Snow and ice decorations in Siberia in 2011-2012. The first out of many posts

Hello, everyone! First of all, I would like to wish all of you Happy New Year!
I was pretty busy these days, and not only was it business, but a lot of hectic with New Year preparations and celebrations.
We have already started celebrating with my children, both of them had a party at their kindergarten, and today we visited a public party for children in a big concert hall.
It was wonderful! All of us were really happy.
And after that we started visiting ice and snow 'towns', as we call them here. They are usually situated in parks, on squares and in yards of big houses.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Dear readers! I know it's been again a long time since I last wrote. The end of a year is usually a pretty busy time, seems like everyone is trying to complete all the tasks one hasn't managed to fulfill during a year.
So I had a lot of translation, and it is mostly translation I do in winter. No guided tours since October. But I hope the Christmas week may be different. A year ago, for example, I had two city tours, on the 3rd and on the 7th of January, though it was about -30 on both days!

But this post is a Merry Christmas wish to everyone who happens to read my blog. I am very happy to see each of you here, as I see that I tend to have more readers and this year was special, as I started to receive comments to my posts. I would like to wish all of you Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
May God bless you, your family and your friends!
May your business, should you have some, grow, and may all your dreams come true!

I promise to write a post about this year winter decorations in my city. A lot of snow and ice figures are under construction now, and I try to take my camera with me every time I leave my house.
