How to Believe in a Miracle. Christmas story

Pleasant fuss, euphoria, elegant Christmas tree, blue lights on TV, fireworks, chimes with champagne - all this is a traditional set of one of the most light and magical holidays of the year - the New Year.

But the hero of this tale did not want to buy the New Year's tariff. He decided to surprise everyone and himself - to go to bed.

On the morning of December 31, Cyril woke up in a spirit of "I declare a boycott of mandarins, olivier and congratulations. Santa Claus does not exist, there will be no miracles on this day. "

In this mood, he went to work, where on that day he was ready to work alone, without tinsel on his neck and with documents in his hands. After work, he went home.

23.30 Cyril completed his report, disconnected all communications, put on his headphones, so as not to hear a single sound of enchanting celebration and went to bed.

23.50 - Okay, I, perhaps, will meet the New Year, I will drink a glass or 3 champagnes and go to sleep again, and tomorrow I will congratulate everyone. It's been 10 minutes, and on the clock everything is also 23.50. He switched on the phone, the computer, but time is frozen, there are no "chimes" on TV, there are no congratulations on social networks.

The street is quiet, straight as he dreamed. Time passed, nothing changed.

Cyril ran to his street, looked around the city, not a single hint of the holiday and in general life. The thought was one "I am a legend". Of course, it's cool to be a movie hero, but not that.

And then he shouted: "I was joking, I want to have fun, and I always believed in Santa Claus, well, in my childhood, of course."

- So, so, I changed my mind after all, I thought to put you in the Red Book, like a crazy kind that does not want to celebrate the New Year - there was a funny voice somewhere.

- Who is it? And I'm normal, so I changed my mind.

"I am the Dragon, the symbol of next year." And you stayed alone in 2011.

"Why do you have the wings of an angel?"

"Ah, I forgot to take this off Halloween," answered the Dragon.

"Come on, clean your spell, it's your business, decided to teach me a lesson and all that."

"Well, listen, every country has its traditions this night, to fulfill one and you in 2012." In Italy, throw away the old trash: furniture or equipment.

"It's out of the question, everything's new for me," answered Kirill.

- Here's another, in Bulgaria they turn off the lights for a moment and kiss.

"Let's say, but with whom, with you for nothing, you have a flame out of your mouth!"

- In Spain, eat as many grapes as possible. Eat 12 grapes, but inside there will be burning pepper.

Finishing the last grape, Cyril himself almost turned into a fire-breathing dragon, but he was determined. And the New Year did not come.

At that time the dragon laughed mockingly. He brazenly joked.

Then he said: "Close your eyes and think. You do not have to believe in the miracle of Santa Claus either, but you did not want to congratulate the people who expect most of all - your parents and the girl, she, by the way, hopes to celebrate the holiday with you. "

Opening his eyes, Cyril saw the dragon in place of the radiance. He immediately dialed his favorite numbers and ran into the meeting of the most sincere magic holiday with the closest people to the sound of fireworks.
