Holidays

Last night was the Christmas Eve. The streets were ablaze with lights, the crowded people were everywhere. The restaurants, bars and cinemas were overfull. It was the most important holiday of western countries. But now, it is more popular in China.
There was a big Christmas Tree in the garden of our apartment. It was decorated with plenty of tinsels and baubles. Santa Claus stood by the tree with a big stocking. I like the big star on the top of the tree. I like Santa Claus. I like the stocking because there is a lot of candy in it. Some of the children twittered when they passed by. Even the old granny knew about Christmas now.
I wonder why people are interested in Christmas? I think it is not concerned with the race, the faith, or the country. It is a Great Harmonious World! Most important, it is a good excuse for celebration. Life is hard. We need the good things to make our life more colorful.
Today is Christmas Day, and 2013 will coming soon. I wish all of you Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

This is very well written with very few minor errors. Nice job!
