Сегодня будет Рождество, весь город в ожиданьи тайны, он дремлет в инее хрустальном и ждет: свершится волшебство. М.Ю. Лермонтов. Рождество в России было самым любимым и долгожданным праздником.

Все это отразилось в святочных рассказах русских писателей, отвечающих на ожидание рождественского волшебства и детскую готовность принимать на веру самые сказочные сюжеты.

"Новогодняя классика" — это, пожалуй, самые известные и самые любимые рассказы и повести, написанные зарубежными и русскими писателями в жанре святочного рассказа. "Щелкунчик и мышиный король" Э. Т. А. Гофмана и "Ночь перед Рождеством Н. Гоголя, "Девочка со спичками" Г. Х. Андерсена и "Жемчужное ожерелье" Н. Лескова, "Дары волхвов" О. Генри и "Чук и Гек" А. Гайдара... Сказки и были об ожидании чуда в самую волшебную ночь.
