Julia Mikhalkov, actress:
- I love to make useful and necessary gifts. Therefore, I always try to learn in advance from my home what exactly they want to get. This is the first part of gifts. And the second, as they say, from "Santa Claus". These are spontaneous gifts. Sometimes I go shopping, I see some thing and understand, this is an excellent gift, for example, for mom. Without thinking, buying. I have never happened so that the gift does not like. Intuition does not fail.
- Do you remember the most memorable new year in life?
- Once I met a new year on the street, on the third transport ring. We rode from one speech to another. The battle of the Kurats found us in the car on the TTK in traffic! Imagine, on New Year's Eve there was a traffic jam ... everyone stopped, left the cars. Congratulated each other, passengers drank champagne. Then everyone got into their cars and went further, someone - celebrate, and I am to work.
- What do you wish yourself for the new year?
- I do not like to make some material things. I am sure that each of us, if desired, is able to independently implement such desires. I always guess that the coming year for all of us - me and my relatives - was no worse than the outgoing. While this wishes always came true. I want to wish each of you the most important - love. When a native person is near, then solve all the questions, to conquer all the vertices, overcome any obstacles becomes much easier.

- Mikhail, tell me how will you celebrate the New Year?
- In our family, they really believe in the tradition that they will meet as New Year, so they will spend it. Therefore, we try to always meet him together and are very fun. And we celebrate the holiday several times. New Year for me exclusively family holiday. Unlike many of my colleagues, in recent years I'm trying not to work on New Year's Eve. I am happy that I have a big family. We are already 13 people, plus my brother, his wife and children. TOTAL 17! I am a very happy man. Every year I make a desire, in which I am pleased with the health and happiness to them all.
- What is new year for you?
- The new year has always been the main holiday in the house. Even at no simple times, this day was celebrated on the highest category. Parents always tried to create a fairy tale for me. I grew at such a time after the war, when we lived quite modestly. Special gifts did not have to see. For me, it was always joyful when I was suddenly brought a ticket to the Christmas tree - in the column hall or in the Kremlin. There we gave wonderful gifts - metal boxes with Drawn Santa Claus and Snow Maiden. Inside were amazing cookies, candy and tangerines. Imagine, open such a box, and the aroma of tangerines is separated.
- Do you follow some kind of New Year's tradition?
- The most important New Year tradition, which we would always like to follow, collect the whole family at a common table. Unfortunately, it is not always possible. We are all scattered at different places on Earth. But here it is when it succeeds, this is a real holiday! New Year with the whole family is necessarily a lot of treats, gifts.
- What do you wish yourself and others for the new year?
- I would like to wish everyone so that in the new year it came, finally, the life rest. So that the families have comfort and warm. All this together and is called the word "happiness."

- This new year will be special for me. For the first time we will meet him with my little daughter, which appeared half a year ago. It will be her first new year. We will meet it in a family circle.
- Can you remember the most memorable new year in your life?
- Two years ago we met the New Year in the village of Makaraksky in Siberia. These are your favorite places of my husband, and now - and mine. There was a very soulful atmosphere, the sea of snow, the real Russian winter. But the most cheerful moment was the anti-closure New Year's disco in the real rural club. We organized dancing, contests. This new year in my memory will remain for a long time.
- Do you like to make gifts?
I adore make gifts! For the new year, this is basically something related to the theme and symbolism of the upcoming year. This time - goats. I buy all my friends porcelain statuettes of goats. I really love china give and get, I collect it collective. And the most memorable gift was made to me in childhood in the house of Grandparents. I literally left the room, and when I returned, I was waiting for a gigantic bag with tangerines, sweets and nuts under the Christmas tree. It was a real miracle! Of course, I was told that Santa Claus had just come, but I missed him. I was completely not upset, because I was knew the gift.
