Poems about December for children
december icy
Like emerald bridges on a river,
Well, in the field are snow-white canvases.
In a noticeable cold December
Seven weather all play tricks in the yard.
Frost has overgrown with a silvery beard,
Pinches cheeks, fingers, ears, forehead and nose.
I won’t whine, I’ll endure everything, I won’t scream -
In the new year, I'll ride on the new sled.
M. Sukhorukova

In December, in December all the trees are in silver.
Our river, as if in a fairy tale, was paved with frost overnight,
Updated skates, sleds, brought a Christmas tree from the forest ...
S. Marshak
Winter sings, calls out ...
Winter sings, calls out, shaggy forest cradles
The call of a pine forest.
All around with deep longing they float to a distant country
Gray clouds.
The blizzard sweeps the white path.
Wants to drown in soft snow.
The wind fell asleep on the way.
Neither drive through the forest, nor pass.
Birch
White birch
under my window
covered with snow,
Exactly silver.
On fluffy branches
snow border
Brushes blossomed
White fringe.
And there is a birch
In sleepy silence
And the snowflakes are burning
In golden fire
A dawn, lazy
Walking around,
Sprinkles branches
New silver.

It is not the wind that rages over the forest,
Streams did not run from the mountains,

Forest paths brought
And are there any cracks, cracks,
Is there any bare ground anywhere?
N. Nekrasov

I've been used to the cold since childhood.

The bread is all put away in the bins.

So that the Snow Maiden comes to me at night
And she would bring me many gifts.

Snow fluffy, silvery
Lightly spreads with a carpet,
And snowflakes, like fluffs,
Curl merrily around.
Winter has come
At night the wind howled like a wolf
And beat on the roofs with a stick.
Looking out the window in the morning
There is a magical movie:
Rolled out the white canvas
Sketched bright stars
And hats at home
Winter hit.

Frosty, not bad.

Winter lives outside the window.

Fur hats,
Where to get the cat skates
Four paws?

me and snow
White, delicious snow is falling,
Goes straight into your mouth
If I really want
I'll swallow the snow all at once!
And then what will happen, brothers!
On a sleigh - do not ride!
And snowdrifts - not to be seen!
And don't play snowballs!
And on skis - do not run!
It will be bad for everyone without snow!
That's why, friends,
I won't eat snow, I guess!
M. Druzhinina
white grandfather
Santa Claus slept in bed.
I got up, ringing icicles:
Where are you, blizzards and snowstorms?
Why don't you wake me up?
Disorder in the yard:
Mud and puddles in December!
And from grandfather in fright
Blizzards rushed to the fields,
And the blizzards flew
They moaned, whistled,
Busy until the morning:
All the scratches of the earth
Covered with white snow.
Grandfather came out early in the morning
Wearing a new coat.
Wanted to check it out myself
Through meadows and forests:
Is everyone waiting in a new outfit
And are you ready to meet him?
- Yes, - the blizzards answered, -
Even the hares turned white!
No blades of grass in the fields
Not a leaf on the branches!
Only one Christmas tree
Yes fluffy pine
They don't want to obey
And the green ones are standing!
N. Artyukhova
good time
We like frosty
fluffy time,
Starry night sky
Glittering silver.
And the tree lights up
And the round dance is dancing,
And here, as it should be,
The New Year is coming!

Black as soot
And returned -
White as chalk!

Warm paws. Not to be afraid of.

