Scenario for a man's anniversary written based on the beloved film “White Sun of the Desert”, it is filled with oriental flavor and music. The celebration of the hero of the day takes place on an oriental scale: with the arrival of an astrologer and fortune telling, with a harem and oriental dancers .
Organizing a holiday according to the scenario “The East is a delicate matter!” will require some preparation and costs to formalize this theme holiday, but it will definitely bring pleasure to the hero of the occasion and will be remembered by all the guests. (Thanks to the author of the idea A Vertinskaya)
Introductory part of the anniversary script "The East is a delicate matter"
(The decoration of the hall or room should be in oriental style, for example, a large number of different draperies, pillows stylized as oriental lanterns, scented sticks, three-tiered vases with fruits and halva, hookahs, etc.)
You should also prepare a poster with the title “The Sultan’s Harem...”. , on which a photo of the birthday boy’s wife will be placed in different periods time.
Ukupeik's song "Petrukha" sounds - the presenter comes out
Leading: Good evening, dear guests! We are glad to see you at today's celebration, which I would like to begin with these words:
Abode of antiquity and mystery,
A sip of great wisdom!
Your riddles are endless!
Khan Vostok is calling us!
Yes, yes, you heard right! Today, thanks to our hero of the day, we will be able to visit the marvelous chambers of the eastern khan, breathe in the aroma of oriental bazaars, where spices and exotic fruits reign, sultry beauties will dance for us, and Baghdad astrologers and sages will predict happiness for us for many years of life. This is our planned route today.
And we will begin our journey with something old, like the East itself, and wise, like a snake:
“Once upon a time a son was born to a wise Shah, and the most powerful wizard in those parts brought three offerings to the newborn as a gift. The first of them is health, since a healthy person can do anything, but all the treasures of the world will not help a sick person. The second offering is intuition, which becomes a faithful companion and adviser to any person. And thirdly, a short memory for grievances, because hidden resentment and anger can poison the life of any sane person. So we wish our hero of the day health, excellent intuition and forgetfulness of grievances!"
(Short pause.)
Congratulatory part of the anniversary script:
1. Original gifts at the "Gifts of the East" anniversary
Leading: And now it's time for gifts! What did the wisest East reserve for the birthday boy this time? (here the presenter’s assistant brings out the first gift on a tray, covered with a silk scarf with tassels).
The first gift is a three-legged toad holding a gold coin in its mouth. Don’t be confused by an animal that is so unpopular in our latitudes, because in the east the toad is a symbol of prosperity and well-being. The person who receives such a gift this year will become a wealthy person, whose most cherished dreams will begin to come true from the moment the gift is presented. But there is a condition - the money toad likes to sit with its back to the door, as if it had just jumped into your house. She's such an entertainer! (the second gift is beautifully brought out on a tray)
And here is the second gift! This is a money tree, which can certainly become a guarantor of prosperity in the home of the birthday person. Here's what they say about him in the East: one woman grew a money tree. She raised it and watered it for a long time, all her life! And now, finally, I saw the fruits of my labors. The woman was very happy and began to shake the wonderful branches. The coins fell to the ground, but the poor woman waited so long for its fruits that she could not stop in time. So the coins buried the woman under their weight. Moral: don’t get carried away, and a sense of proportion will definitely bear fruit ! (they bring out the third gift)
Accept, hero of the day, your third gift! This is a vase full of oranges and tangerines. You think we decided to add more vitamins to your diet. And this too! But in the ancient East, these sunny fruits personify long life - bright, like the morning sky and warm, like the rising sun!
Leading: Once, while traveling through the Caravanserai, I heard words that struck me, which fit the moment perfectly: only that tree has magnificent foliage and wonderful fruits, which has strong and branched roots. Of course, these poetic phrases refer to the parents of the birthday boy, since it is our parents who become the root system that can provide us with a reliable grip on the ground and become a reliable support in any situation! The floor is given to the parents of the hero of the day!
Congratulations to the parents of the hero of the day (guests, of course, have a drink and a snack).
The song sounds Oriental tales" Group "Brilliant"
Leading: As you all know very well, the East is a delicate matter. Who are the most subtle and mysterious personalities in the East? Of course, magicians and soothsayers! Would you like to meet one of them?
(Under an oriental motif, the presenter’s assistant enters the hall, dressed as a speaker. He has a turban on his head, in his hands is a booklet bound in leather or velvet, and a bag of coffee beans is attached to his belt).
