My Last Winter Holidays
I spent my last winter holidays in Moscow This year I did not go anywhere it!
thought it would be dull to stay at home. But how it seems to me they have been one of
the finest holidays in my life. May be that's because they were our last winter holidays at
school but all the same we had a lot of fun
Our winter holidays began on the 27th of December. On that day we had a New Year
party at school Certainly, we had been prepanng to the party for a long time beforehand
We had prepared an amateur performance with Father Frost and Snow Marden There
were different competitions, we played different games Certainly the lucky winners got
the memorable prizes We had prepared them beforehand but we had not bought them
We had brought some nice thnkets from our homes Those who won these prizes sard
that they are especially dear to them because they would remind them about their
schoolmates. Then we had a dance party That day we had a lot of fun
I like winter for a number of holidays we celebrate at the beginning of a new year
