Actors studio Quarter 95 traditionally prepare for the New Year gift to millions of Ukrainians - a very gay concert of the Evening Quarter, which will be released on December 31 on the channel 1 + 1. Telenedelya learned what presents for this holiday they give to their loved ones, what they receive in return and what New Year they remember most often.

Stepan Kazanin digs up the letters in the snow "The New Year is taking place on stage, at work," says Stepan Kazanin. - I do not even remember when the last time was a traditionally common holiday, that is, in front of the TV, at the Christmas tree, with a plate of olivier. So all the "New Years" are similar. Usually, when I return home after the event, half the family is already asleep, and half is happy with my return, after which it also quickly falls asleep. At best, I have time to drink champagne and congratulate my relatives.

In general, the New Year does not last long, but almost the entire first week of January. Our company during this period goes on vacation, and my family and I are leaving wherever. This year we plan to go to the warm regions. Although, honestly, I wanted to drive on skis and put on them a younger son. For our family the New Year is a real holiday, because for almost 10 days nobody needs anywhere, not work or school, and we can devote this time exclusively to each other.

I take gifts with great responsibility. The reaction of children to presents from Santa Claus is priceless. The younger son writes a letter in advance, we dig it in the snow or leave it in the freezer so that Santa Claus can read it. And when the New Year comes, Petya runs to the tree to see if his wish has come true. This is really cool to watch. It seems to be the same every time, but it always looks different ".

Elena Kravets is in talks with Santa Claus on the phone "The most incredible meeting of the New Year in my life is when I first celebrated a holiday without parents. We were about seventeen years old. In Krivoy Rog only the movement of STEMs. About the "Quarter" then no one thought, but everyone tried themselves on stage. We were a creative part of the city. No, not "golden youth", but those in whose circle all teenagers wanted to get. And here we meet the New Year in the Center for Children's Creativity. We were given a whole room there! There was an incredible number of people, each put one dish on a common table.

I even remember that Lena, Vova Zelensky's future wife, brought her mom's signature salad-very delicious, with pomegranate seeds. So that's the party was just unreal. We had a lot of fun. At some point we went to firecrackers and burn Bengal lights on the street. And then one of the crackers rolled under someone's parked car ... We decided that now there will be a big explosion, and ran to look at him from behind the bushes (laughs). But, fortunately, it cost. In general, that New Year is a student darkness, but a cheerful one. Nothing like this happened on New Year's Eve with me anymore, apparently, that's why I remembered it so.

With gifts, I also have an interesting story. Once we did not guess with the presentation of our eldest daughter Masha. She ordered some kind of cool player that just appeared on sale. But she wanted a rectangular, and Santa Claus brought a square. And now my husband and I started to defend Santa Claus: they say, he is old, he can not understand the technology. In addition, he was certainly without the Snow Maiden, who is younger and must tell him. In the end, Masha forgave such a mistake to Grandfather.

For a long time I did everything to make my daughter believe in New Year's miracles - even called Santa Claus on behalf of Masha and advised him on gifts (laughs). The child piously believed that I talked with him. There were cases when Grandfather said that there was no such gift in the store, but I asked to go to another store and look for more there. And then all these gifts must be hidden somehow! You leave, for example, on the eve of the New Year from home, because you are going to meet him elsewhere. Then, under some pretext, you rush into the apartment to put a gift under the tree. On January 1, all together, we return home and find gifts! To see at this moment children's eyes, filled with happiness and joy, is an incredible buzz. ".

Vladimir Zelensky does not accept orders "To be honest, for me the best holiday is when you can eat something that you can not all year (laughs). I mean everything not provided for dieters and sportsmen. That's how much Lena cooks Olivier - so much and I can sentence.

In general, New Year's Eve - it is some kind of special. Say, usually I do not watch TV. And when such a festive mood, when at the table the whole family, even advertising can suffer. Even better - an exotic New Year, in the warm regions, when you find somewhere a small Christmas tree and drop it into the sand. But this, unfortunately, I had a long time.

Naturally, in such a cool holiday without gifts in any way. Children do not exactly understand. I do not really take orders. What I liked: dress - daughter, toy - son, decoration - my wife, then I buy. Recently, of course, all the children were obsessed with gadgets of all kinds. But we accustom Sasha: if she studied well, it means that the gift will be good. Not very success - the gift will be, but a little worse. Fortunately, she tries, so she can count on what she dreams about. But for Cyril the best gift - when the pope remains at home. Then we can lie around, be pampered, fight - purely in a man's way! "Mika Fatalov fried shish kebabs at the request of Zelensky" The most memorable New Year in my life was when I was already working in the "Quarter". Together with the team we rented a private house in the Rusanovsky Gardens, where we met the 2010th. I was in charge of barbecue - I asked Vladimir Alexandrovich to fry them.

