New Year is the best of holydays. At New Year’s Eve always appears this strange expectation of something big, new and great. Joyful atmosphere is all around. Everybody is busy picking nice Christmas trees, presents and feasts for holyday table. Preparations for this celebration are starting early. Everything begins with general cleaning. Than rooms are decorating with beautiful toys, garlands, holiday lights and candles. But most beautiful decorations are New Year and Christmas wreaths with conifer branches, bright ribbons and figures of angels. It is best when whether at New Year is cold and snowy. Colorful lights are flashing in all windows. Everybody is celebrating and having fun. Apparently because New Year is mutual celebration it is so much fun to celebrate it.

I would really like to visit the Olympics and root for the Russian team. My biggest dream is that the next winter Olympics will be held in our village. Then we would have built a huge stadium, ski trampoline, ice rink. All the famous athletes from different countries would have flown to the Olympics and saw our beautiful village. Our class could participate in the Olympics and carry the Olympic flame. But this is only a dream.
My parents and I will just watch the Olympics on TV. It's a pity that the Olympics are held only once in four years.
