Dear Andy,
Thank you for your letter.
Sorry, I haven’t written for so long. I was really busy with my exams.
As for Christmas, it used to
be very popular holiday in Russia but I can’t say that it is still popular
nowadays. So, usually there is no special preparation for it. We just sit round
the table and have an ordinary dinner but we always say to each other ”Merry
Christmas”! The Russians are fond of New Year holiday and it is celebrated in
every family!
I have to finish my letter because
I have promised my mum to dust the shelves.
Write back soon
Best wishes,
Misha
