And I want to tell you about my winter holidays. I hope you would like to know about it! Every year I go to Finland with my family for my winter holidays. It’s December now and the weather is cold here. The white snowflakes are falling on the ground and the snow is sparkling under the lanterns light. Every day we help people to decorate their city with tinsel, lights and bright lanterns for New Year festival. Also I like shopping with my mum for New Year presents for our friends. Last three days of my holidays I usually spend on New Year festival. We sing and dance in a circle, go toboggan, make a snowman and play snowballs. But the most interesting part of the festival is a Parade. When Santa comes on 12-reindeers open-sleigh and brings presents for everyone. Also I’d like to visit Lapland where Santa lives. I’d like to know about your winter holidays. Where do you usually go? And what do you usually do? Write me back as soon as you can! Best wishes, Jane.
