It’s only mid-December on the calendar, but the anticipation for the upcoming New Year and Christmas holidays is becoming more and more tangible. Gifts are bought, holiday outfits and menus are planned, houses and apartments are decorated. Many have already taken artificial Christmas trees from the shelves of closets and dressed them in sparkling dresses made of balls, tinsel and garlands - to create the desired atmosphere and mood. However, there are those who are waiting for the right time when they can bring a living, fluffy beauty into the house - a slender and fragrant forest guest who will be the best harbinger of the long-awaited holiday. To find out where to buy and how to choose the right Christmas tree, BELTA correspondents went straight to the snow-covered forest of the Shklovsky district together with workers from the Fashchevsky forestry.
