There are many national holidays in Russia, when people all over the country do not work and have special celebrations. The major holidays are: New Year's Day, Women's Day, May Day, Victory Day, and Independence Day. The first holiday of the year is New Year's Day. People see the new year in at midnight on the 31st of December. They greet the new year with champagne and listen to the Kremlin chimes beating 12 o'clock. There are lots of New Year traditions in Russia. In every home there is a New Year tree glittering with coloured lights and decorations. Children always wait for Father Frost to come and give them a present. Many people consider New Year's Day to be a family holiday. But the young prefer to have New Year parties of their own. A renewed holiday in our country is Christmas. It is celebrated on the 7th of January. It's a religious holiday and a lot of people go to church services on that day.
Usually my parents go to supermarket once a week. And sometimes i go with them. Because I want to help them. First we buy dairy products ( молочные продукты). After that we buy spices ( специи ) for food. Then we bought other food. And my mom also buy meat (мясо). And for me it is not very pleasant ( для меня это не приятно). Because the raw meat smells awful ( потому что сырое мясо пахнет ужасно). And at the end I ask my mom to buy me something sweet. And this is a gift for me. I love go to the supermarket with my parents.
