then unavailable in Russia, Anna recalls with trepidation. One day Semenovich’s dream came true. Her dad brought the longed-for gift, but behind the scenes in the family they continued to believe that Santa Claus brought the doll under the Christmas tree. By the way, even now he often brings the desired gifts. The main thing, according to Anna, is to continue to believe in him, and then he will fulfill wishes.

Poet and singer Alina Delisse believes in miracles. Of course, she knows that Santa Claus is not real, but he does not cease to be for her a symbol and a harbinger of the New Year’s miracle and feelings: “And this magic persists throughout my life. It is important for me to keep that sparkle in my eyes that arose when I first saw Grandfather Frost in childhood, I received a treasured gift from him.It’s like faith that leads you along the road to a miracle.

Santa Claus symbolizes a lot of expectations, when everything starts anew from a white sheet, white snow, a new year, and he comes to our homes from our favorite fairy tales. This, of course, is the warmest family tradition. Seeing Santa Claus, you feel like a child again, and this is endless youth, curiosity, when you already know a lot in life, but continue to believe in a miracle. For me, Santa Claus exists even now, this is a true story. And I wish everyone that he exists in reality in your souls and hearts.

The young singer Sasha Kruglova every year until the morning was awake in anticipation of Santa Claus, but so with the expectation of a miracle she fell asleep: “I really believed in Santa Claus. windows. I lay there until five in the morning with my eyes open and waited for a miracle. But, of course, I fell asleep, and in the morning I found gifts under the tree, and I was worried that I had missed the appearance of Grandfather in our house again! ”

The singer Tatyana Kotova also has the realization that she never stopped believing in the winter wizard. Every year I wrote letters to him, and never even in my thoughts could I imagine that it was not he who gives gifts: “Like all children, I, of course, believed in Santa Claus and looked forward to the arrival of the New Year holidays and a magical meeting with him, — recalls Tatyana. She always wrote him letters asking for gifts. Once my mother told me: “Tanya, write to Santa Claus that you want a big candy and a doll.”

Now I understand that at that time my parents formed certain requests for what they were going to give me. I wrote a long letter in which I asked Father Frost for a Western chocolate bar, which was a rarity then. And it was a real miracle and a great joy when under the tree I found not only this gift, but also many more different chocolates. And I was absolutely sure that Santa Claus had read my letter and made my wish come true.”

And so it happened from year to year, a miracle and a holiday always came to her house. And in fact, in the life of little Tanya there was no situation when she suddenly suddenly realized that Santa Claus does not exist. She still continues to believe in him in her soul, he reciprocates and every year fulfills New Year’s wishes: “This is a part of my childhood that remains with me throughout my life.”

But the singer, a member of the famous group “Brilliant” Nadia Ruchka, has always had a special relationship with the country’s main magician. She understood from early childhood that this is a fictional character: “Santa Claus came to me once. They say that from childhood I was too realistic a child and somehow immediately began to understand that Grandfather Frost is, although fabulous, beautiful, but still a fictional character. Therefore, my parents did not invite Grandpa to me. “

The most interesting thing is that Ruchka began to love Santa Claus at a conscious age. Apparently, the desire for a miracle and joy on New Year’s Eve prevailed: “I myself was the Snow Maiden more than once on holidays. I remember how a few years ago it was here, on the pages of Moskovsky Komsomolets, that Mikhail Shufutinsky was my Father Frost.
