                                          Holidays

          I think all people like holidays, because they don't work and have a good time. They can visit their friends and relatives, invite guests and have a lot of fun.

         There are many different holidays. On the first of January we celebrate New Year. On the  twenty-fifth of December we have Christmas. On the eighth of March we congratulate our mothers, grandmothers, sisters and all the women with their holiday. The twenty-fourth  of  August is Independence Day.

            But our favourite holidays are Christmas and New Year. They are full of magic, presents and hopes.

            Every year we have a New Year tree and decorate it with toys, tinsel and coloured lights. We send and get many greeting cards. We buy and give presents to our dearest and nearest. I like to get presents. Last year my parents gave me a wonderful game and many tasty things as a present. Next year I would like to get a puppy, because I like pets and I want to take care of somebody. Puppies are so charming. I'm going to make something with my own hands for my Mum, Dad, Granddad and Granny.

          We usually have a holiday supper with many tasty things. When the clock strikes twelve the grown-ups drink a toast to the New Year and wish «Happy New Year» to each other. Then we dance, sing songs, watch holiday TV or go for a walk and play games. I think it is the best holiday.
