Holidays

Dear Meg,

Thanks for you last letter, when you wrote about Valintine's Day in England. It was so interesting to read about yours traditions. I'd like to tell you about my favourite tradition.

Birthday of Jesus Christ is one of the major Christian holidays. At the heart of the holiday - the biblical story of the birth in Bethlehem, the head ofthe Saviour Jesus Christ, the Virgin Mary.
Holidays is celebrated by Catholics, Orthodox and Protestants.

Christmas is celebrated on the 24th, 25th, 26th of December. On 25 December I go with my father and grandmother to Estonian relatives. On that day we meet at big company once a year. In big family we speak about all what happend with as, listen music and speak about future. We eat traditional food: bloodly sausages, mulgikapsad. On 26 December I go with my family to Russian relatives. On that day we send presents each other. There we speak about all what happend with as too. But we don't eat traditional food. With eat only salets, meat, vegatables. I play with my small niece and talk with my sister. I see their rarely, because we don’t have time for metting.

I’m looking forward to hearing from you.

Best wishes,

George
