At last the winter holidays came! I was very happy! I didn't have to get up early in the morning and run to school. I could stay in the bed till midday. But I didn't want to sleep. There were a lot of things to do.
The weather was fine so my freinds and I went to the skating- rink almost every day. It was fun!
Then I spent a week in the country where my grandfather and grandmother lived. It was great. I drank milk and eat a lot of tasty food which my granny prepared for me.
I have many friends in this village because I go there every holidays.
We went to the forest to ski, we made snowmen and played snowballs. We even played hockey!
But the winter holidays were over and I returned to the city again. I liked my holidays very much.