Folk signs of the month of December for children for every day
Good day, my dear readers. We continue to observe what is happening outside the window and study folk signs of December.
Let's make a calendar for the children about the weather for the whole month and for each day.
What is December famous for?
In the last month of the year, real winter colds set in. There is a proverb about December that it ends the year and begins the winter. Therefore, the people did not call it the time of white trails for nothing.
Until the time of the restructuring of the calendar to the Gregorian style, December was the tenth in a row, therefore it is believed that its name came from the Roman word "december". “Zimnik”, “jelly” - all these are December “nicknames”, which the month received for its fierce temper and frost.
The people used to say that he had "five weathers: he blows, blows, circles, tears and sweeps."
And December is also associated with the most joyful holiday for kids - the New Year!
Based on the weather in December, forecasts were made for the coming spring and summer.
- It was believed that if in the last month of the year there would be little snow and dryness, then spring and summer would pass without heavy rains.
- But if there are snowdrifts under the fence, it will be a bad summer.
- Our ancestors also used to say that the whiter the winter, the greener after it.
- A warm December will delay winter longer, and a late spring will turn out to be cold.
The villages monitored the December weather to predict the harvest. If it is often clear on the street, then little will grow in the fields. But cloudy weather promises a good harvest, with surpluses.
It happens that winter does not want to come, and slush and thaws are delayed until the January Christmas holidays. In such cases, people did not wait for the arrival of cold weather until February 10th.
If in December you see red breasts on bare branches of trees, then it is bullfinches, the messengers of winter, who brought frosty weather on their wings. The winter frost will pinch our nose and cheeks. But when the rooks suddenly decided to stay for the winter, this is for a warm winter.
What does the coming day have in store for us?
And now, according to the established tradition, the calendar of December signs will take days.
December 1. “Plato and Roman will show us the winter,” our ancestors thought so. On the first day of December, they thought about the weather for the entire upcoming winter season.
In the first half of the day they predicted the beginning of winter - December, at noon time - about its middle - January, and in the evening - about its end, about the weather in February.
The crows walking along the roads were waiting for the thaw, but the circle near the lunar month appeared before severe frosts.
note
By December 2, on the day of Adrian's name day, the first northern birds could appear, which meant impending cold. The crimson sky happened before a snowfall.
When it snows on the 3rd December day of Proclus, rain was marked on the calendar for June 3rd. Some of the weather of these days made a forecast for the whole of June. The singing bullfinch and the magpie hiding under the roof are the harbingers of a blizzard.
On the 4th of the Introduction, frosts often occur, which will be all the coming winter. The people believed that on this day Winter rushes along the roads on a trio of horses in a white fur coat, freezing everything around and drawing patterns on the windows. From that moment, the Vvedenka fairs began, at which sleighs were especially in demand.
Procopius on December 5 "paved winter roads." They did it with the whole village, the children fell out in a crowd into the yards to play snowballs. Raise your eyes to the sky. Are there two rings around the moon? So, frost ahead.
On the 6th Mitrofanov day, they judged the weather for June 6th. If it is snowing lightly and the north wind is blowing, expect such a cold rain in June.
On December 7, the newlyweds, who played weddings in the fall, rode on a painted sleigh on the patroness of brides, Ekaterina the sleigh. A clear day promised a frosty winter.
On the 8th, watch the birds. If they cling to people's houses, then wait for the snows. When they chirp and chirp cheerfully, this is a sign of good weather. Feed the birds in the evening and notice what their appetite is: they are trying to peck to satiety, with a margin - wait for frost. People used to get sheepskin coats on Klima, since “a wedge will knock out a wedge with a wedge on Klima.”
On the 9th St. George's Day, everyone was already sitting at home with caulked windows, and when they went to the well for water, they listened: the water is calm, then the winter will be warm, and when there is noise inside the well, then blizzards and frost are ahead.
We can also notice the future frosty weather on St. George's Day: the cheeks are cold and the nose is red - it will be even colder on the 19th, and if a thaw suddenly comes, then cold days will alternate with warm ones all winter.
On the 10th of the Sign, it is believed that getting up early in the morning facing the north wind, you can give him all your sorrows. Pay attention to the stars this day. They shine brightly before frost. But cheerful sparrows are the messengers of the fact that it will become a little warmer on the street.
