There are many holidays in the year. But I like the winter holiday. It is New Year. New Year is a very interesting and fantastic holiday. On this day streets are very mysterious. The weather is frosty and there is much snow in the street. It usually snows. People are getting ready to celebrate the holiday. Children help their parents. People buy presents for their nearest and dearest. Children prepare New Year presents for their friends and parents. At midnight families sit down at the table and begin to celebrate New Year.
