Dear Helen,
Today I'd like to tell you how we celebrate New Year' Eve.
On the 31st of December my Dad and I decorate the New Year tree. My Mum cooks a special New Year cake. Our relatives come to our place and at 10 p.m. we sit down at the table to see the Old Year off. There are a lot of tasty things on the table. All are merry. We joke, tell interesting stories and have fun. Then we switch on TV and listen to the Kremlin Chimes. At 12 sharp we see the New Year in. We say to each other "Happy New Year!!! "Then we go outside to see the fireworks.When we return home we find our presents under the New Year's tree. Last time I got a new mobile phone. I was happy.
That's all for now.
Keep in touch,
Mikhail