Meet Hassan-Abdurakhman ibn Arab!
2. Costume act for the hero of the day “Congratulations to the Astrologer”
Leading: In parting, I’ll tell you a secret - during this evening, all of you, dear guests, became incredibly rejuvenated, because in the East they say: time spent with friends does not count towards age. I propose a toast to you, dear guests, because today, without knowing it, you have extended the life of yourself and our hero of the day!
(Dance program.)
(2 presenters, girls in oriental costumes)
You've never had a New Year like this!

And so that our dear guests, who brought light to our home, do not get bored, our famous dancers want to show us their skills. (Enter the dancers or participants who have prepared their performance in advance.)
In the East, wisdom is highly valued. Now try to remember films in which the action takes place around Christmas or on New Year.
And in the East, every animal is a symbol. And each of them has its own motto. You have to guess which one is which. Everything is given 5 minutes. For example, the parrot's motto is “repetition is the mother of learning.” (Leaflets with the names of animals are handed out.)
1. Parrot - “Repetition is the mother of learning!”
2. Kangaroo - ____________________________
3. Crocodile - ___________________________
4. Locust - ____________________________
5. Caterpillar - ___________________________

And now we would like to see 4 girls and 4 young men on stage.
New Year is a special holiday. Why? Yes because! On this day, a fairy tale walks across our planet in the most legitimate way. Especially in the mysterious land of the East!
The Sultan had 4 beautiful daughters. And then, one fine day, 4 suitors wooed them. But the father loved his daughters so much that he considered these young people unworthy. And then he decided to give them tests. And the old and wise Sultan set them the following condition: whichever couple proves their ingenuity and love will seal their bonds with marriage on the Great New Year holiday!
According to our Eastern traditions, in order to seduce a man or a girl, you need to be distinguished not only by beauty, but also by intelligence. Now we invite our young people to compose a poem praising your girlfriend, with the suggested rhymes:
East is a flower
Snow is a man
Love is a carrot
Honey - ice.
According to legend, any Eastern woman should be able to dance. Therefore, you girls must show your best.
In addition, Eastern men must be excellent sculptors of their love. In the East, a girl is given in marriage, and she does not know who will become her husband. That's why we blindfold the girls, and the young men have to “sculpt” them into figures. Whoever has the most harmonious figure wins. And you, the audience, must remember and then evaluate their creations.
In the East, wives love and honor their husbands very much. Now girls should take turns complimenting their Oriental men. Whoever the chain stops at is the girl who wins.
Even on a holiday like New Year, there is always room for love and love always wins.
- So, we, pearls of the East, according to Eastern wisdom, wish you all health in the coming year, for this is the highest value, peace, for this is happiness...
-... And most importantly, great love!!!
For each competition a prize is awarded; the obligatory condition is the presence of oriental sweets, incense sticks, a hookah - at the request of the guests. And also all guests must wear oriental costumes!
P.S. I held this party myself last year, and since each competition is interesting in its own way, sometimes the results were simply unimaginable! We received a sea of emotions, which is what I wish for everyone!
July 28, 2017
The East, amazing and charming, attracts with its mystery. So why not have a holiday in this magical style and find yourself in the fairy tale of 1000 and 1 nights?
To convey the bright color of the countries of the East and the customs of local residents, you will have to make a lot of effort. Special attention is required to decor, invitations, themed costumes, menus and entertainment - everything is the same as for any other theme party. But if you intend to arrange bright holiday, which will give a lot of positive impressions and pleasant memories for a long time, then nothing is impossible! Along with tips from zavodila.com Preparing for the holiday will be easy, quick and enjoyable.
1. Invitations
You can notify guests about an upcoming event different ways. But all of them, one way or another, should be related to the theme of the party. This will have a positive effect on the guests and will certainly intrigue them. You can order invitations from a printing house. On the Internet it is not difficult to choose a suitable layout in an oriental style. Delightful Arabic ornaments and inscriptions in script will do the trick. But it’s much more interesting to make invitations with your own hands. Below are several options describing the creation process.
Option 1. Paper invitation cards.
Take thick paper. If you have beautiful handwriting, then write the text by hand. Handwriting like a doctor's? Then print it on a printer in a font that is as similar as possible to Arabic script. Decorate the invitation with an ornate design, then fold it into an envelope. In handicraft stores you can find wonderful bright envelopes with “knocking” that will highlight the theme of the holiday. 
