New Year Preparation

Tbilisi is in expectation of the new year. The City Hall ordered the instruction to decorate the main streets of the city. There are some cranes hanging the different colors of lamps on the facades of the houses that are located in the centre of Tbilisi, also beautify the bridges and fir-trees with bells and artifical snowmen, known as 'Tovlis Babu' in Georgia.
The Christmas trees have not brought to market yet, but they will appear in about 3 or 4 weeks later in the streets.
The Georgian New year tree, called 'Chichilaki', is famous with its appearance in our country. Instead of colorful balls and bows, it has flowers and fruit on it's top - grapes, apple, dried fruit.
There is a tradition every year that an enormous New Year tree is constructed on the Freedom Square. It is artifical, and every year has a different appearance.