Soykin's day falls on December 11th. This is a bird with bright feathers and a tuft on its head, able to imitate other birds. The people rejoiced at the jay and followed the bird, as it was believed that it would lead to happiness. If suddenly a thaw occurs on Soikin's holiday, you should not relax. It will turn into bitter cold.
Paramon's winter indicator on the 12th showed what to expect from the December weather. If "the morning is red, the weather will become clear" - the people believed. The blizzard that day could have lingered for another week, right up to Winter Nikola.
On December 13, Andrei Zimny was paid attention to precipitation. The snow that fell that day was supposed to stay for 110 days. At this time, the forecast for water is made for the second time. They go out to the river, make an ice hole and listen: quiet water - by an even winter, noise from under the ice - there will be icy blizzards.
14th "Nahum guides the mind." In Russia, children were sent to study at parochial schools. See which way the wind is blowing. If from the north, then dress warmer - it will be a hard frost.
By the 15th day of December, a lot of snow often swept over Avvakum, and this promised a lot of greenery in the summer and a rich harvest. If it suddenly rained, then the weather would not settle for another 40 days plus a week, until Anton Perezimnik, January 30th. Ruffled birds also promise bad weather. Crows will call the blizzard with their cawing.
Ivan the Silent on the 16th advised to say less and do more. Only birds are allowed to talk, because the chirping bullfinch will bring a slight warming.
On the 17th day, it is worth determining which way the wind is blowing. With the east comes frost. The star-studded sky will also tell about the upcoming cold. Because of the dim sky, the stars are almost invisible? Then you can safely skate or ski - do not freeze your nose, as it will become a little warmer.
The people believed that after the 18th Savvin's day, you can take a break from the frost and waited for a slight thaw. Look at the smoke from the chimneys. If in a calm it is pressed to the ground by a drag, then soon it will be possible to build ice slides, snow fortresses and snowmen - snowfalls are ahead.
Nikola Winter on December 19 forbids everyone to be sad, otherwise the frost will call. The people noticed: what the weather will be on this day, it will be the same on Nikola Vesny, May 22.
The 20th is the day of St. Ambrose, from which our ancestors began preparing for Christmas. The wind blowing from the east will tell you about the prolonged cold weather.
On December 21, Anfisa the needlewoman celebrates her name day. Watch the clouds. White lambs of small sizes often appear in frost, and large ones bring a blizzard.
On the 22nd of St. Anne's name day, the winter solstice falls, when the longest night and the shortest day of the year. On this day, they still judge the weather on New Year's Eve. Does the sun shine brightly? So it will be cold on New Year's Eve. If the sky is gloomy, then we will celebrate the holiday with a thaw.
On the 23rd, on the day of the martyr Mina, standing clear weather without clouds and bright stars are signs of a hardening frost. Dry snow with wind will tell you about the upcoming dry summer.
On Nikonov's 24th day, see what the winter sun looks like. When reflections are visible at the edges, then you can not wait for heat yet. A snowstorm will be brought with them by rushing crows from place to place.
note
On December 25 on Spiridon they talked about the turning of the sun towards summer, calling it the solstice. They waited for blizzards, saying "the solstice gives blizzards a turn." See where the wind is blowing from, as it was believed that its direction would remain until Soroca, which is March 22nd. Christmas time will be clear if the sun shines on Spiridon.
On the 26th day on Eustratia, they began to note the weather for 12 days, predicting every day for every month, starting from January.
On the 27th Filimonov day was a predictor of the February weather. It could also be used to judge summer. When the day turned out to be cold, one could expect summer heat.
On December 28, on the feast of Tryphon, the patron saint of sailors, severe frosts were expected. When the day turned out to be frosty, and warmer in the evening, this meant a cold awaiting ahead. The weather for March was judged on this day.
On the 29th day of December, Haggai paid attention to frost. One could speak of warm Christmastide by the frost-strewn tree branches. Morning severe frost could linger until the very Epiphany.
On December 30, it was possible to predict the approaching warming on Danila by frost, which will come in a week. The wind from the southwest will also bring warmth. Remember your dreams for this day. They are said to be prophetic. Remember the weather - most likely the same will be in May.
And finally, the long-awaited 31st is the time of fairy tales and the fulfillment of dreams. On St. Modest, they predict the fate of the coming year and judge the weather in June.
On the signs of December, our natural calendar ended. I hope that this information has become useful for you, and you managed to notice something special for yourself. Good luck observing!