The content of the invitation is optional, but be sure to indicate the time and location. And if the party involves a dress code, then this is worth mentioning. The text might sound like this:
« The most exotic and magical party of the year!
Oriental sweets, barbecue, belly dancing, fakirs and... rent a genie! Don't miss your chance to fulfill your most cherished desires and fantasies.
And, of course, hookah. After all, you need to blow well, otherwise no magic will work.
Western clothing and ripped jeans are prohibited. Entrance only for residents of the East.
I look forward to seeing you, my radiant one, some August at 19.00 at the Taj Mahal No. 112 on the street. Eastern.
Your Aladdin"
Option 2. Oriental bag of incense.
Take a small bag with a drawstring (they are sold in all stores and gift departments and are very inexpensive), fill it with everything related to the theme of the party: small coins, gem-like stones, and a stick of incense. Also place an invitation written on a small card inside. Such a bag will not only original version invitations. It is a symbol of success and wealth that it brings into the home, and will also delight your guests with a delightful aroma for a long time. 
Option 3. Bracelets.
An equally original invitation to the celebration will be bracelets, which are an integral attribute of Eastern culture. This could be a red thread with a bead, which will be your ticket to the party. The bracelet should be given along with a postcard containing information about the date, address and clothing requirements.
2. Dress code
Women's outfits for a party in the East style
First of all, you need to take care of your image. As the host or hostess of the holiday, your image should be no worse than that of an Arab sheikh or an oriental princess.
It is important to choose a style that emphasizes all your strengths. Girls can safely demonstrate the smooth curves of their bodies, covered with bright bodices with embroidered patterns, rhinestones and beads. Bloomers made of translucent fabric and a belt on the hips, decorated with playfully jingling coins, look great. A delightful scarf that covers the head and face will help make the image more enigmatic and mysterious, leaving only expressive eyes with colorful and bright makeup open. Instead of bloomers, you can wear a floor-length skirt. And modest women can use a sari that will hide their figure from strangers. 
You can make costumes for an oriental party yourself. For example, for a bodice, take a top and decorate it with lots of sequins, sequins and embroidery.
A belt can be easily made from a small piece of fabric, for example tulle, trimmed with coins. Handicraft stores sell special coins with holes that are very convenient to sew on, and they are very inexpensive. 
We make the face veil from the same fabric or the same color as the rest of the elements of the image. Silk will look good. Needlewomen will be able to sew their own trousers. You can find various patterns on the Internet. To make a skirt, just sew two pieces of fabric with an elastic band (around the waist) and leave slits all the way to the hips.
When creating an image, it is mandatory to use a variety of jewelry and jewelry. Earrings, beads, bracelets on arms and legs, necklaces and other jewelry will only make the image brighter and will not spoil it at all.
An important element is makeup in oriental style. Eastern beauties always draw long arrows on themselves, which visually enlarge their eyes, and make their gaze expressive and mysterious. The main makeup colors are gold, bronze, copper, turquoise, emerald, ruby and deep black. The most important thing in makeup are the eyes. Try to make the look as “cat-like” as possible. At the end, everything must be shaded with a small brush. Particular attention should be paid to the eyebrows. They should be pronounced, and the bend should be more characteristic than usual. But you shouldn’t make your lips bright. It is best to use nude shades or delicate pink. 
Men's costumes for oriental parties
There are also many image ideas for the stronger half of those invited. A man can reincarnate as Aladdin, a Bedouin wanderer or a genie. A mandatory attribute is a turban, fastened with a magnificent brooch with a large stone.
Of course, you will have to spend a little time until you get the hang of putting fabric or a bath towel into a turban, but the result will exceed all expectations. The stern look and image of the Sultan will conquer any girl. You can throw a robe with elements of oriental patterns over your shoulders, and replace the bloomers with regular everyday pants. 
Both ladies and men should not worry about choosing shoes. Bare feet, sandals or light fabric slippers are allowed.
The organizer of the holiday needs to take care of a backup plan and prepare something like a turban for men and a scarf for girls, which will become a salvation for those guests who are too lazy to take care of the thematic image.
3. Room decoration
The tone of the event is set by the decoration of the room. You should not try to replicate the luxurious decoration of the Sultan's palaces. But making the interior as similar as possible to the chambers of an Arab ruler is quite possible. When decorating a room in an oriental style, the main rule is the abundance of fabric and decorative items. 
