Who is the imposter who posted the same message 20 minutes before this one?
Anyway, a good new year to both Jayhawkers.

С Новый Год!!!
Брызги шампанского, (Splashes of champagne,)
Праздничный стол! (A festive table!)
Резво мерцают гирлянды. (The garlands twinkle playfully)
Музыка, танцы (The music, the dancing)
И шум голосов - (And the murmur of voices –)
Праздник пришел долгожданный! (The long-awaited festivity has come!)
Вот и двенадцать пробили часы, (The clock has just struck twelve,)
Замерли все в ожидании. (Everyone freezes in waiting.)
Вот незаметно и год пролетел, (And the year has passed by unnoticed,)
Что же сказать на прощанье? (What should we say for a farewell?)
Игрушки на ёлке (Toys on the firtree)
В тот зимний вечерок. (On this winter evening.)
Спешит к нам на санях (He's hurrying to us on his sleigh)
Волшебный старичок! (The magical little old man!)
Плывёт к нам с подарками (It's sailing towards us with presents.)
Снежный теплоход. (The snow ship)
Все станет волшебным (Everything will become magical)
Под праздник Новый Год! (For the New Year's celebration!)
Новый Год! (The New Year!)
Ласковый ветер ворвется в мой дом (A gentle breeze will blow into my house)
И приукрасит наш праздник (And grace our celebration)
Что ты таишь в этот день за окном, (What are you hiding this day, outside the window,)
Ласковый ветер-проказник? (Gentle wind-trickster?)
И он ответит: "Летите за мной! (And he will answer, "Fly after me!)
Я вам секреты открою!" (I'll reveal to you my secrets!")
Так все таинственно под Новый Год, (So everything is mysterious on New Year's Eve,)
Что же случилось со мною? (Whatever happened to me?)
Игрушки на ёлке (Toys on the firtree)
В тот зимний вечерок. (On this winter evening.)

I don't understand this custom. What is happy about it, any which way?!
I have no idea how that happened. Furthermore, I could find no way to delete one of them.
Perhaps the message wasn't for you.
There's nothing wrong with having 2 such threads.
It's rather cheery to see.
