2. Russian people love holidays. Most Russian people are proud of their traditions and customs and they carefully follow them. But there are people in Russia who live through occasions without knowing that they have happened or they just ignore them

3. As for me I like holidays! I’d like to tell you about New Year’s Day. I like New Year’s Day, it is my favorite holiday. The 1 st of January is a winter holiday and now it is the first day of the New Year. It was introduced by Peter the Great in 1700.

4. The 1 st of January is a great holiday! I don’t go to school and my parents don’t go to work. We usually have got a very interesting New Year’s party at school. We have got it on the 28 th or 29 th of December.

5. People decorate the rooms with special decorations, and also the New Year tree with sweets, tangerines and glass balls.

6. The main subject is a tree – “yolka”. It is a small but beautifully dressed fur-tree. Celebrating the New Year includes a party with a tasty dinner and watching TV.

7. The New Year’s Day is the holiday of holidays in Russia. It is a pleasant moment to get presents on the New Year’s Eve.

8. The New Year’s Day is always connected with our new hopes and dreams. I enjoy this holiday very much.
