at the end of december, every student in russia passes tests and exams. i am in college and on december 28 i started my vacation. the whole of russia celebrates the new year very widely. each house has a christmas tree, the streets and shop windows are beautifully decorated. 31 numbers in each house the festive table is laid the closest people gather together, all give gifts to each other, and children wait for a miracle from santa claus. in europe, the new year is celebrated not as widely as in russia because there is the main holiday-catholic christmas-december 25. in russia, christmas-january 7, usually christmas in russia is celebrated by believers, and in the circles of relatives and closest people. i love new year holidays very much. this is the time when you can walk around the city and enjoy the beauty of moscow. i love spending time outdoors, walking in the park, to ski or on skates or on a cheesecake. 14 january, my break is over
