I love the winter holidays. Although they are much shorter than the summer, but are always fun and bright. This is because the winter holidays fall my favorite holidays - Christmas and New Year. All two weeks off from school holiday atmosphere reigns. I usually spend my winter holidays at home, because the holidays come to our grandparents or other relatives. Together we are preparing for the celebration - decorate the house and prepare delicious meals. And then the whole family celebrated the New Year, usually do not sleep all night. And this year, I hope that I will be able to visit the Carpathians. This is my dream - to spend your winter vacation at a ski resort, skiing, and see with your own eyes the beauty of the mountains in winter. Winter holidays provide a break from studying, to communicate with family and devote time favorite pastime. In winter, when it's freezing, I like to sit with a book by the window and listen to music. And when the snow falls, I'm going to walk into the street. Everything is white, it seems that you get a completely different dimension. So beautiful around! You can go skating or sledding fly down the hill, or even play in the snow and make a snowman. It's always fun for everyone - children and adults. Winter holidays - a wonderful time. Too bad they quickly come to an end, and we again have to go back to school. But the thrills of a good time spent stay with us for a long time and brightens tough training routine.
