HOLIDAYS IN RUSSIA There are many national holidays in Russia, when people all over the country do
not work and have special celebrations. The major holidays are: New Year's Day.
Women's Day, May Day, Victory Day, and Independence Day.
The first holiday of the year is New Year's Day. People see the new year in at
midnight on the 31st of December. They greet the new year with champagne and listen
to the Kremlin chimes beating 12 o'clock. There are lots of New Year traditions in
Russia. In every home there is a New Year tree glittering with coloured lights and
decorations. Children always wait for Father Frost to come and give them a present.

have New Year parties of their own.

everything about the house, cook all the meals and give women flowers.

Motherland. We honour their memory with a minute of silence and put flowers on the
Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
