How are you? Christmas is coming! How are you going to celebrate? I will celebrate it at home with family. We will make a lot of Christmas cakes and cookies. And have you made the menu?
Anyway, we will celebrate Christmas in school before holidays. In my class it is very difficult to organize celebrations. There is very little help from our teacher and my class is very disorganized. Also there will be a disco and a competition on Christmas in school.
Last year several girls and boys brought food and pizza! This year I think will do the same. But last year we did not have time to arrange contests. We went to the contest, and then we went to the disco.
It would be nice if you could come to us for Christmas! We will have fun with my class. This year we also participate in the competition, and we have the best idea! Be sure to come!
Maslenitsa is one of most popular festivals in Russia. it is pagan in origin signals the end of winter and welcomes spring. Russian pancakes blini are very important in the celebration of maslenitsa. They are given to friends and family all through the week. Blini are eaten with jam, sour cream, and of course lots of butter. Warm, round and golden blini are a symbol of the sun. Ancient Russians actually believed that by eating a pancake they were getting part of the suns life.
Масленица - это один из наиболее популярных праздников в России. Он имеет языческое происхождение и знаменует окончание зимы и преветствует приход весны. Русские блины - очень важны во время празднования масленицы. Ими угощают друзей и членов семьи на протяжении всей недели. Блины едят с вареньем, сметаной и, конечно же, со сливочным маслом. Теплые, круглые и золотистые блины символизируют солнце. В Древней Руси верили, что поедая блины люди получают часть солнечной жизни.
