I love the time before the New Year. I like to walk and choose gifts. Sometimes I choose a gift, sometimes a person says what he wants to receive. I also like to send congratulated postcards to friends.
I planned to celebrate this New Year in the Palace Square but I got sick. Therefore, I celebrated at home with my mother. We cooked salads, desserts. We watched comedies after midnight.
I received as a gift several books that I wanted.
During the holidays I had a good rest. I walked with friends, went to the cinema, went to the museum.
At home, I learned how to make a chocolate fondant (this is dessert).
After the holidays, I plan to return to sports and language learning.

I love the time before the New Year. - this is fine, but usually English speakers will casually refer to this time as New Year's, as in New Year's Eve.

I received several books that I wanted as gifts.- Changed to natural phrasing and gift to gifts to agree with books. You could probably also say that you received several books as a singular gift, which implies that you were given one big collection of books as one item, but that usage is definitely more casual.
During the holidays I had a good rest. I walked with friends, went to the cinema and to the museum.- If you want to say a list of things you did, you don't have to repeat a verb.

Good job! You have a good grasp of English, but there are some natural phrasing changes I made that may be helpful for you. If you have any questions please let me know!

Just a few small corrections, you may be talking about Christmas cards rather than celebration postcards. A postcard is one flat card whereas a Christmas card is usually a folded card which is sent in an envelope.
