About the book: 2016 / Here is the issue of the almanac “New Year”. In it we have collected the kindest and brightest New Year's stories and Christmas short stories, touching congratulations, magical and kind fairy tales from our authors. Their task is to bring peace and humility, tenderness and love into our hearts. The “New Year’s” almanac turned out to be bright, colorful, and memorable, as befits the last issue of the outgoing year. It will be a wonderful gift for you and your loved ones. Just imagine how pleasant it will be to leaf through this collection on gloomy autumn or stuffy summer days, remembering one after another the bright events of the past winter, listening to the distant howls of a blizzard and catching the anxious feeling of an approaching miracle. With this “word from the editor,” I also want to congratulate all authors and readers on the New Year and wish them strength and opportunity to implement their most daring ideas and plans. May all your plans come true, and may those that come true not disappoint! May the coming year be rich in bright, joyful events, and may you always have true friends, a beloved and devoted loved one next to you. I wish you not to lose courage, to maintain hope, faith and love in any situation. All the best, brightest, purest to you and your family. Happy New Year!
