Dear Ann,

I like New Year's Day, it is my favourite holiday.

Our family prepares for this holiday beforehand. My father buys and brings home a beautiful New Year's tree. I like to decorate it with toys, little coloured lights, sweets and a beautiful star on the top.

My mother and grandmother prepare our holiday supper and lay the table. I help them to make a cake.

We like to see the New Year in at home with our relatives. They come to see us  in the evening.  At 12 o'clock we sit at the table, and we are glad to see the New Year in. We say, "Best wishes for the New Year!"

It is a pleasant moment to get presents on the New Year's Eve.

I usually get many nice useful things from my parents and relatives.

We don't go to bed till the morning, we watch TV, dance, eat tasty things and make jokes.  It's fun! That's why I enjoy this holiday very much.

That's all for now.

Take care! Write back soon.

Best wishes,

Lina
