Happy New Year: congratulations for colleagues in prose

For the first time to celebrate the onset of the new year began to celebrate the ancient civilizations living in Mesopotamia around the third millennium BC. For them, this period came on the day of the vernal equinox and coincided with the beginning of agricultural work. In pre-Christian Russia, according to one of the existing versions, the New Year was celebrated on March 1 in accordance with the calendar based on the lunar cycle. It was the time of seeing off winter and the beginning of spring field work. Another version says that our ancestors celebrated the New Year on the day of the winter solstice - December 12 (December 25). This day was considered the shortest and coldest of the year.

Familiar today New Year's date appeared only in 1699, when by decree of Peter the Great Russia again switched to a new chronology, based on the Gregorian calendar. The Tsar decided that the celebration of the New Year was henceforth moved to January 1. The celebration was supposed to be cheerfully celebrated for a whole week, during which every evening near the Kremlin rattled cannons. At the same time in Russia for the first time began to decorate houses for the winter holiday with fir and pine trees.