But it was necessary to do this quickly, because on television that year was the premiere of our musical "Like Cossacks ...", where I was first entrusted with playing a small role. To make meat faster, cut it twice as thin and just had time to air. But it seems to me, everyone was satisfied. I remember, very worried, how I will look in the frame. And when Borya Shefir (one of the authors and creators of the studio "Quarter 95". - Prim. red. ) said that I played well, stopped being nervous.

As for gifts, I usually like to make surprises. I was born on April 1 - the day when everyone plays each other, so everything is natural here (laughs). During our tour in Israel, we were invited to a diamond factory. In the New Year holidays there were good prices, I was led by them and bought my favorite ring. He returned to Kiev and thought: what to pull? And Mile made a proposal. Everything went according to the classical scenario: he got on his knee, and she let out a tear from happiness. But the most pleasant gift to me, I think, was the clock that my uncle Senya gave me. I started them and put them on exactly 00. 00 ».

Yuri Koryavchenkov leaves messages in the freezer "New Year is one of the most favorite holidays in our family. Every year children (their three - Andrew, Margarita and Mariana. - Prim. red. ) write messages to Saint Nicholas and Father Frost. They put papers in the freezer, and from there their Santa Claus and St. Nicholas themselves are taken away - they come for them on reindeer. Of course, they try to do everything that is ordered in these letters. After all, children are waiting for gifts.

My wife and I are having an incredible pleasure watching their enthusiasm. We rejoice that children still believe in miracles and that these miracles happen in our lives. It seems to me that parents should extend the fairy tale as long as possible, which is possible only in childhood.

I also received my brightest gift for the New Year in my childhood, from my parents. Once, on New Year's Day, I was presented with unrealistically steep watches of an expensive brand, in which there were as many as 16 melodies. I remember that I woke up from hearing an amazing melody, and then I found a gift from Santa Claus in a sack - Montana clock. It was cool! After school holidays, I returned as a hero - many boys envied me ".

Eugene Koshevoi in the dark ate a salad with ash "I remember that New Year, when the whole area lost electricity. It was in the late 90's, I was still living in Alchevsk ... We celebrated the feast at the cross. And Uncle Seryozha decided to save the holiday. I found two wires somewhere, I threw a phase into the entrance. No, not for mother-in-law, but for a phase. Next, a light bulb was built and fixed to the ceiling. Well and constantly burned Bengal lights that around was light. However, when the light was turned on, it was found that all the salads are now with ash and the remnants of these lights, so that the top layer of the dishes had to be removed.

Gifts I adore! In childhood we always had a living Christmas tree, and on the morning of January 1 my brother Dimon and I found a lot of interesting under her. And if they stayed on New Year's Eve at a visit to the godmother, the previously mentioned Uncle Seryozha acted as an intermediary between us, the children, and actually Father Frost. Uncle did the following: he called the door, which signaled the arrival of Santa Claus. But while we reached the entrance hall, Father Frost was already leaving. "He left gifts for you and left, he has a lot of work today," - explained to us uncle, showing a large red bag with gifts. And we believed him without any doubts ... My daughters on the eve of the holiday write letters with wishes. Well, as they write ... Serafima in his three years in a greater degree draws, and Father Frost then has a long time to decipher these wishes. But the eldest, Varvara, although writing letters, but, it seems to me, already began to guess who is in the house of Santa Claus. The main thing that we teach girls to do is to ensure that they take care of what they are given. It does not matter who is Santa Claus, mother with father or grandmother with grandfather ».

Alexander Pikalov celebrated New Year together with a cat "The most unusual New Year in my life happened when I celebrated it alone. All dispersed around the companies, and I returned home after the rehearsal and realized that I had not agreed to go anywhere with anyone. Well, I decided to celebrate one, or rather - together with a cat. It was a long time ago, in Krivoy Rog, before moving to Kiev. After this, I do not celebrate this holiday in general. I do not like New Year!.

It seems to me that he is some kind of artificial, unreal. So usually only "for", if this day we work with the team. By the way, on that "lonely" night I was visited by various philosophical thoughts: what is the meaning of life, what are my priorities. Therefore, I advise readers of Telenodeli to meet the New Year at least once in their own lives, alone, or with a pet - it helps to bring your thoughts in order.

But I always like to give presents. And I approach this matter with all responsibility. A real buzz - to give and get with your present to the point.

I always try to choose something necessary - for example, what a person dreams about, but can not afford. I do not like surprises. They only bring a couple of minutes of joy, and then they lie on the nightstand and collect dust. So I encourage everyone to give the right gifts, they really are more useful. To Himself, to be honest, he prefers to order. Although this is not necessary. Everyone knows that I love and they give me knives. Then, after a while, I can give them to someone, so I do not have a collection yet ".
