Волшебство случается
The closer New Year, the stronger nostalgia on crunchy snow. Even at the most inveterate skeptics and cynics this night hearts fight a little faster. Because New Year, whatever one may do and pretend to be that you in what magic don`t trust, is all the same miracle expectation. It is enough to remember and feel at least taste of tangerines, a smell of woolen mittens to which have stuck snow, grandmother`s fritters with honey...

This night, fireworks everywhere blow up, and the sky lights up with a round dance of the color sparks similar to fantastic fairies from any forgotten children`s cartoon film, and habitual and simultaneously strange silhouettes of fur-trees through glasses look brilliant multi-colored eyes of spheres. It almost as is fantastic, as Santa Claus who has climbed through a window leaf. In the world smells like a holiday…

In life there is a place to a positive miracle. Sincere, genuine and improbable! Because the magic is when words are added in rhyme... Verses also turn out. Magic is when usual packing of oil paints turns on a canvas to a surprising landscape. Magic - it happens. It can`t be planned. It is always. It is necessary not to wait for miracles, and simply to trust in them. After all they trap us continually.

You would like a little more magic on New Year`s? Then it is necessary to go and buy all gifts. And then to be at home at the TV with a cup of coffee and to wrap them in celebratory packing, without feeling sorry for bright paints and spangles ...

Перевод:

Чем ближе Новый год, тем сильнее ностальгия по хрустящему снегу. Даже у самых закоренелых скептиков и циников в эту ночь сердца бьются чуточку быстрее. Потому что Новый год, как ни крути и ни притворяйся, что ты ни во что волшебное не веришь, - это всё равно ожидание чуда. Достаточно хотя бы вспомнить и ощутить вкус мандаринов, запах шерстяных варежек, на которые налипли катышки снега, бабушкины блинчики с мёдом...

В эту ночь, повсюду взрываются фейерверки, и небо озаряется хороводом цветных искр, похожих на сказочных фей из какого-то забытого детского мультфильма, а привычные и одновременно диковинные силуэты ёлок сквозь стёкла смотрят блестящими разноцветными глазами шаров. Это почти так же сказочно, как пролезший через форточку Дед Мороз. В мире пахнет праздником...

В жизни есть место настоящему чуду. Искреннему, неподдельному и невероятному! Ведь волшебство - это когда слова вдруг складываются в рифмы... и получаются стихи. Волшебство - это когда обычная упаковка масляных красок превращается на холсте в удивительный пейзаж. Волшебство - оно случается. Его нельзя запланировать. Оно есть всегда. Надо не ждать чудес, а просто верить в них. Ведь они подстерегают нас на каждом шагу.

Вам хочется ещё немного волшебства под Новый год? Тогда нужно пойти и купить всем подарки. А потом сидеть дома у телевизора с чашечкой кофе и заворачивать их в праздничные упаковки, не жалея ярких красок и блёсток ...
