Every year on December 31st people start acting strange. From morning until almost evening they cook, while eating almost nothing, and towards midnight they sit down at the table and start eating. Lots of.
Salad basins are eaten, several hot options are eaten, a sea of champagne and stronger drinks is drunk, some, especially persistent, get to desserts almost in the morning, the rest start the cake only on the evening of January 1st.
For many years in Russia and the post-Soviet space, the New Year is celebrated, first of all, with a rich feast, and only then with fun festivities. And if frost and bad weather can interfere with the festivities, then there are no barriers to the New Year's feast. Even during the years of financial crises and during times of total shortages, tables were bursting with food.
In a few days, the body easily gains 3-5 kg. Those who lead a fairly active lifestyle are not afraid of these kilograms; they leave a week after the holidays. But most office workers become heavier for a long time, sometimes forever.
