New Year is a holiday which everyone in Russia celebrates exactly the same way. People in other countries may celebrate it too but I know that in Russia, everyone makes huge preparations! First, everyone dashes to buy a perfect Christmas tree. Then they decorate it with lights and beautiful ornaments. After that, people decorate the inside of their homes with fancy garlands and Happy New Year signs. I love the way they celebrate New Year in Russia.
I also like New Year celebrations because there are loads of good food. You can eat all the candy you want (because no one is paying attention or minds that). This year, we were in Tahoe with my best friend, her family, her aunt, her cousins and her grandparents. We had some friends come over because they were also in that area. We ate and talked until midnight...
At midnight, every single person, young and old, chorused, "Happy New Year!" Then we clinked glasses and the kids drank sparkling cider while the parents had champagne. After that, we children went upstairs and talked. We talked a lot about school and other stuff. At three o'clock in the morning, all of us finally went to bed. I fell asleep in five seconds. That was how I spent New Year's Eve.
Spending New Year at Tahoe was fun, maybe even more fun than usual, at a friend's house with a bunch of noisy kids playing around. I had a very exciting time waiting for the last hour, minute and second of 2010. All New Year's eves are are exciting and special but this one was especially fun. New Year is my favorite holiday.