In Asian countries, it is customary to seat guests directly on the floor with soft pillows. They are usually decorated with patterns of smooth lines or patterns.
Those gathered at the table on small legs are treated to food. If the guests are more conservative, invite them to sit on the sofa or chairs, which should first be draped with fabric. 
There must be a carpet on the floor. Preferably embroidered with many patterns or with floral designs. If there are several carpets, this will only add a certain oriental flavor. To enhance the resemblance to the Sultan's palace, build something like a fabric canopy over the main table. To do this, take a very light fabric (2 or 4 pieces) and secure it to the chandelier. And, directing the ends to different corners of the room, secure them to the cornices and furniture. The same fabric can be used to drape the walls. Scatter a lot of pillows - large and small, throughout the room, on sofas, chairs, the floor in a “creative mess”.
A hookah will be a wonderful addition to the decor. It will highlight the theme of the evening and will also be good entertainment. Tall floor vases, figurines of dancers and animals are suitable as decorative elements. Paintings depicting military battles, magical palaces and colorful oriental bazaars will also fit perfectly into the overall look.
An important role is played by light, which should not be bright. Subdued lighting is created using floor lamps and wall lamps. Place candles throughout the room. But it will be safer to use small lamps styled like real candles.
Light some incense, but don't focus on it. The subtle scent of vanilla or iris will relax guests and transport them to the far East.
4. Menu and drinks
In eastern countries, it is customary to treat guests to a variety of traditional dishes. Be sure to have meat dishes: pilaf, manti, beshbarmak, shurpa or shish kebab.
In our usual understanding, there are no salads in oriental cuisine. They are replaced with fresh vegetables. Sliced tomatoes, peppers and herbs make great additions to main treats.
Oriental sweets play a special role. The well-known baklava, Turkish delight and sherbet will delight guests not only with their taste, but also with their attractive appearance.
Making oriental sweets is not at all difficult. It is enough to spend a little time and approach the work with enthusiasm. And following the recipes exactly will allow you to get delicious snacks, not much different from those sold in Turkish bazaars.
Lemon Turkish Delight Recipe
Ingredients:
sugar – 900 g
water - 0.5 l.
starch - 170 g
zest of 1 lemon
powdered sugar – 150-200 g.
Preparation:
Mix starch with 250 ml of cold water. Place another 250 ml of water on the fire and bring to a boil, then add sugar and cook the syrup until it is completely dissolved. Next, you need to pour in the starch solution and reduce the heat. When the mixture begins to thicken, add lemon zest and cook until the Turkish delight begins to become very thick and “pull away” from the walls of the dish. After this, put the mixture into a mold (or small molds) and level it with a wet silicone spatula or spoon. Let cool at room temperature for 5-7 hours and cut into small squares, which are rolled in powdered sugar. Turkish delight should never be placed in the refrigerator, otherwise moisture may cause it to become soggy and turn into jelly.
Recipe "Chak-chak" 
Another traditional sweet for Arab countries, very easy to prepare and very tasty.
Ingredients:
flour – 0.5 kg
butter – 160 g
sugar – 160 g
chicken eggs – 5 pcs.
honey – 250 g
vegetable oil(for frying) – 350-450 g
Preparation:
Beat 5 eggs with 30 grams of sugar. Melt the butter in the microwave and cool slightly. Add warm butter to the egg mixture, then stir. Pour the pre-sifted flour into the egg-butter mixture and knead the dough. It should be dense and soft at the same time. Cover the dough cling film or cotton cloth and leave to “rest” for 20 minutes.
Then heat the vegetable oil in a cauldron, frying pan or any saucepan with a thick bottom. Place dough pieces into it in small portions and fry for 2-3 minutes until the dough turns golden, then remove to a paper towel to get rid of any remaining fat. When all the dough is ready, you need to prepare the honey filling. To do this, 120 g of sugar needs to be melted along with 500 grams of honey. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook over low heat for 3-4 minutes. The sugar should “disperse” and the caramel itself should thicken a little. Place the chak-chak sticks in a mold or deep bowl and pour over the honey, stirring thoroughly and gently. Next, form a slide and leave to harden. Chuck-chuck is ready.
Drinks for an oriental party
The presence of strong alcohol is excluded. Traditionally, in Eastern countries, guests are treated to strong tea with sweets or coffee. But if you don’t want to give up alcohol altogether, you can serve wine or low-alcohol cocktails in jugs, giving them original names like “Arabian Mojito” or “Aladdin on the Beach.”
