I spent this winter vacation in the city. Vacation some days before New year has begun, and it seemed to me that they will go very long. Before the Newest year a lot of snow dropped out that gave to winter, especially, fantastic look. New year we met houses by all family. And though I don't trust in fairy tales any more, I wanted some miracle or magic. And here it has occurred!Or rather, it was strange accident. That day when on the eve of a holiday mother long pottered in kitchen, and we with the father decorated a Christmas tree, have suddenly called a door. We waited for the grandmother with the grandfather and therefore I have run to open a door. Has looked in a peephole and hasn't believed the eyes. Stood the real Father Frost in a red coat behind a door and with a huge beard, and nearby the Snow Maiden with a blond braid. Why I have thought at once real because last time it was unsuccessfully disguised father. All was simpler, than could be. Father Frost and the Snow Maiden were actors who were mistaken the apartment, but I nevertheless have received a magic candy.
The first January days of winter vacation were solar and very frosty. These days was great to walk on the street and play various winter games entertainments. However, it wasn't succeeded to build a snowman because in such frosts snow was loose and not so sticky. After such cheerful walks, especially, it was pleasant to appear houses where I was waited by a hot mother's lunch. And evenings we with the father read books and played board games that it was much more interesting than the computer.
In one of days of winter vacation we all family have visited circus. Frankly speaking, not really it was pleasant to me because it was a pity for animals. In other day together with mother went to theater to a performance for school students, he was very interesting and absolutely not dull. Here so I have spent winter vacation which though not such long as summer, but saturated and interesting. So now it is necessary to have patience and to wait for spring and summer.
