Winter is unfolding like a grand Christmas book ❄️🏮, and each page smells of snow, pine trees 🌲, gingerbread 🍪, and the warmth of a home fire 🕯️. The world quietly pauses so we can hear ourselves and those we love. That’s how I, Anya, want to celebrate Christmas and the New Year 2026 — alive, filled with joy, hope, and gratitude. To live — and for everyone to live — because true happiness is not in money, but in humanity, warmth, and peace ❤️.

Christmas is celebrated every year on December 25th according to the Gregorian calendar and January 7th according to the Julian calendar. This holiday dates back to the 1st century AD, when the Christian community honored the birth of Jesus Christ. The symbols of the holiday — Christmas trees 🌲, candles 🕯️, gifts 🎁 — appeared later but have long become the heart of our winter wonders. The New Year is celebrated on the night of December 31st to January 1st: its roots go back to Ancient Rome and the god Janus — a symbol of beginnings and renewal. And 2026 — the Year of the Horse 🐎 — may it bring strength to move forward, victories, and confidence, and may every move be light and assured, and every step filled with joy and new opportunities ✨⭐.

On Christmas night, when gifts are already waiting under the trees 🎁, and the world is filled with glow and calm, he comes — Santa Claus 🎅. His story began in the 3rd century, in the city of Patara, on the coast of Lycia, by the warm sea. He was born to do good quietly and sincerely. Centuries transformed him into a symbol of Christmas, and now he races through the northern snows, bringing light and joy on his sleigh ✨⭐.

Next to him is always Mrs. Claus ❤️🧣. She fills the space with the aroma of gingerbread 🍪, arranges gifts 🎁, makes sure nothing is lost, and that the miracle happens exactly on time. Her care makes the holiday lively and genuine, because the magic of Christmas is born from love and attention to details 🌲.

— Anya, what do you want for this holiday? — Santa asks, looking at me with a gentle smile.
— I want peace, — I reply. — That everyone is alive. That there is more humanity than fear in the world. That health is strong, warmth is genuine, and happiness is not measured in money. That Christmas trees shine with joy, and gifts are symbols of love, not empty formalities.
And I add with a smile:
That the feeling of the holiday is as real as in childhood — when you open gifts from Santa and friends, laugh, hug loved ones, and feel the magic in the air. And that my crypto friends from Gate are nearby, so our community feels warmth, support, and the festive spirit together with me.

Santa smiles — and I know: my wish will come true 🎁❤️.

Because Christmas is not just a fairy tale for children, but a reminder for adults: life can be different. Smarter. Deeper. As Skovoroda said: “Not everything that is expensive is necessary.” And also: “A great person is not by what they have, but by what they can give” — these words never grow old. What is needed — peace, people around, and a heart capable of feeling and loving ❄️✨.

May the Christmas 🌲 shine brighter than ever, and gifts 🎁 warm not only hands but also the soul. May the home be filled with the aroma of gingerbread 🍪, the laughter of loved ones, childhood memories, and the magical feeling that the miracle is always near. May the same sincerity and joy live in the heart as when we used to run to the Christmas tree, open packages, and laugh with happiness — and may adulthood not take away this light ❤️✨.

Happy upcoming holidays to the Gate team and all crypto friends and users! 🎄🎁
May this New Year be a year of victorious hearts, true miracles, fairy-tale moments, and boundless human warmth. May everyone feel the Christmas spirit when eyes sparkle, smiles shine, and the heart feels the wonder, just like in childhood 🐎⭐.

From the bottom of my heart and my soul — from your Anya ❤️.
