Santa Claus Santa Claus - a fabulous character, a symbol of the New Year in Russia. Santa Claus first appeared at Christmas in 1910, but did not become widespread. In Soviet times, a new image was spread: it appeared to children on New Year's Day and leaves gifts for children who behaved well during the year under the Christmas tree. He does not work alone, he is helped by the granddaughter of the Snow Maiden

Christmas tree In the 30s of the XIX century, Christmas trees were put on a holiday only in the houses of St . Petersburg Germans . By the end of the 19th century, Christmas trees became the main decoration of both city and village houses and in the 20th century were inseparable from the winter holidays until 1918, when due to the belonging of the decorated Christmas tree to Christmas ( i.e . the religion of the church) it was banned for as long as 17 years ( until 1935). And only in 1949 did January 1 become a day off . So putting Christmas trees in houses is not such an ancient invention as it might seem .
