Сурваки
Okay kiddo, do you know what is a сурваки? It's a special decoration that people in some countries hang in their homes for a special time called New Year's Day. So when the New Year is coming, people make these decorations which are usually made out of a stick and different colored wool or yarn.
These decorations are special because they are supposed to bring good luck and happiness to the people who have them. They're kind of like a lucky charm or a mascot. People believe that the сурваки chase away evil spirits and bring good energy into the house.
You can also see them during a special ceremony where kids go around their neighborhood and hit other people's сурваки with their own. It's called "survachka" or "koleduvane". Kids do this while saying special wishes like "health, happiness, and a lot of money!"
So, overall, сурваки are a fun and colorful way to bring good luck and happiness to a house during New Year's Day.