Folk omens for December - general and for every day
The first month of winter was significant for our ancestors: they monitored how much snow fell, whether the water in the well was noisy, how much frost fell on the trees. All this was extremely important. In December, according to folk signs, they predicted the weather for the next 12 months, the girls guessed at the betrothed, and the peasants determined what the harvest would be.
What is another name for the month?
The name of the first month of winter comes from the Latin "ten". A similar origin has its name in the ancient church tradition - Decembrian, and in the original calendar of the Romans - December. The fact is that earlier this month occupied the tenth place in the calendar, but Caesar's reform made it the twelfth.
The people of December had several names:
- jelly;
- cold;
- icy;
- student;
- zazimnik;
- chest;
- student;
- winter road.
The last month of the year is also called the time of the white trails, because winter begins with it.

We also monitored what kind of weather prevails in December - sunny or cloudy. If there are more clear days, next year the harvest will not please. The month will be cloudy and snowy - grains will be harvested in excess. Dry - portends the same spring, and thunder in the last month of the year - to a harsh, frosty winter.

Wedding in December: folk signs, church traditions, lunar forecast
Since ancient times, in the first winter month, our ancestors got married and played weddings. By December, the peasants completed all agricultural work and preparations for the long winter, and therefore the wedding time came for the youth. In addition, according to popular beliefs, December unions will be happy, and beliefs in love promise love to the grave, mutual respect and prosperity.
Wedding in December: what will the weather say?
Traditionally, on the wedding day, people watched nature to find out what to expect for the young in the future.
- Heavy snowfall or a blizzard for a wedding is a very good omen. This means that the young will not know the need. The more snow that day, the stronger the family budget will be.
- Are there frosts? Good sign. According to the sign, the newlyweds expect mutual fidelity and passion.
- And the wedding frost predicts that the first child in the family will be a boy. The stronger the cold, the more physical strength and good luck the future child will receive.
- A warm day without precipitation and winds leads to a hectic but interesting life. The sign promises the newlyweds prosperity, love and health, but at the same time predicts a lot of worries.
- Rain is coming? A good sign means that money will always flow.
- And the rains for the wedding in December predict a healthy continuation of the family and family life without scandals.
- Changeable weather throughout the wedding day is a bad omen. This means that the newlyweds will not live in perfect harmony.
By the way, according to an old sign, guests should be seated on fur coats (fur coats made of faux fur are also allowed). Our ancestors were convinced: after such a trick, the young will live in love and harmony, and also a sign promises wealth and prosperity.

