New Year in Armenia.
Society
New Year in Armenia is celebrated a whole week starting with December 31, by baking New Year cookies and tables laden with food and different kinds of sweets.
During this week, people exchange gifts and congratulatory wishes, and their homes are open to welcome everyone. Visiting begins on January 1 and lasts through Christmas-January 6.
Armenian children believe that Santa Claus ("Dzmer Papik" in Armenian) brings gifts on New Year’s Eve. Several days or weeks before the holiday, children write letters to Santa telling him what toys they wish.
