All holidays and festivals serve to meet specific social and psychological needs of the people of the country. Holidays can be religious and secular, national, local and official. The dates that are memorable to every Russian citizen are Victory Day, May Day, Constitution Day, Women’s Day, and Day of Sovereignty of the Russian Federation. These are national holidays; people do not work on these days. The most important date in Russia is Victory Day. Observed on May 9, it commemorates the Victory of the Russian troops over the Nazi invaders. On that day the veterans meet in the parks and squares of the cities to recollect the days of war and exchange greetings. Wartime music is played everywhere. At night fireworks are let off. May Day is also very popular in our country. This is the day of friendship and support.

My favourite holiday is New Year's Day. The coming of New Year is celebrated with a New Year Tree, presents, Grandpa Frost, European Santa Claus, and a hearty meal. In our country New Year is toasted in champagne at family gatherings. New Year’s feasts are widely covered by mass media. Our family prepares for this holiday beforehand. My father buys and brings home a beautiful New Year tree. I like to decorate the New Year tree with toys, little coloured lights, sweets and a beautiful star at the top. Our relatives come to see us at eleven o'clock in the evening. At twelve o'clock we are sitting at the table. We are glad to see the New Year in. It's a pleasant moment to get presents on the New Year's Day. I usually get many nice, useful things from my parents and relatives. We don't go to bed till morning: we watch TV, dance, eat tasty things and have a lot of fun. I enjoy this holiday very much.
Recently new national holidays have been introduced in our country. These are Christmas and Easter. Christmas and Easter are both religious holidays. One of the renewed holidays in Russia is a Day of Accord and Reconciliation. The holiday is celebrated in honour of liberation of Moscow from the Polish-Lithuanian aggressors. In 2004 the holiday became state, and in 2005 it was celebrated by all country. Since 2005 the tradition to lay flowers to a monument to Minin and Pozharsky on Red Square was established. It’s the day to unite the nation and honour the traditions of our ancestors.
My birthday is my favourite holiday too. I usually invite my friends to the party. We listen to some modern music, dance and have a special holiday dinner. Then comes the time of the birthday cake with candles and I must blow them out. I enjoy my birthday parties very much. I always receive many presents and I like to unpack them.
