  1. There are a lot of holidays, for example: Thanksgiving day, mothers Day, Valentine's day and other. But my favourite holidays are winter holidays. I like them because of their mystery and magic. Children believe, that Santa Claus will come to them and will bring presents, or St Nicholas will put a gift under the pillow while they sleep. Kids believe in it so much that parents begin to believe in this too. Although, I like all the winter holidays, my favourite is New Year. People all over the world are fond of New Year. They celebrate this day with much happiness and enjoyment. Personally I celebrate New Year with my family. We gather together and have fun and just enjoy every moment.

  4. The most long-awaited holiday is New Year. It's a really wonderful holiday. I usually celebrate it with my family. My sister and I usually decorate the house and the Christmas tree. The presents are put under these tree.My mother cooks New Year supper. We help her to decorate dishes. At twelve o'clock in the night we are sitting at the table to our holiday dinner and enjoy it in a good company. We don't go to bed till morning, we watch TV, dance, eat tasty dishes qnd make jokes. I enjoy this holiday very much and I always look forward to it!

  5. New Year’s Day is a family holiday for many Ukrainians. Dinner usually starts late on December 31. Traditional meals include Ukrainians salads, herring and sparkling wine. A pre-recorded address by the country’s president appears on TV, listing the achievements of the past year, at 11.55pm (23:55). Many people watch his address and raise a toast to the chiming of the clock. People congratulate each other and exchange presents. Some people go out to make a snowman or light fire crackers in their backyards.People may celebrate the day at a friend’s house or attend the fireworks in their city. Celebrations for children include a decorated fir tree and Grandfather Frost, the Slavian equivalent of Santa Claus, who gives presents. Grandfather Frost often comes with his granddaughter, Snegurochka (“The Snow Girl”). As things quieten down later in the day, many people visit their friends or relatives. Another tradition is to wish a “Happy New Year” to passers-by throughout January 1.
