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

my recent winter holidays were a lot of fun. i tried to visit as many places as i could and to do a lot of different things. even though the weather wasn't very nice, it didn't make me feel sad. i went to the mall and to the skating-rink with my family and friends. it's always interesting to learn something new, so i also visited the movies and watched some great films. and then, of course, there were new year and christmas, which are both my favourite holidays. we had a gorgeous christmas-tree decorated with toys and christmas lights. on the first day of new year i got many presents from my family and relatives. after all, it was just great to take some time off from school and to sleep till noon. i really enjoyed my winter holidays.