Folk signs of December: about the weather and harvest
So another year is coming to an end: on the threshold of December - the first month of the calendar winter and the last month of the outgoing year. Truth, root winter will begin only after the winter solstice - now it is just coming into force, being mastered.
From the first snow and until the ice on the rivers and lakes is established, lasts pre-winter. After freezing, it changes first winter- with a stable snow cover and the first serious frosts: "in December, winter lays white canvases, and frost builds bridges across the rivers."
December wraps everything in a blanket of snow
This is a harsh time, but the soul becomes joyful when, after a gloomy damp November, a snow-white blanket wraps the earth. It used to be said that "December brings snow to the eye, and frost to the ear."
There are more sunny days, but only "the December sun shines, but does not warm."
Although it became lighter from the snow around, the days of December are short; it dawns late in the morning, it gets dark early. But very soon everything will change: “In December, the sun for summer, winter for frost” - after December 22, the day will begin to slowly arrive, and the frosts will grow stronger. They used to say that "December is cold for the whole winter, the earth is cold."
On solid snow, you can already beat the roads
Snow and frost brought the peasant a long-awaited joy: a sledge track was established. With Procopius (December 5), the arrangement of winter roads began: “December will pave, and nail, and give the sleigh a ride.”
In general, this month, despite the long Filippovsky (Christmas) fast, is rich in holidays: in December, “winter for frosts, and the peasant for the holidays.”
The Entry into the Church of the Most Holy Theotokos (December 4), Catherine's Day with traditional Catherine's festivities and sleigh rides (December 7), St. George's Day (Egory winter, December 9); St. Nicholas holidays - Barbara's Day (December 17), Savva (December 18) and Winter Nikola (Nikola the Wonderworker, December 19). That's why they said: "December has one strength - many holidays, but frosts take dominance." The festive time lasts until December 20 - and from that day on, "St. Abrosimus (Ambrose) threw off the holidays."
Snow that fell before the Introduction usually melts
We often complain about the weather, we say that winters today are not the same as before - but it turns out that a warm December was not new to our ancestors: “Once every ten years, December is warm, then it even drives away snow.”
And we all - global warming, climate change ... In general, it is noted that up to four thaws usually occur in December; the snow that fell before the Introduction (December 4) usually melts, and only the snow that fell later stays for a long time. So, basically, nothing has changed.
Well, if so, maybe the old signs will not let us down? In December, according to natural phenomena and the behavior of animals, they tried to determine the weather and the nature of the winter that had begun, and they thought about the future harvest. Let's try it too!
About the harvest
Of course, we are not as dependent on our gardens as the peasants in the old days, but we care about the harvest no less.
Therefore, it is interesting to find out by what signs it was previously predicted - suddenly it will come in handy for us!
- If in December there is a big hoarfrost, snow in mounds, the earth is deeply frozen - wait for a good harvest.
- Smooth snow on the fields - to crop failure.
- Abundant December frost - to a good harvest of oats.
- If the snow in December lies close to the fences, the summer will be bad, but if there is a gap before the fence, then wait for the fruitful summer.
- They predicted the harvest from cherry branches cut on December 25: they were stuck in a pot with moist soil and watered every day - if flowers bloom by Christmas (January 7), the harvest will be plentiful.
- Winter without snow - no bread.
A lot of frost in December - for a fruitful summer
About weather
Although they say that nature does not have bad weather, but only in a snowstorm or severe frost, something does not pull for walks. And I really want to know in advance what surprises to expect from mother nature: either to wrap up in a fur coat more tightly, or to prepare for heat and slush. Many observations of our ancestors even now allow us to accurately predict the weather.
- Quiet water in a well in December - to a calm, even winter, noisy - to frost, storms and snowstorms.
- If the snow falls in large flakes, no big frosts are expected in the coming days.
- The logs in the oven burn with a bang - the day will be frosty.
- Weak draft in the furnace happens on the eve of a snowfall, clear days will be replaced by cloudy ones.
- Snow strongly creaks underfoot - to clear, sunny and frosty weather.
- The moon turned red at night - the wind and snowfall will intensify not the next day.
- Circles around the moon portend frost.
- A foggy circle around the sun on frosty days happens before inclement weather, a blizzard.
- Clouds go low and fast - to the cold.
- Clear sky - to frost, dim - to thaw.
- The coniferous forest is noisy - to the thaw.
- If hares come close to buildings and burrow into snowdrifts, expect long cold weather.
- If the wolves come to human habitation in early December, it will be a harsh winter.
- A crow is walking along the road - to warming.
- If by evening the crows began to fly in flocks, as if in search of a place to sleep, expect a storm at night.
- If the dog rolls on the ground, sleeps a lot and eats little - expect snowfall and blizzards.
- The cat drinks a lot of water - to bad weather.
- Magpies hover around housing, climb under the eaves - there will be a blizzard, sit on the snow - to the thaw.

The calendar is tasty and useful, but it is clearly gaping with gaps and clearings. Where are the colds that from year to year attribute March to winter (we would call them "spoilers")? Why are the nasty frosts that traditionally poison May holidays for summer residents (let's call them "bird cherry", because the same popular rumor connects them with the time of flowering of this insidious plant) not indicated? And, of course, there is a place for "unexpected" frosts, which are so much to spoil the blood of citizens, holidays and the summer season somewhere in June or August with September. In general, there is a job for the descendants of your ancestors!

Sometimes the frost subsides and the thaw sets in. Lilacs respond to the warm weather, turning green with the tops of swollen buds. But winter does not recede, and fluffy snows are falling, frosts are cracking.

