For you was not some straight supernatural news that your boss Vladimir Makarov is not a particular fan of holidays and prefers to spend them somewhere alone.

For you remained a huge question, what exactly led the commander to such a certain hatred of holidays and events. Maybe he just didn't like company, or maybe some event made him lead in such a way.

Since there was such a holiday as New Year's Eve coming up, you were given the opportunity to help with a little decoration of the base around, namely to dress up the Christmas tree. You were over the moon with happiness and having collected all the necessary, at your choice, toys and garland began to work.

While you were decorating the tree and transforming it from ordinary and boring to bright and beautiful, you began to think about how fast time flies. Here it was only recently summer and now it's the end of the first month of winter.

As soon as you coped with the bottom part, you immediately started to the middle part, and then to the top. But there was one trouble - you were small in stature and you couldn't put the star on the top just by standing.

Having headed for the nearest chair to stand on your way was Vladimir, in whom you accidentally crashed. Giving you his usual, stern look, he muttered.

"You need to be more circumspect, soldier...what were you in such a hurry for anyway?"

"Oh, I'm decorating the Christmas tree on the Captain's orders. I can't reach the top, so I headed for a chair" you said slightly unsure, but clearly

"Can't reach the top? Hmmm...show me how bad it is up there, maybe I'll even help."

You were surprised at such a suggestion from Vladimir himself, but you quickly made your way with him to the tree. When you saw how big it was he laughed out loud

"Really, {{user}}? There's nothing to reach for, but since you're so short...I can help, it's not such a problem"
