Salad or some salads are usually served with hot dishes from poultry, meat or fish. The most popular New Year's fruit are the tangerines. The smell of tangerines traditionally associates happy New Year. Usually tangerines are spread on a separate dish and put under a fur-tree or on a table as a desert.

  6. The holiday is celebrated together with the family, because how you’ll celebrate New Year, so you’ll spend all the year . At 12 o'clock, when clocks strike 12, all the menders of the family fill their glasses, and wish Happy New Year. In the morning you can find the great gifts under the Christmas tree!!!

The main attraction on Baptizing day is when we plunge into ice hole in the Ob river . Last year the temperature was -35 degrees Centigrate. A lot of families come to the river with their children to enjoy (!) this old tradition. And what about you?

  9. EASTER TIME Romania, IliaEpikhov, Belarus We celebrate Easter every spring, usually in April . Easter is very important for the people because it means Christ’s Rebirth. People prepare food and eggs for Easter. They paint eggs in many colours. Red eggs signify Christ’s blood. Women cook special traditional food, that is lamb and cakes. Om Easter Eve people go to church to take ’’light’’.

  10. On Easter Day, people visit each other and say ’’Happy Easter!’’ and ’’Christ is reborn!’’ . The symbol of Easter is the rabbit, who brings presents to good children. In some parts of the country boys use to go to the girls’ houses with a bottle of parfume to ’’water’’ the flowers who are in fact the girls in the house. The hostess of the house gives them drinks, cakes and eggs. They wish each other ’’Happy Easter!’’ Easter Time is a holiday of joy and happiness!

  11. DIWALI Prateek Bajaj, India My favorite holiday is Diwali. It is the festival of lights and is celebrated for the return of Lord Rama after his 14 years exile in the forests of India. After his return, lights were lighted and crackers were burst There was happiness everywhere. This is celebrated in the monthsof October or November (depending upon the Indian Calendar). We wear our Indian Traditional clothes on this occasion. People go to their relatives’ houses and exchange gifts.
