Frankly speaking, christmas is one of my favourite winter holidays! this year i spent it with my family. my  brother was responsible for adornments. my sister was asked to find a great venue. and i was expected to find some new recipes for the  unique christmas dishes. so i started to look for some unusual ideas related to the christmas celebration. however, it was not so simple as it seemed at first. i must admit, that i got really confused while trying to make it come true. as a result, i had no ideas about christmas menu at the morning of christmas day.  therefore, my mum got completely cross with me! fortunately, i remembered about my classmade nick, who was really good at cooking and learning foreign national dishes. he helped me with the christmas preparation and tought all the unique resepies of some tasty dishes.another part of the day i spent with my family. the venue and adornments were really inconceivable!   we enjoied playing games, watcching tv and telling christmas stories. all the family approved the christmas venue, i was so pleased! that certainly was the best christmas celebration ever: )

Probably, in london and helpful. the town red phones and green flower beds. last year i was finally able to visit it! going down the ladder and moved to a small hostel, i hastily washed, распаковала things and went for a walk. the first that is evident in a huge number of shops! here you can buy any fashionable and not very thing. however, the prices are biting. shopping in moscow will cost much cheaper. attractions here at every step. why are only the guards in bizarre hats with a rifle at the ready. you can walk up boldly and be photographed. debt service will not allow them to move. one day i was walking around london. in the soho neighborhood, i noticed that there everywhere are flocking crowds of people. they drink beer and have fun. i thought in the english of some national holiday. music blasted, on the street many men with dyed hair and unusual costumes. and all gather in the festive column. i just could not join. and suddenly i see that go under the huge sign that says that this is a gay-parade! and i've already quit columns can't because he was in the first ranks. so i became a participant gay demonstrations, herself not wanting to. it was terribly funny!
