New Year

As you know, I live in Ukraine, in the country with a lot of traditions, that is why I would like to tell you about our winter celebrations. In winter we have 3 big holidays: New Year, Christmas and New Year by old style.

New Year is the biggest and very important celebration for Ukrainian people.  We begin our celebrations the 31st of December. As a rule, we meet New Year with family or with the best friends. All of us decorate tree and flat and cook different dishes, such as: salad with crab sticks or Olivier - the most popular salad in Ukraine and cook this dish is the very big tradition. Our people don’t understand how other people can meet New Year without Olivier. Frankly, I don’t like this salad, because I hate canned green peas, which is in the recipe, but my mum always cooks this salad and sometimes forces me, that I eat this beautiful dish. Then we follow old year and wait chiming clock. I very like make a wish during chiming clock. For me it’s beautiful and romantic…. Then we eat dishes, which cook earlier. At last, we see TV (comedies or New Year’s programs or films). As for me, I like watch 3 parts of New Year’s film, which is called: “Home Alone”. It’s my personally tradition. Then we go to the bed. In the morning we go to the tree and we are looking for present, which puts under the tree Did Moroz. And we are very fun…

Like this, Ukrainian people meet New Year!
