The tradition of decoration a fir at Christmas came to Russia from Germany. Peter The Great introduced<\/a> this custom to the houses of the noble families and a century later sweets and fruits appeared on coniferous trees in every house. The Soviet government transformed the Christmas tree into a New Year’s one because of the ideological causes. As a result, nowadays it is impossible to imagine New year without a decorated spruce in the room. However, what if the New year is coming and you still do not have the tree?<\/p>\n

Buy a tree in the nursery<\/h3>\n

In Dmitrov or Ulyanovsk nurseries you can choose<\/a> a tree of 50 cm high for 200 rubles. Unlike the forest cutting, such one does not harm the ecosystems because workers of the nursery regularly sow<\/a> new trees. In The Moscow region a meter-long spruce costs<\/a> about three or four times cheaper than in Moscow. Cutting down a tree in the forest is illegal and lead<\/a> to a fine of 3000 rubles or criminal liability. The forests of the Moscow region are patrolled since December 10.<\/p>\n
