Сочинение на про выдуманный праздник

Russian new year and christmas for russians, there is no holiday more important than the new year. it is the first on the calendar and in popularity. people see the new year in at midnight on the 31st of december. they greet the new year with champagne and listen to the kremlin chimes beating 12 o'clock. russian holiday tradition includes a decorated new year's tree - ёлка* (fir tree). children always wait for дед mopoз* (grandfather frost), to come and bring them a present. grandfather frost's residence is situated in velikii ustug, the town on the north of russia. grandfather frost is always accompanied by his granddaughter снегурочка* (snowmaiden) who helps him distribute the gifts. for the russians, the new year is a family holiday; people think about friends and relatives. but young people prefer to have the new year parties of their own. don't be surprised, but at midnight on the 13d of january people in russia celebrate old new year that corresponds to january 7th in the julian calendar, used in russia before 1918. after the revolution that took place in 1917 year religion was called as "opium for people" and christmas was banned throughout russia, along with other religious celebrations. so celebrating new year became a sort of "replacement" for it. only after 75 years, in 1992, christmas became openly observed. russian orthodox church celebrates christmas on january 7th, in accordance with the old julian calendar. a lot of people go to church services on that day. on the eve of christmas, it is traditional for all family members to gather. but, until now, christmas is less popular in russia in contrast to britain or the usa, where it is the greatest holiday of the year.
