Banquet continuation day

The comedies of Leonid Gaidai are an inexhaustible source of popular expressions “For the children - ice cream, for the woman - flowers, and be careful not to mix them up!”, “Our people don’t take a taxi to the bakery!”, “Life, as they say, is good And living well is even better!” and other witty phrases One of the most popular was the exclamation of the house manager Bunshi from the film “Ivan Vasilyevich Changes His Profession”: “I demand that the banquet be continued!” This call unexpectedly transformed into a funny holiday December 28th is the Day of Continuation of the Banquet In Russia, the custom of having a last drink, or before leaving, has existed for a very long time Just like the tradition of sitting down on the path when saying goodbye to a guest Before setting off on a journey, our ancestors certainly drank from a ladle or glass on the threshold of their home or home that sheltered them On the Day of the Continuation of the Banquet, it is customary to sit longer at the table, and after a glass of tea, stay as a guest, contrary to all traditions, or go somewhere to continue more fun Actor AA Shirvindt happily recalls his youth and the company that included MM Derzhavin, AA Mironov, MA Zakharov, and their joint adventures Friends and their wives loved jokes and practical jokes, kitchen gatherings at a set table, which began in the evening and ended well after midnight Farewell, when the strength of those present was running low, but the soul demanded continued communication, was accompanied by an unchanging ritual Usually in the morning in the hallway, when everyone was getting dressed to go out, Mark Zakharov, with an imperturbable expression, said the most hated phrase for all wives: “It would be stupid to break up!” After which the restless friends rushed, for example, to the airport or train station, where there were buffets open around the clock, and the banquet continued Breaking up in the middle of a party is like ending a movie series or a book chapter at the most interesting place The continuation of the banquet requires the soul of real people and cartoon characters Winnie the Pooh, who came with Piglet to visit the Rabbit for a little refreshment, could not leave without eating all the honey "And they sat a little longer And then a little more And a little more Until, alas, there was absolutely nothing left!" For the bear cub, whose soul demanded the continuation of the banquet, this visit ended sadly: he barely got out of the rabbit hole, finding himself in a hopeless situation, ie simply stuck in the door Any party should bring joy and pleasure to its participants Therefore, in honor of the Day of Continuation of the Banquet, you should not binge on food or get drunk until you lose consciousness Remember that this feast in a cheerful and friendly company is not the last in your life Therefore, take care of yourself and save your strength for the next continuation of the banquet
