“New Year Wishes and Christmas Miracles”

On December 24, 2015, the festive event “New Year Wishes and Christmas Miracles” took place in the bright, beautifully decorated hall of the “Ընտանիք” Children and Youth Creative Center, which was adorned in keeping with the spirit of the holiday.

Joyful songs and dances, along with the theatrical performance, brought fresh energy and enthusiasm to both the audience and the participants. The group leader’s individual approach made the playful rivalry among the forest animals even more engaging. Their determination not to give up and to pass the year on to the next animal created an increasingly intense yet warm atmosphere throughout the performance.

The animals’ cunning, insatiable greed, love, and devotion were intended to encourage reflection on the nature of good and evil. Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden became the symbols of overcoming evil and sowing the seeds of goodness, heralding the arrival of the New Year. With their cheerfulness, good wishes, songs, laughter, and gifts, they filled the surroundings with a festive and joyful atmosphere.

The Center’s national song and dance groups, as well as individual performers, presented a variety of interesting performances. The combination of the martial arts and dance group performances generated great enthusiasm and interest among the audience.

At the end, Santa Claus, the Snow Maiden, and the children dressed as animals delivered their message and wishes to all humanity, asking God for mercy so that peace might reign throughout the universe and in people’s hearts. They wished that the coming year 2016 would be a year of peace, abundance, prosperity, and goodness.
