Dear Sean, thank you for your letter. I'm sorry I haven't answered you in so long. In your letter you asked about Russian holidays. So, the most popular holiday in Russia is the New year. It is celebrated on January 1. On this day, we prepare delicious dishes, such as salad "Olivie" (Russian salad). This holiday we have always associated with the smell of tangerines and needles. Every year we decorate the Christmas tree, organize a fun party and invite the family. All kids love Santa Claus because he brings them gifts. At midnight we make a wish and wish each other a happy new year. We love to start the fireworks. On winter vacation, when it is not cold, we spend a lot of time on the street. We go skiing and ice skating, sledding and rings. Very fun to move down the mountain! By the way, tell me about your favorite holiday. Don't go missing and take care of yourself. Best wishes, huh ???. (Имя на фотографии нет, впишешь, какое надо.)
