Good morning. I’d like to share my childhood memory right here right now. I remember being little about several months and my mom holding me in her hands. It was a log wood house somewhere on the suburbs of the city where I used to live. The city name is Yakutunburg. I remember a lot of relatives around me and a huge absolutely stunning New Year tree in the center of the room where everyone was celebrating and shouting out different words. The tree was decorated with glass bubbles, sparkling strings of light and other types of unusual decorations for me. A lot of relatives had crackers in their hands and I also remember fireworks. The only problem was that it was too loud for me and since then I feel a little scared when I’m surrounded by lots of people. I want to tell the story to my mom. She said it couldn’t be true because I was too little to remember all those things.

Good morning. I'd like to share my childhood memory right here, right now. I remember being little, about several months old, and my mom holding me in her arms. It was a log wood house somewhere in the suburbs of the city where I used to live. The city name is Yakutunburg. I remember a lot of relatives around me and a huge, absolutely stunning New Year tree in the center of the room where everyone was celebrating and shouting out different words. The tree was decorated with glass ornaments, sparkling strings of light, and other types of unusual decorations for me. Many relatives had crackers in their hands, and I also remember fireworks. The only problem was that it was too loud for me, and since then, I feel a little scared when I'm surrounded by lots of people. I wanted to tell the story to my mom. She said it couldn't be true because I was too little to remember all those things.
