One day in Russian life

Winter time starts in Russia around November. It's snowing, and the temperature is -10C to -15C. But this year we have a natural anomaly - no snow, no frost. Sometimes the temperature is above zero. The great holiday for every Russian is New Year's (31 December - 1 January). But New Year without snow is not a good holiday! Because in the winter we can build snowmen, slide down from icy hills and have lots of other fun.

So are you waiting for the celebration of Christmas or New year's?

Hi Irina,

   Great job on this writing! There are almost no mistakes, and some of the changes I made are only to make it sound more native. That's crazy that it's so warm this year! Where I live is very cold right now. Maybe I can send you some snow? ;) To answer your question, in my opinion, I think Christmas is probably more popular in the US, but New Year's is also a very festive and fun holiday.

   Keep up the excellent work! Let me know if you have any questions. I hope you have a terrific New Year's!

Best,

Julie
