There are many different holidays in England. I would like to tell you about how english people celebrate New Year and Christmas. They celebrate New Year on January, 1st. They decorate the Christmas tree and the rooms. English people cook much food and set the table. They invite guests, they play interesting games and dance, when it gets midnight, they all clink glasses. 
All english people celebrate Christmas on December, 25th. It is an annual commemoration of the birth of Jesus Christ. Preparing for the holiday begins long before December 25th. In November people choose gifts. discuss the holiday menu, send cards and prepare the house for the holiday. 
At the beginning of December there is a big Christmas tree on the main square of England and it's lit by lights. All people decorate not only their houses, but the area around it. There are the figures of Father Christmas on the lawns. there are wreaths on the doors and there are lights in the windows.

Van Gogh lived only 37 years, of which only the last seven were devoted to painting. However, his musical legacy is amazing. It's about a thousand pictures and almost as many paintings created by volcanic eruptions creative when during the long weeks van Gogh painted one or two paintings every day. Van Gogh was the last truly great artist in history, unattainable example for others, selfless and heroic art which, like a torch, like a rainbow now shines over humanity. His paintings is stunning, full of love and suffering dialogue with oneself, with God, with the world...
