I spent these winter holidays excellent. 2, 3 предложения правильно. The brightest day for me was, of course, the 31st of December. Since the morning there was the holiday atmosphere. The smell of tangerines mixed with the smell of spruce and it was the real smell of New Year. At midnight all members of my family were making a wish without telling it - according to the legend we should not say it, because it would not come true. Almost every day I spent with my friends. After a few days of New year, my sister came to us with her husband and daughter. Then the guests left and that meant the end of the holidays. Therefore I started to revise the passed material, learn poems and read new texts. В предпоследнем предложении нужно заменить "weather kept winter" на "the weather was wintery". I spent my free time with relatives, friends, visited interesting places and made my study better.
