I think my favourite holiday is New Year. Why? Because everything changes beforе this day. People are scurrying around, shopping, choosing gifts to their near and dear ones. And of course, I love New Year because of it's inherent attribute - Christmas tree. I also can not imagine this holiday without New Year's feast. Cooking dinner in this day - it is a special moment in each family. And there is one more importand moment - fireworks after midnight. It is a wonderful culmination of the holiday!
