Celebration of the New Year is always a miracle of dreams and bright hopes, and holiday joyful expectations. It is not surprising that all the children love it.
Who is he, Saint Nicholas? Is he the Guest from heaven who the children always wait for? He is the defender of the poor and disadvantaged. People love him, solemnly celebrate St. Nicholas Day, invite guests. He is most respected by the children because he is their guard of honor and always comes with gifts.
