 There are many holidays in
our country. They are: New
Year’s Day, Christmas,
Women’s Day, Victory Day,
May Day and others.
 I like New Year’s Day, it is my
favourite holiday. The 1st of
January is a winter holiday
and now it is the first day of
the New Year.
 Peter the First changed
the Russian calendar in
1699. He made the 31st
of December the last
day of year.
 The 1st of January is in
the middle of winter.
The weather is usually
fine and there is a lot of
snow everywhere.
 Our family prepares for
this holiday
beforehand. My father
brings home a
beautiful New Year’s
tree at the end of
December. I like to
decorate the New
Year’s tree with toys,
little coloured lights,
sweets and a beautiful
star at the top.
 My mother prepares our holiday supper
and lays the table. All the members of our
family clean and decorate the flat before
this nice holiday.
 We like to see the New Year in at home with our friends.
They come to us at 10 o’clock in the evening. At 12 o’clock
we are sitting at the table and we are glad to see the New
Year in. We say: “Best wishes for the New Year!”.
 The New Year’ Day is always
connected with our new
hopes and dreams.
 It is a pleasant moment to
get presents on the New
Year’ Day.
 I usually get many nice
useful things from my
parents and relatives.
 My parents put their
presents under the New
Year’s tree.
 We don’t go to bed till morning, we
watch TV, dance, eat tasty things and
make jokes.
 I enjoy this holiday very much!