It is best to prepare cocktails based on red or white wine with the addition of fruit juices.
Cocktail “Sheikh”
Ingredients:
80 ml red wine
30 ml raspberry syrup
20 ml lemon juice
5 ml orange liqueur
3 ice cubes
Preparation:
Mix all the ingredients of the drink thoroughly in a shaker and pour into a glass. Garnish with a strawberry or a slice of lemon (orange).
Cocktail “Oriental chocolate”
Ingredients:
milk chocolate – 30 g
red wine – 40 ml
cream – 80 ml
coffee liqueur – 200 ml
ice
Preparation:
Melt the chocolate in the microwave (in several stages, 5 seconds at full power, stirring each time), then mix with cream, wine and liqueur. Pour crushed ice into a glass, pour over the chocolate mixture and serve immediately.

As an invitation to an Eastern party, you can send out bracelets with an attached card with the text in the style of 1000 and one night, or candles, toy swords for men, imitating real ones, which guests will have to bring with them as a pass to the party.

To create the atmosphere of an oriental party at home or indoors, you need to stock up on time and patience; it’s not without reason that they say that the East is a delicate matter.
Everything is important here: decoration, play of light, smell, objects that complement the interior. The East is associated with luxury carpets, bright fabrics, red and gold in shades of color. Carpets with oriental patterns can decorate both the floor and walls, furniture can be hung with curtains or bedspreads of bright colors, vases, bowls filled with water with rose petals, and scented candles can be placed.

Spicy sauces (adjika, tkemali) with an abundance of spices complement the flavor diversity.
Fruits, cheese and oriental sweets (sorbet, baklava, chak-chak, marmalade, Turkish delight) should be on the table in abundance. Herbal teas and coffee are served as drinks. There is no place for alcohol on the Muslim table, but if you wish, you can serve wine in a jug and drink it from bowls. This will allow you not to disturb the holiday palette.
Outfits and costumes
The outfits and costumes of guests and hosts should also correspond to the spirit of the oriental evening. Men can wear loose cotton trousers, a tunic, or a dressing gown. On the head is a skullcap, arafatka, or turban, which can be easily constructed from a rolled towel or piece of fabric and secured with a bright brooch. You can prepare several of them, if suddenly one of the guests cannot prepare an outfit for themselves.
There are even more options for the fair half. Simplest - swimsuit, a belt for belly dancing, or transparent bloomers, or a skirt. But if the holiday scenario allows, a woman can come under cover of secrecy, wearing long dress, hiding the neck, hands, and ankles from prying eyes by wearing a burqa or veil that covers the face and hair. And at the height of the holiday, take off your clothes, remaining in a bright top, embroidered with monists, rhinestones and translucent trousers, and dance a passionate oriental dance.
Emphasize oriental beauty bright, expressive eyes and well-groomed glowing skin. Concealer, shimmering powder is the basis of makeup. For eye makeup, silver, golden, or brightly colored shadows, voluminous arrows, and false eyelashes are used. But the lips should resemble rose petals, tender and exciting. It is better to style your hair in flowing curls, decorating it with tiaras, beads, and bright monists. It’s almost impossible to overdo it, because candlelight will dull the brightness of the colors.
Large, hanging earrings, bracelets, beads, large rings will complement the ensemble. Women can wear bright flat-soled pumps on their feet, men can wear boots or shoes with curved toes, or you can wear nothing, the carpets spread everywhere will not allow your bare feet to freeze.
Entertainment and competitions
Guests are greeted by the host in a stylized suit with a bow and Best wishes in the style of oriental sages, from the very threshold you will feel the flavor of the holiday and plunge into the enchanting oriental atmosphere
. The hostess goes around the guests with a silver tray, offering to choose envelopes with wishes, which define the guests' tasks for the evening. Someone will Sultan, someone stands with a fan, pretending to be a servant of the Sultan.
The women will be divided into harem wives who will sit next to the Sultan and concubines, serving food on a tray and entertaining the ruler (of course, if the guests do not mind).
Mistress, in the role Scheherazade, will tell tales that allow you to smoothly transition from one stage of the party to another. During the storytelling process, you can act out scenes depicting the characters in the story. Conveying stylized Aladdin's lamp, guests can make a wish, for example, for the neighbor on the right to say an ornate toast, sing an oriental song at karaoke, or invite someone to dance.