Pinches cheeks, fingers, ears, forehead and nose.
I won’t whine, I’ll endure everything, I won’t scream -
In the new year, I'll ride on the new sled.
M. Sukhorukova
December
In December, in December all the trees are in silver.
Our river, as if in a fairy tale, was paved with frost overnight,
Updated skates, sleds, brought a Christmas tree from the forest ...
S. Marshak
Winter sings, calls...
Winter sings, calls out, shaggy forest cradles
The call of a pine forest.
All around with deep longing they float to a distant country
Gray clouds.
The blizzard sweeps the white path.
Wants to drown in soft snow.
The wind fell asleep on the way.
Neither drive through the forest, nor pass.
Birch
White birch
under my window
covered with snow,
Exactly silver.
On fluffy branches
snow border
Brushes blossomed
White fringe.
And there is a birch
In sleepy silence
And the snowflakes are burning
In golden fire
A dawn, lazy
Walking around,
Sprinkles branches
New silver.

Bullfinch
Where are you from? Where are you from
Came to us, red-breasted?
I flew all over Siberia.
What is your name?
Bullfinch.
M. Lapygin
Frost Governor
It is not the wind that rages over the forest,
Streams did not run from the mountains,
Frost-voivode patrol
Bypasses his possessions.
Looks - good blizzards
Forest paths brought
And are there any cracks, cracks,
Is there any bare ground anywhere?
N. Nekrasov
Brave snowman
You are a snowman, a snowman!
I've been used to the cold since childhood.
You put on the pan deftly!
From the coals of your eyes!
Your nose is a red carrot -
Your pride and beauty!
You are a snowman, a snowman!
I've been used to the cold since childhood.
O. Preusler, from the book
"Little Baba Yaga"
Blizzards have arrived
Blizzards came to us
The cracks were covered with snow.
On the window, the old man Frost
He applied the painting with ice.
In a clean field in a white dress
Mother winter is out.
Let her walk boldly -
The bread is all put away in the bins.

New Year's Eve
Christmas trees go one by one
Trees go in pairs.

Winter
Until May, the ponds are chained,
But how warm are the houses!
Wraps gardens in snowdrifts
Careful winter.
Snow falls from birches
In drowsy silence.
Summer frost paintings
Draws on the window.
E. Rusakov
Magic sundress
Now the fog is falling on the ground,
And winter puts on a sundress.
White and light this outfit,
Even fluffy, they say.
He warms the grass, warms the flowers,
And he is amazingly beautiful.
That sundress is called a snowball
Or winter fur.
in winter
Frost looks out the window and breathes
And writes patterns on glass
And against the frozen window,
Breath of Santa Claus
In brocade and pearls removed,
There is a curly birch.
S. Drozhzhin
New Year
What do I want in the New Year?
I want to skate on ice
I want to go to kindergarten every day
I want to be friends with the guys.
So that the cold bypasses the native city,
And so that trouble never happens.
I want our family to live long,
So that the Snow Maiden comes to me at night
And she would bring me many gifts.
New Year! New Year!
White snow, ringing ice!
About winter
Snow fluffy, silvery
Lightly spreads with a carpet,
And snowflakes, like fluffs,
Curl merrily around.
Winter has come
At night the wind howled like a wolf
And beat on the roofs with a stick.
Looking out the window in the morning
There is a magical movie:
Rolled out the white canvas
Sketched bright stars
And hats at home
Winter hit.
V. Fetisov
Winter
Russian winter walks
Stop it and try it!
Waving his hand - the earth is white,
Wave another - snowdrifts grow!
Whitens trees and houses
Freezes, tired without knowing
Russian winter walks
Frosty, not bad.
B. Pashov
winter cat
A cat looks out of the window
Winter lives outside the window.
The cat has a dream
Pokata-kati-kata-
Skate
Along the frozen river
Where they glide on two legs
Human children.
Hey boys by the river
Fur hats,
Where to get the cat skates
Four paws?
C. Serdobolsky
me and snow
White, delicious snow is falling,
Goes straight into your mouth
If I really want
I'll swallow the snow all at once!
And then what will happen, brothers!
On a sled - do not ride!
And snowdrifts - not to be seen!
And don't play in the snow!
And on skis - do not run!
It will be bad for everyone without snow!
That's why, friends,
I won't eat snow, I guess!
M. Druzhinina
white grandfather
Santa Claus slept in bed.
I got up, ringing icicles:
Where are you, blizzards and snowstorms?
Why don't you wake me up?
Disorder in the yard:
Mud and puddles in December!
And from grandfather in fright
Blizzards rushed to the fields,
And the blizzards flew
They moaned, whistled,
Busy until the morning:
All the scratches of the earth
Covered with white snow.
Grandfather came out early in the morning
Wearing a new coat.
Wanted to check it out myself
Through meadows and forests:
Is everyone waiting in a new outfit
And are you ready to meet him?
Yes, the blizzards answered,
Even the hares turned white!
No blades of grass in the fields
Not a leaf on the branches!
Only one Christmas tree
Yes fluffy pine
They don't want to obey
And the green ones are standing!
N. Artyukhova
good time
We like frosty
fluffy time,
Starry night sky
Glittering silver.
And the tree lights up
And the round dance is dancing,
And here, as it should be,
The New Year is coming!
O. Vysotskaya
One winter
One winter
Along our street
Kitten go
Wanted to take a walk
Kitten came out
Black as soot
And returned -
White as chalk!

