2 New Year’s The first holiday of the year is New Year’s Day. People see the new year in at midnight on the 31 st of December. They greet the new year with champagne and listen to the Kremlin chimes beating 12 o’clock.

3 Christmas A renewed holiday in our country is Christmas. It is celebrated on the 7 th of January. It’s a religious holiday and a lot of people go to church services on that day.

4 St. Valentine’s Day St. Valentine’s Day is celebrated 14 February. People send special cards to someone they love. Usually they don’t sign their names. The person who gets the card has to guess who sent it.

5 “Men’s Day” Non-official “Men's Day ” is the 23d of February, it is a public holiday called “The Homeland Defender’s ”. All men in Russia are liable for call-up (including reservists), so they all are celebrities. On this day women usually give men small gifts.

6 “Women’s Day” On the 8 th of March we celebrate Women’s Day when men are supposed to do everything about the house and cook all the meals. This is pretty nice – at least once a year women can take a break and forget about all those dishes, cooking, kids, take a magazine and relax on a coach.

7 Easter People give each other chocolate eggs on Easter Sunday. The eggs are usually hollow and have sweets inside.

8 April Fool’s Day April Fool’s Day or All Fool’s Day is the first of April. The fun of the holiday is to play silly but harmless jokes on family members and friends. The victim of these jokes is called an April fool.

9 Day of Labour The 1 st of May is the Day of Labour. During Soviet time were huge demonstrations on this day, as everybody was obliged to show his loyalty to the state; now only communist’s organize meetings on this date.
