                                      A letter from England

10, Green Road

London SE 10

20 December 2004

Dear friends,

Thank you for your letter. It was very interesting for me to know about New Year’s Day in your country.

New Year’s Day is one of the greatest holidays in Scotland but not in England.

People from Scotland invite their friends to their houses. They give presents to the relatives and their friends.

In England we do not stay at home on the New Year’s Day. We go for a walk to the central square. We listen to the strikes of the largest clock in Great Britain – Big Ben and enjoy the New Year coming.

We celebrate Christmas on the 25^th of December. On this day our Christmas holiday begin. That is why we like Christmas so much. Soon it will be the New Year, so I sent a postcard to all of you and wish you a happy New Year.

Love,

Santa Claus.
