Holidays in Great Britain
Unfortunately, I’ve never been to England, and my desire is to visit Great Britain during Christmas celebration. The atmosphere is wonderful: there are a lot of Christmas trees everywhere; houses are decorated with candles and toys.
Christmas is celebrated at the 25th of December and is thought to be a family holiday. Children decorate their Christmas trees with lights, toys, candies, candles and looking forward to receive presents from a Santa Claus, who is believed to come down the chimney and leave gifts in children’s stockings. Both children and adults like this magnificent holiday!
Holidays in Russia
There are a lot of national holidays in Russia. I would like to tell you about Easter. So what are the symbols of this holiday? Firstly there are traditional dishes such as panted eggs, Easter cakes and paskha.
Speaking about specific Russian traditions there must be mentioned that people congratulate each other on the fest saying: “Christos Voskrese”, there is no such a tradition in English- or French-speaking countries.
My favourite holiday
My family like holidays very much because you can have fun all day long and don’t have to do anything. Our favorite holiday is a New Year’s Day. My family and I celebrate it together with relatives at the 31st of December.
Grandfather Frost and his granddaughter Snegurochka are thought to be the main characters of New Year in Russia. They deliver and give presents to small children.
At Christmas Day, together with my family we sing, dance and have fun.
As for me, summer is the best season.It's not only because I have the longest holiday,but also it's time when the weather is very fine.I like to ride my bike and I tried to do it every day.I and my friend rode our bikes almost for two or three hours.Also we went to the library and took something to read.I helped my parents about the house.Some days ago I visited my granny.We baked a delicious apple cake.I tried not to watch TV much.I spent much time in the fresh air.
You see,my holidays are interesting and not boring.
