We all love to be good fairies, to give gifts to our relatives.
That's how I imagine myself as a fairy :)

Tonight, when St. Nicholas walks and leaves gifts under the pillow. But my children have long known that Nicholas is their mother. And although my eldest daughter decided this year that she wants to abolish this tradition. It is better to give gifts to each other unexpectedly and often, to really find out who loves what and to make each other happy, and not necessarily today. After all, today in our Lviv there is a real mess and traffic jams everywhere, everyone goes to buy gifts. But for some reason I can't completely abandon this tradition yet. This holiday for me comes from childhood, it smells like tangerines, which were a luxury for us then. And we looked forward to it, and believed in a fairy tale. We wrote letters to St. Nicholas, and in the morning we enthusiastically pulled gifts from under the pillows and believed in a miracle ... Everything seems good, but I really remember the tragedy when my parents finally decided to tell me the truth, and I felt cheated. It was a psychological trauma for me. So I decided to tell my children the truth about this wonderful tradition in early childhood, and some of my friends think I did the wrong thing by stealing a fairy tale from my children! But I think it's better to let them live in a fairy tale that will never end! In a fairy tale of love and care for each other.
So there must be a fairy tale, and I still secretly bought something nice for my girls. It's usually a trifle, but the greatest joy is a sweet surprise. These are all sorts of cute notebooks with the inscriptions: Go dreams ... stationery and sweets from the Roshen factory.
And tomorrow I will give myself and my husband the books I bought the day before, and we will go on an exciting journey of 40 steps - days of improving relationships. Of course I don't know if he will go. Or he will want to stay a teenager in a relationship forever ... but I will not control because I will do it for myself ... I want to find peace and harmony first of all in my soul. Because the best gift for me is to finally realize that I am a beloved child of God and deserve the best in life. You just have to allow yourself to take it ...
