Різдвяні свята вже не такі як були. Вже немає тої радості в очах яку я документував 10-12 років назад. І навряд чи це вдасться змінити в найближчі часи. В ті теплі дні перед новим роком, коли промені сонця вибирали з під хмар і підсвічували колядників – це давало надію. #ukraine #war #christmas #hutsuls
