How I Saw the New Year in

New Year is my favourite holiday.We celebrate it on the 31st of December.

This year I celebrated New Year with my family. On New Year Eve we bought a New Year tree and decorated it with coloured balls and bright lights. We bought presents for our friends and relatives. My mother and I cooked a holiday supper. We made tasty salads, chicken, potatoes and mushrooms. We made a holiday cake, too. We bought a lot of fruit and sweets. We decorated our house with flakes and toys and put beautiful candles on the fireplace. We put a nice tablecloth, place and cups on the table.

Our guests came to visit us in the evening. They gave me wonderful presents. My aunt gave me a teddy bear as a present. My uncle`s present for me was a beautiful doll.

Then Father Frost came to our place. He was so funny! He had a big bag of presents.I told him a poem about winter, and he gave me a computer game as a present.

At last New Year came! We congratulated our dearest and nearest and wished them a Happy New Year! We enjoyed food and drinks. We danced, sang songs and played. I played the guitar. We had a good time together.

New Year is my favourite holiday

January 1 is one of the most light and joyful holidays in the world, it’s New Year's Day. This year, I spent it in the village with my parents and my grandmother , who lives near Volgograd. I have many friends in this village, because I often go there for my holidays. 
Our parents allowed us to celebrate New Year in one of our neighbors’ house. We set a great holiday table with traditional Russian dishes which were prepared by my grandmother and our girls, they prepared a lot of different things: goose in apples, salads and my grandmother's favorite hot pies.
 I was Santa Claus during this holiday and I gave everybody the gifts that we had prepared for each other.
