Winter holidays are shorter than summer ones. They begin at the end of December and last about two weeks. It is so nice to have a rest from school.
During winter holidays we celebrate the New Year’s Eve and Christmas. There are New Year parties for children at schools and theatres. Cinemas show children films and cartoons.
It is usually very cold in winter, but frost and snow can’t keep children indoors. It’s so great to go skiing down a hill. Boys like to play hockey on the ice. Many children go to the skating-rinks to skate. Small children play snowballs and make snowmen, or ride on the sledges happily.
When the weather is bad, I stay at home and watch TV. There is always something interesting on during winter holidays. Sometimes my friends come to see me and we play computer games or listen to music. There is also more time for reading, drawing, making model planes and other hobbies.
Holidays pass quickly and soon it’s time to go to school again. 

Hi, Mary! How are you? I was on the island of Zakynthos, which is in Greece for a week now I have been working with the project for the conservation of sea turtles as a volunteer. Every day at dawn, along with my team, we watched the nests and yaitsami. Yesterday we patrolled beach and told the tourists about the turtles. We have seen some spectacular sunrises! This work brings me endless pleasure, because we help endangered animals. I hope that you too great summer. Tell us more about it on, I'm wondering where you are and what you do
