The world's favorite holiday of the New Year in Georgia gained its national features and great traditions. In Georgia, every family decorate chichilaki - a homemade Christmas tree, made out of wood, with chips that replace the krone. Chichilaki are decorated with dried fruit and traditionally burned after the New Year, so that together with smoke were gone all adversities. At midnight in the sky are flashing multicolored fireworks. Some people would say that this custom is quite modern, but it has an old Georgian origin. It was believed that with every shot the shooter hits the fiend, and in the New year goods will conquer evil. And there are a plenty of such interesting Christmas traditions. Here's another very interesting custom. It is called "Mevkle" and is still popular in the Georgian villages. "Mevkle" - a person who first crosses the threshold of the houses in the new year. He can bring happiness as well as unhappiness. About people with "happy feet" villagers already know and invite them to the house in advance, and they give the hosts a basket of wine, sweets, cooked pork, wishing them good luck in the new year.
