There are three stages of man: he believes in Santa Claus; he does not believe in Santa Claus; he is Santa Claus.” — Bob Phillips

At all times, the New Year should always be a happy children’s holiday.

 A beautiful Christmas tree, letters to Santa Claus, waiting for a gift, walking with parents — all this will happen! 

In our family, Santa Claus brought sweets to the children every night, starting from December 25 to January 14 (Old New Year), and in New Year’s Eve  our sons got the most great gifts. 

The paradox is that when we stop believing in Santa Claus, we can turn into Santa Claus ourselves. Have you seen the surprised, delighted and a little scared eyes of a child who tells poems to this fabulous character?

 Winter has come  in Yekaterinburg, we had a retro photo session  at Olga Kotova’s workshop in the Art House studio. Lovely Vesta and Veles (yes, such wonderful names the children) felt the New Year’s mood with the smell of tangerines, beautiful New Year’s cards. We all got joy and a wonderful mood at this photo shoot.

 So, the New Year’s shooting season has begun! Let’s invent and prepare costumes, buy gifts. 

  There are three stages of man: he believes in Santa Claus; he does not believe in Santa Claus; he is Santa Claus.” — Bob Phillips
