5. We have many holidays in Ukraine. First of all it is the New Year. It is nice and funny to decorate the New Year Tree, to dance near it and to receive and give presents. A week after the New Year day we celebrate Christmas. In Ukraine it is an old popular holiday. In the morning children go from house to house, from flat to flat, sing traditional holiday songs and wish everything good to the people they visit. The people give them sweets, cakes, money. The 8 th of March is the Women’s Day. We give presents to our mothers, grandmothers, teachers, sisters and girl-friends. On the 1 st of May we celebrate May Day. On the 9 th of May we have Victory Day. It is a great holiday. We say, “Thank you very much” to old people who took part in the Great Patriotic War (1941-1945) and defended our Motherland against the fascists. On the 24 th of August we celebrate Independence Day. Each holiday is interesting in its way but all of them are good and merry.