Wise Stargazer will he predict fate by the stars or spread the dice as a joke, or maybe his predictions will come true in earnest? Men can spend time having a leisurely conversation, playing backgammon, smoking a hookah. But, it is best to provide a separate room for this, so that passionate dancing did not interfere with the conversation, the smoke from the hookah did not irritate non-smokers and there was an opportunity to ventilate the room.
In order to encourage the most active guests, you need to think about prizes and prize categories in advance. For example, you can award for the best suit, best hairstyle, choose beloved wife
Sultan, the best or best belly dancer, singer or singer, winner in the game of backgammon, be awarded for the best toast.

Characters:
Snowman
Snow Maiden
Hottabych
Father Frost
(Music sounds on Snowman enters the scene, drags a sled on which "snowballs" (cotton) And "big ball of snow"(gifts for children are wrapped in white cloth).
Snowman:
I'm a funny snowman
I'm used to snow and cold.
And they blinded me cleverly:
Instead of a nose there is a carrot,
Coals instead of eyes,
Instead of a hat, an old basin.
I'm not an easy snowman,
I am crazy and mischievous!
(Throws at children to cheerful music "snowballs".When "snowballs" ends, tries to lift a big lump, but cannot)
Anyway!
Happy New Year!
Both the owners and guests,
Happiness to everyone, I wish you well
And nice, clear days.
And there is also congratulations -
IN kindergarten his (At school and kindergarten)
Healthier and more rosy
Become every day
(Song "NEW YEAR") (“Someone is waiting for happiness, someone believes in a fairy tale...”)
(addresses the Christmas tree)
Hello, Christmas tree, how glad we are
Why did you come to us again
And in green needles
Brought the freshness of the forest!
We have a surprise for you!
(Round dance "Little Christmas tree")
1 child We're good today
You can't find a better place!
Near the Christmas tree New Year's
Don't pass, don't pass!
2 children It's going to be fun today
there will be no time to be bored.
Hello, holiday New Year!
We have come to meet you!
(The snowman finds a letter on the Christmas tree and reads it)
"Dear children!
Girls and boys!
You hurry together into the hall.
Near the Christmas tree New Year's
There will be a carnival!
(Music sounds, Snow Maiden appears)
Hello my friends!
This is me all of you today
I collected it near the Christmas tree,
Waving a shaggy branch
Happy New Year to us.
Listen, Christmas tree, to our song.
Hello hello,
New Year!
(Song "Herringbone"
Music by N. Bakhutova. Words by Z. Alexandrova.)
1. Our kids
The Christmas tree is big,
Lights on the Christmas tree
They sparkle merrily.
Chorus:
Hey, Christmas tree, look, look!
Children, Christmas tree, light it up, light it up!
2. Don’t prick us, Christmas tree,
A shaggy twig,
3. We sing and dance
Fun today.
Our kids
Holiday New Year!
(Children sit down).
CH: -Thank you, kids, what a wonderful song you sang! It’s just a pity that there are no lights on the Christmas tree. Unfortunately, there is nothing I can do. Only the DM can light the Christmas tree. I don’t know where my grandfather is today. He’s completely exhausted, it’s New Year’s Eve, and he needs to have time to visit everyone New Year's holidays . Oh! What to do?
(Suddenly a bell rings)
CH: (takes a bell out of his pocket):
Oh! Mischievous bell,
He is always, everywhere with me.
Ding-dong, ding-dong!
He invites you to a fairy tale.
(Lights go out, twilight).
Stre-ke-ke!
I brought good news!
Now, or maybe exactly at six,
A big one will come to you guest.
Gray-haired guest, with beard.
Guess who it is?
All. Father Frost!
Magpie. I'll look behind the doors
Maybe he's coming, friends!
(He approaches the doors. A large jug appears from behind the doors, smoke flows from there, in an instant the light goes out and an old man appears).
Stre-ke-ke!
The guest goes gray, gray-haired,
With a long white beard.
Made me cry!
He's not Santa Claus at all!
Hush, hush, silence!
(Flies away).
The light comes on, old man Khattabych stands by the tree oriental attire, and on top of the coat.
May there be peace to this house!
Hello, the most educated of the educated and the loveliest of the loveliest! Children and dear guests!
SN. Hello, grandfather! But you can’t go here in a coat!
Khattab. ABOUT! How, tibidah!