titmouse
The paws of titmouse are freezing:
It's bad for them without mittens,
Yes, and hungry in the cold ...
I brought them seeds:
Look here
This is delicious food!
They sit on my palm,
Warm paws. Not to be afraid of.

letter in the snow
Embroidered snow
beautiful line,
Like a white shirt.
I call dad to the yard:
Look what a pattern!
Dad looks down
Here is a letter for you, Denis! -
Birds and animals write:
“Make us, Denis, feeders!”

Father Frost
Grandfather looked into the well -
The well was covered with ice.
And looked at the river -
He put on an ice sheepskin coat.
Old Santa Claus
If he's joking, then seriously.

Trees bloom in winter
There are white caps on the roofs.
And the air is fresh, as if near
The boys eat cucumbers.
V. Marinicheva
Our ancestors called the first winter month the time of the white trails, since winter begins from it. December also had other names: zazimnik, icy, chest, zimnik, student. People kept track of how much snow had fallen, whether the water was making noise in the well, how much frost was on the branches of trees and shrubs.
By all these signs it was possible to predict the weather for the whole next year. The peasants determined how rich (or, conversely, poor) the crop would be. Predictions came true, and therefore have survived to this day. Joinfo.ua will tell about folk omens for December in his material.
Our ancestors considered the last month of the year special. It is customary to sum up and make plans for the future. To make this easier, it is recommended to take into account folk signs that have come down to us from time immemorial.
General signs for December
Popular signs of this month are mostly related to the weather. So, if there are bitter frosts during December, then you can expect a good harvest in the coming year. If the clouds float to the South in the morning, then the day promises to be clear, if to the North, then gloomy. A pale moon at night in December is a harbinger of wet snow during the day. Large snowdrifts indicate that there will be few sunny days next summer.
Sunny weather in December does not promise a good harvest. But cloudy days, on the contrary, promise that summer residents and gardeners will have something to rejoice at. If cloudy and snowy days are established frequently, then there will be especially a lot of cereals. The lack of precipitation during the first month of winter is a sign that spring will be the same as the previous one.
Our forefathers observed the behavior of animals and birds. A cat that hides its muzzle hints that the day will turn out to be frosty. If the hares "wear" spotted fur coats, then the frosts throughout the winter will not be severe. The dog, which swings in a snowdrift, "calls" to the owners to cancel the hunt, as a heavy snowstorm is expected.
If a bullfinch sings right at the window, then a thaw will come. Randomly flying birds are a sign of heavy snowfall. Crows walking on the ground promise warming, and if they croak loudly, then big frosts will hit. But screaming jackdaws portend a sunny day.
Notes for every day
This day indicated what winter would be like. If December 1 turns out to be warm, then all three upcoming months will be the same, not without exception, of course. A frosty day, respectively, hints that it is worth waiting for frosts in the future. A strong wind indicates that the winter will be blizzard. The changeable weather on the first day of December also testifies to the capricious winter.
In the old days, the Slavs prepared sbiten on December 2, seasoning it with medicinal herbs. This remedy was taken during colds throughout the winter. In Avdeya, it was customary to take care of the household. It was believed: a successful wintering depends on how many things can be done during this day.
The weather on this day corresponds to the weather of the first days of June. If it snows or rains, then the beginning of summer will turn out to be rainy.
The day was also called the gate of winter. If the snow that fell after December 4 lies until the onset of spring, then a rich harvest can be expected.
There is a folk saying about this day: “Prokop digs a snowdrift, walks through the snow, gives way to the sleigh.” From this we can conclude that after December 5, heavy snow can be expected.
Look at which direction the wind is blowing. If from the North, then June will rain. And if snow falls on Mitrofan, then there is no doubt about it.
Unmarried girls can guess at their betrothed. Katerina patronizes the creation of a family, so prophecies often come true. Clear weather on December 7 portends a frosty continuation of winter.
Do you want to be lucky in any business? Start it on an empty stomach. In the old days, on December 8, women sat down at the spinning wheels, and the representatives of the stronger sex threshed grain.
If you have a well in your yard, listen to see if the water is noisy in it. If it is quiet, then winter will please with the absence of frost. Hear noises? Then don't be fooled! In the old days, people believed that it was on this day that all the bears, as if on command, fit into their dens for hibernation.
To get rid of various troubles and failures, wake up early and face the North. This ritual is aimed at clearing your life of adversity: they are carried away by the wind. People who could not have children for a long time asked Roman to get rid of infertility.
Happiness, prosperity and joy await the family if on this day a jay flies to the window and sings. On December 11, you can tell fortunes for the fulfillment of a wish.

