My favourite holiday is New Year. it is one of the oldest and deeply revered holidays. not only children but also grown-ups love New Year. New Year is a special holiday in my family. this is the time when we all gather at a big table. A few days before New Year we put up our Christmas tree in the living room. we also decorate all the rooms. we put Christmas figures on the shelves. all these things feel our house with a special festival atmosphere. my mum cooks something special for New Year’s dinner. we all help her. we like to follow the new trend and celebrate New Year wearing same colours as the colour of the animal in chines calendar. We usually watch different New Year programs on TV on this day. when the clock on the Kremlin tower strikes midnight, we, according to the long standing tradition, make our wishes and give each other compliments of the season. after that we exchange gifts with each other. For me, New Year is the night, when air is filled with magic, this is the time of new hopes and aspirations, a feeling of easiness and joy. this is the time when I want to live, enjoymy life to the full and move forward!