Do you know who you're not letting in? Yes, I will turn you into desert sand!
I will command the wind, and it will scatter you all over the world!
SN. Oh guys! Did you find out who it is?
(Khattabych takes off his coat). Why, this is old Khattabych! A magician, the fulfiller of any desire! Hassan Abdurahman Hadtab!
Khattab. Right! O wisest of wisest teachers! You recognized my name. Where did I end up? Whose house is this so beautiful, where there are so many children?
Children. Kindergarten!
Khattab. How beautiful and bright it is here. What a beautiful palm tree!
SN. This is not a palm tree.
Khattab. Why not a palm tree?
SN. But now the children will say!
Green and prickly.
Of course this is...
Children. Christmas tree!
Khattab. The Christmas tree, how beautiful, wah, wah, wah! Beautiful Christmas tree!
What a strange tree! (Touches).
And what strange fruits it bears! But here’s an apple, I’ll pick it now!
SN. You can’t, HasanKhattabych. This is not a real apple. It is made of glass.
Khattab. What miracles! What country did I end up in? Do they eat glass apples here?
SN. We don't eat them, we decorated our Christmas tree with them.
(Khattab shows surprise)
SN. Khattabych, we know you as a good wizard. Tell me, can you help us?
Khattab. With great pleasure, dear!
I'm old for years, I won't lie.
But I am not weak-willed.
I'll help you in no time,
If I weren’t HasanKhadtab!
Order, incomparable one!
SN. We want to invite Santa Claus to the holiday.
Khattab. Why Frost? For what? I'm afraid. Where I live, it’s always warm, the sun is shining, trees and palm trees are growing. There is no snow, why do you need Santa Claus?
SN. Without him, we cannot light the Christmas tree. We want it to light up now!
Khattab. Oh, the cruelest of the cruel! Oh, evil children! Do you want it wonderful tree burned out?
SN. No, grandpa. We want multi-colored lights - light bulbs - to light up on the tree.
Khattab. So I'll do it right now! (Takes out a wand and casts a spell). Oh, la-lam, oh, la-lam!
(The lights don't come on).
SN. Calm down, Khattabych. Maybe you can help us invite DMs? He will light the lights on the tree.
Khattab. Santa Claus! Santa Claus!
Ay, gin, ah, gin!
Ay, la-la!
You, blizzard, don’t blow,
And invite Frost.
(Snowflake girls run out).
"Dance of Snowflakes". (To the song "Silver Snowflakes")
Khattab. I invited Santa Claus, and how many Snow Maidens came!
SN. Khattabych, these are not snow maidens, but snowflakes
Khattab. Snowflakes!
SN. Snowflakes. We don't need snowflakes. Fly away!
Khattab. (blows on them)
SN. Khattabych, invite Santa Claus. He will come to our holiday and bring fun!
Khattab. (casts a spell):
Ay, gin, ah, gin!
Ay, la-la!
You, blizzard, don’t blow,
Invite Moroz to us!
(The snowman begins to spin to the music)
Oh oh oh! What happened with me?
CH: Hottabych! This is our Snowman, not Santa Claus
Khattab: What miracles! How is it that snowflakes and snowmen appear instead of Frost?
SN. Yes, Khattabych, you are somewhat absent-minded today.
Khattab. I'm not the only one who is absent-minded. Guys can be distracted too.
SN. Our guys who are sitting in the hall are very attentive!
Khattab. I'll check it now!
Answer the questions:
This is me, this is me, these are all my friends
And clap your hands.
1. Who sings and has fun,
And isn't he afraid of work?
2. Who has ever been sick?
Because I overate?
3. Who is not afraid of frost,
Does he fly around the rink like a bird?
4. Which of you, brothers, tell me,
Forgets to wash your face?
5. Who knows how to relax,
Run, swim and play?
6. Who is a good fisherman -
Catches cows with a fishing rod?
7. Which of you is on the pavement?
Does he walk with his head down?
Khattab: -Well, well, apparently everything is fine with your guys.
SN. Khattabych, I think I know what’s going on.
Khattab: - I wonder what business you are talking about, beautiful, very beautiful, deeply respected?
CH: -Well, of course, Khattabych! You wanted to invite DM, but so far nothing has worked out for you.
Khattabych: Oh, yes! Yes Yes Yes.
CH: -So, you forgot the magic word, think about it.
Khattab. I know this word, Everyone should say it when asking for something. Oh, wisest of the wise children, do you know what this word is?
