Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

My warmest greetings to my friends and their families, to my readers and to so many talented in different fields, kind, deep, wise and funny people I know due to blogging, you inspire and encourage me every day, thank you so much!

Why hares?
I live in interesting country, you know.
We celebrate 24th December Catholic Christmas (as we call it),
then New Year on 1st January,
on 7th January we celebrate Orthodox Christmas,
14th January is the celebration of New Year (old style dates calculation, that calendar was used in Russia before 1917 revolution)
and middle February (I am afraid I do not know the exact date) the Chinese New Year.
And here comes the hares.. This Chinese year is year of hare, we have a lot of symbols all over the city, so I was very much inspired))))

Chin-chin!
