My most loved and memorable day in the year is the New Year’s Eve when I am full of an unusual feeling that something joyful and magical is going to happen. In the festive atmosphere, everyone is busy buying a beautiful Christmas tree, various fruits, sweets, and preparing gifts for the loved ones.
We begin preparing for the holiday in advance. We clean the house, decorate the Christmas tree, decorate our room with balls, garlands, and beautiful toys. Mom always cooks dishes for the holiday table, something special and very tasty. I try not to oversleep the moment when the New Year arrives with the chiming clock upon whose final blow fireworks begin cracking in the streets. They may last for an hour! We usually have fun, hold various competition, we dance and sing. It's a real fun!
It is especially good when there is frosty snowy weather on the New Year's Eve. There are flashing colored lights in the windows of every house. People are celebrating the coming of the New Year and having fun, as it is a holiday for everyone.