All. Please!
Khattab. Right (takes out a wand).
Wand please
Contribute to the service,
Grandfather Frost
Invite us!
(To the music, Kh. brings out a toy Santa Claus from behind the tree).
SN. Aw, why is he so small!
Khattab. He drove from afar
And the road is not easy.
Where has he been?
Got caught in the sun's rays!
Take him into the woods and put him in the biggest snowdrift.
He will grow up and come to the party! (Snowman brings out the toy DM)
(Khattabych puts on his coat). It's time for me to say goodbye. It's getting cold, and I'm afraid of the frost. It's time to return to warmer climes.
Goodbye, wisest of the wise!
Goodbye, the most beautiful of the most beautiful!
(Kisses SN’s hand, leaves).
Music sounds, Snowman and Santa Claus enter and walk around the hall.
Sn. Here he comes welcome guest,
Full of beard,
And cheerful and rosy.
Who is this?
CHILDREN: Father Frost!
D.M. I see there are forest bears here,
Dolls, naughty squirrels
And funny little goats,
Wolves, brave hares.
Everyone dressed up in costumes
And they started dancing at the Christmas tree.
So there is a ball in this hall,
New Year's carnival!
(Song “Merry Santa Claus was walking”)
D.M. (loses his mitten, Snowman picks it up)
Well done! How well you sing. Oh, where is my mitten, have you guys seen it?
Snowman:. We saw it, we saw it, but we won’t just give it to you. Come play with us.
A game "Catch the Mitten"
(children pass the mitten around in a circle, D.M. tries to take it away, but nothing happens)
D.M. Oh, and tired! You are young, but do you know how old I am? Three hundred! That's why I can't keep up with you. Give me another task.
CH: Grandfather, light up our Christmas tree!
DM: Yes, nothing is easier for me! One two Three! Shine Christmas tree!
(The Christmas tree lights up)
Snowman. Our Christmas tree is shining
How beautiful is her outfit!
There are so many lights and toys!
All the lights are on!
(Snowman gives away his mitten)
CH- Good grandfather Freezing! Play a guessing game with the kids!
Children:
Dear Grandfather Frost,
Look at us
Guess, Santa Claus,
What are we doing now?
(play violin)
You are scratching your beard.
Children:
No, we play the violin.
Children:
Dear Grandfather Frost,
Look at us
Guess, Santa Claus,
What are we doing now?
(play the pipe)
You drink milk.
Children:
No, we play the pipe.
Children:

Guess, Santa Claus,
What are we doing now?
(play the piano)
You sort through the grains.
Children:

Snowman:
Santa Claus, you didn’t guess anything, dance and make us happy, play with us again
(a game “Bom-bom-bom the clock is knocking”)
DM: Oh, you play well, it’s fun to be with you, but the old one needs to rest. Maybe you can tell me some poetry?
(Children recite poems)
DM: We sang and played,
I'm glad to have fun!
Now isn't it time for us
Hold a masquerade ball?
CH: Come on, everyone is in suits and masks
Become as if in a fairy tale.
Let's go with Grandfather,
We'll find the best suits.
We will rightfully reward everyone,
We won't deprive anyone.
(Awarding best suits to the music.)
D.M. Sang songs and made children laugh.
What else have I forgotten?
Children. Present!
D.M. Well, okay, kids,
You amused me.
For the sake of a holiday for you
I've got some gifts!
Sn: -DM! Where are your gifts?
DM: -Snow Maiden, have you forgotten that I am a wizard?
Here, guys, is a snowball,
Snowball, huge ball.
He lies to himself
Doesn't interfere, doesn't make noise
Only someone...not simple...
Snowman (with a grin): Yes, it’s made of snow!
DM: -Wait!
You will break the snowball
and you will find gifts there!
(SN and Snowman unwrap gifts)
CH: Yes, grandpa, you are not just a wizard, you are the best magician!
DM: It's time, friends!
You need to say goodbye.
I congratulate everyone from the bottom of my heart,
Let's celebrate the New Year together
Both adults and kids.
CH: I'm in New I wish you success this year!
More cheerful ringing laughter!
More cheerful friends and girlfriends,
So that everyone around you laughs together!
Snowman: Thank you all for your attention,
For the enthusiasm, for the ringing laughter.
Now the moment of farewell has come,
We tell you: "Goodbye!
See you happy next time!"
