A new year without a snow The day after tomorrow is the beginning of New Year. When i was a child, i loved this holiday and thought that it is magic (probably as any child). Later, being a first-year student, i started to feel some disappointment. Because i kept waiting for a miracle on every beginning of New Year, but often there was no miracles at all. So soon i realized i don't understand all this new-year-hysteria. So much people are running everywhere to buy a bunch of gifts (sometimes absolutely useless), spending much money on restorans, a lot of food, new outfits, alcohol etc. And they all obsessed with the idea to don't sleep all night and to have fun - because the beginning of New Year determines how they will spend all this year. Personally i haven't ever wanted to spend all year being drunk and without a sleep:) And i always thought that's very weird to have fun by calendar. But that's all gone, i realized later that i can make my own choice how to meet a New Year, to sleep all night long or to hang on the phone with my those friends who are not with me now, or to party insanely, or walk with my family on the holiday streets, making my own miracle in my every choice. Now i relate to this holiday calmly. And this time i even miss this nice New-Year-Hysteria, because it's fun and it has so much of energy! I miss it this time, because there is no snow here at all and no holiday mood. Chrismas Trees look so weird under this endless rain in this long-drawn november. I understand that somewhere in California snow falls never, but that is California:) Oh my God, i miss a snow!!!=) I hope the winter will begin in January, finally:) Do you feel a holiday mood?

A new year without a snow

The day after tomorrow is the beginning of New Year. When I was a child, I loved this holiday and thought that it is magic (probably as any child). Later, being a first-year student, I started to feel some disappointment, because I kept waiting for a miracle at the every beginning of every New Year, but often there were no miracles at all. So soon I realized I don't understand all this new-year-hysteria. So many people are running everywhere to buy a bunch of gifts (sometimes absolutely useless), spending much money on restaurants, a lot of food, new outfits, alcohol etc. And they all obsessed with the idea to not sleep all night and to have fun - because the beginning of New Year determines how they will spend all this year. Personally, I haven't ever wanted to spend all year being drunk and without a sleep:) And I always thought that's very weird to have fun by calendar.

[Good job.  Remember that the pronoun 'I' is always capitalized.  Here in Georgia (U.S.), I almost never see snow anyway.]

The day after tomorrow is the beginning of New Year's Eve. When I was a child, I loved this holiday and, like many children, thought that it is was magic. Later, being a first-year student, I started to feel some disappointment. Because I kept waiting for a miracle on every beginning of New Year's Day, but often there was were no miracles at all. So Soon I realized I don't did not understand all this the New Year's Eve hysteria. So many people are running everywhere to buy a bunches of gifts (sometimes absolutely useless), spending much a lot of money on resturants, a lot of food, new outfits, alcohol, etc. And They are all obsessed with the idea to don't sleep of staying up all night and to having fun, because the beginning of the new year determines how they will spend all this the whole year. Personally, I haven't ever wanted to spend all year being drunk and without a sleep:) tired, and I always thought that it was very weird to have schedule fun by the calendar. 

But that's all gone was before. Now I realize later that I can make my own choices on how to meet a celebrate New Years Eve; to sleep all night long, hang on the phone with my those friends, who are not with me, to party insanely, or walk with my family on the holiday streets making my own miracles. in my every choice. Now I relate to this holiday calmly. And this time I even miss this nice the New Year's Eve hysteria because it's fun, and it has so much of energy! I also miss it this time because there is no snow here at all, and no holiday mood. Chrismas Trees look so weird under this endless rain in this long-drawn November. I understand that somewhere in California snow never falls never, but that is California. 
Oh my God, I miss a the snow! I hopehwinter will finally begin in January. finally
