New Year: a terribly complicated matter. My fairy tales in books A Christmas tale for the little ones

One day, all the inhabitants of the fairy-tale forest had a big quarrel and decided never to communicate with each other again. No one remembered exactly how the conflict began, but everyone was very stubborn and proud. Accumulated grievances did not allow them to take the first step, and the animals were bored alone. But still, this is a fairy tale about New Year, so let's not talk about the bad.
The holidays were approaching forest dwellers remembered last year's cheerful New Year's Eve and thought about how to celebrate this an important event this year. After all, no one was going to make peace. As a result, everyone decided to celebrate the New Year on their own.

Closer to the 31st, the first difficulties began. The squirrel decorated the Christmas tree with pine cones and nuts, but couldn’t think of anything to do with the lighting. “It’s okay, it’s also very beautiful,” she thought and became sad.
Bunny had another problem - he found a beautiful garland and was already imagining the festive New Year’s lights, but he couldn’t reach the tree because he was too short.
The fox prepared a lot of festive dishes, decorated a small but neat pine tree and was about to celebrate when she suddenly remembered that she couldn’t sing at all. The New Year without songs could not fit into her head and this was the main reason for her frustration.
The wolf did not understand aesthetics, much less knew how to cook. The lack of festive mood, food and Christmas tree made him gloomy and angry. And Little Bear, having realistically assessed the situation, decided that sleeping through the New Year was a pretty good idea.
And a similar situation occurred in every house in the fairy forest. The New Year was sad and boring. This would be the end of our fairy tale, if not New Year's Magic.

A fairy tale about the New Year for children: why there is strength in unity

The animals seemed resigned to their situation and did not expect anything good or interesting. But at the very New Year's Eve they wanted to feel the holiday magic. Everyone remembered how beautiful and wonderful it was last year to have fun together near the very bigger Christmas tree In the woods. For some reason, they decided that New Year's magic was connected with this place and hurried there.
Very little time passed, and the whole forest company gathered near the large fluffy spruce. Seeing each other, they wanted to talk, ask about business, but remembered the quarrel. The animals suddenly became very ashamed. How can you be so stubborn and proud? How can you keep so many grudges to yourself? They understood each other without words and hugged tightly. The world no longer seemed so dim, but without New Year's lights, songs and fun it was very sad.

“How stupid we were. After all, we ourselves ruined our holiday. There is very little time left for the New Year; we won’t have time to really prepare,” the animals cried. At that moment it seemed that no one could change the situation.
“Stop being a ninny!” - suddenly there was a loud sound hoarse voice. It was Little Bear, who was awakened by a noise near a large spruce tree. “We came together, and this is the main thing, because strength lies in unity. Let's quickly decorate the Christmas tree as much as we can, bring our own food and sing songs. Even if the holiday will not be so beautiful, we can still make it fun. Is not it?" – he continued.
The animals agreed, smiled and ran home. This time there are toys, candies, nuts and garlands. No one was sad anymore, everyone was in a hurry to be in time for the New Year.

What was their surprise when they returned and saw a beautiful decorated Christmas tree, New Year's lights, a snowman, colorful lights on other trees and a lot of sweets on the table, which appeared as suddenly as everything else. New Year's Magic came to the animals and gave them the real holiday they deserved. After all, they understood the main thing! Remember the moral of this fairy tale about the New Year - do not accumulate your grievances, learn to forgive others and do not be afraid to take the first step. Only together with friends can you find happiness and encounter magic.
