New Year in Great Britain

In the United Kingdom, the New Year is celebrated from the evening of December 31st into January 1st.

The date was declared as the New Year in 1752. Before 1752, England celebrated its New Year on Christmas Day, that is on December, 25.

Traditionally it is not as widely celebrated as Christmas. However, people enthusiastically wait for the time of the New Year to arrive; more so because it offers them a chance to carry forward their celebration mood of Christmas ahead and higher with the New Year celebrations.

Hello, my diary! Today i want to write about so many things that hapened in my life in past few days. First i started to study hard and be less egoistic with everyone who loves me and supports me. Actually, i tried to live like this before, but i was too weak to keep on going. But i think the Main thing i did this is that i stopped eating too much. First beginner steps were very difficult: it was unpleasant for me to stop drinking Coke and eating a big Bag of donuts, start sportying a least once a week. And only one thing showed that i shouldn't give up in my fight : big problems with my health. Doctors were saying to me that if wont stop living that lifestyle, i would be dead after 3-4 years. Those years i could live lying in the hospital bed and dying slowly, painfully and depressively.
So, what do i want to say, my friends: just stop being so lazy, stop eating so much junk food or you will loose your chance to live happily and have a strong health!
