Dear Andrew,
Thank you for your letter. It was great to hear from you.
You asked me about Mother's Day. Well, I think it is a great holiday. I know how difficult it is to find a good present for mother. Mother’s Day in Russia is celebrated every year in November. People give their mothers different gifts and flowers. As for me, I usually give my mum some handmade things, such as a shopping-bag or an oven mitten. Our favourite family holidays are birthdays, Christmas, New Year and Easter. Our family enjoys time we spend together.
Best wishes,
