winter holidays  my name is пиши своё . i’m thirteen years old. my favourite season is winter. my holidays began on the 28th of december. i am in a good mood because new year’s day and two weeks of the rest will come soon. i like festive bustle. in the first day of our holidays i and my sister decorated our flat and we also decorated the christmas tree in the evening. there is a tradition in our family: we all go skiing to the forest in the morning in the last day of the year. we enjoy beauty of the forest, breath fresh air and have a great time. usually our walk takes us two hours. then we begin to prepare for holiday. in the first day of january we went to celebrate our grandmother and grandfather and next day we went to street festivities at city square. the whole holidays i and my sister were spending much time in the street. we could go skating, having a fight with snowballs or making a snowman. also we walked in the snow-covered park. i liked my winter holidays very much.

dear jackie,

thanks for your last letter! on the topic of holidays in russia, i can tell you that christmas is not as popular in russia as it is in britain. instead, we celebrate new year's eve more fervently here.

is it true that you celebrate christmas on december 25th? here we celebrate it on the january 7th. it is traditionally celebrated by religious believers, whereas i heard that in britain people of all faiths and even atheists celebrate christmas too. am i right?

my favourite holiday is new year's eve, as we put up a fir tree and have a big meal on this day and meet up with friends or relatives. other holidays we celebrate include women's day, men's day and victory day. we also celebrate the start of spring for one whole week and we call this time 'maslenitsa'. what do you call the day when you celebrate the beginning of lent by making pancakes? write back soon, sasha
