My favourite holiday is New Year. On this day Santa Clause comes in and gives me some presents. I go to the town's biggest square where we have our New Year Tree, and have some fun with my parents. I never go carol singing. I don't send any cards.
I usually eat some cake. On this day I wear a beautiful dress. I sometimes give presents to my parents. I decorate my New Year tree with baubles, tinsel and lights.