A strong wind portends a crimson morning dawn. If snow falls on Zornik, then this is a blizzard. But you can not wait for frosts until Nikolai himself.
And again you can listen to the water in the well. If it makes noise, then wait for snowstorms and frosts. If there is silence, then the continuation of winter will be calm. On December 13, unmarried girls prayed to Andrew the First-Called for a successful marriage.

From that day, severe frosts begin, thanks to which the rivers are covered with thick ice, on which you can safely walk. If there are a lot of stars in the sky, then the frosts will only get stronger. Clouds in the sky indicate the onset of a thaw.
In order not to cause trouble, people tried not to work. According to popular belief, Savva the Sanctified continues the deeds of Barbara - to attract frosts.
From that day began the winter rites of matchmaking. Young people who had not yet found a mate offered up prayers for marriage. Frosts continue to grow stronger, and it is believed that how much snow falls, the same amount of harvest can be expected next year. If the day is sunny, then severe frosts will come.

In order not to bring trouble, on this day you can not pick up sharp objects. Therefore, sitting down at the table, wield with spoons, and break bread with your hands. You can guess the fulfillment of a wish. To do this, you should go to the tree, think about your dream, break off a branch and put it in the water in your room. If leaves appear on it before Christmas, then the dream will come true.
The day is getting longer and the night is getting shorter. In ancient times, people believed that Spiridon unfolds the Sun. It's about to spring. Catholics celebrate Christmas and offer prayers for well-being.
People began to pay more attention to the weather. The next 12 days should show what the weather will be like throughout the next year. Everything is very simple: every day corresponds to one of the 12 months.

If December 29 is cold, then the continuation of winter will be frosty. Strong blizzards can be expected. If frost appears on the trees, then Christmas will be warm.
If a blizzard sweeps this day, then next year the bees will be active. On December 30, the girls were guessing at the betrothed.

Petals must be placed under the pillow in order to see the future groom in a dream.
The last day of the year has the opportunity to tell fortunes on the weather for the whole year ahead. This will require 12 small boxes corresponding to each month of the year. In order not to be confused, they can be signed. In each of them you need to put a little salt and leave overnight. If in the morning it gets wet in some kind of salt, it means that the month will turn out to be rainy.
