I like a lot of holidays but my favourite one is New Year's Day. It is a national holiday celebrated on January 1st, the first day of the New Year. Many people celebrate New Year’s Day with their families.

A few weeks before the holiday cities and towns of our country turn into a wonderland of light, sparkles and decorations. We can see Father Frosts with their Snegurockas in the streets and hear the season songs everywhere. I like walking around my city before the holiday, soaking in the New Year feeling.

On the eve of the holiday people in my country clean their homes, prepare gifts for their friends and relatives, decorate New Year trees and cook lots of food for the New Year’s Eve dinner.

It is also a tradition to listen to our President's New Year message, and then listen to the bells chiming marking the start of the New Year. After that people go to watch fireworks, concerts or stay at home and watch New Year TV-shows. The celebration continues until the morning of January 1.
