I spent most of the winter holidays in the city. I had planned to have a good rest, relax. I managed to do everything I had planned. There was a New Year party in our school. It was very well organized and I enjoyed it.I think it is a kind and fairy holiday. People forgive each other, exchanges presents and good wishes. This New Year's day I celebrated as always with my family at home. Long before the holiday we had decorated the rooms and a fir tree. On the New Year's day I helped my mother with cooking. Every year we make a big cake. It is our family tradition. At midnight some people went outside and set off fireworks. It was so wonderful that it took my breath away.
