In winter i get up at night  and dress by yellow candle-light.  in summer quite the other way,  i have to go to bed by day. i have to go to bed and see  the birds still hopping on the tree,  or hear the grown-up people's feet  still going past me in the street. and does it not seem hard to you,  when all the sky is clear and blue,  and i should like so much to play,  to have to go to bed by day?  зимой просыпаться – темно, как в ночи –  встаю, одеваюсь – при свете свечи.  и лето с зимой не сравнишь –  светло ещё – ты уже спишь. как можно уснуть? – за окном  порхание птиц над кустом  и взрослых шагов перестук,  и разный доносится звук. и кажется странным, что вы,  хоть небо полно синевы  и можно б ещё поиграть,  должны отправляться в кровать. 

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:)
