I would like to start with the idea that Russia is famous for its glorious holidays all over the world. Many tourists come to Russia to participate in celebrating those great events. We celebrate such public holidays as New Year, Victory Day, Easter. There are many other holidays but those are the most popular. I guess that we, Russians, like to celebrate. My favourite public holiday is New Year. I like it because all family celebrates that holiday together at home. New Year is celebrated in the night of the thirty first of December. After the speech of the President of the Russian Federation most of the families spend night walking in the streets. Also some families like mine prefer sitting at home. In summary, I should say that public holidays make me a happy person. I get a chance to meet my old relatives and friends.
