My new year holidays

I like to choose and present gifts. I start to choose gifts long before New Year to have time to order what I need. At first I look for things in online marketplaces. If I don't find what I want to present, I will go to a mall. When I ordered some gifts, I went to the mall to buy other gifts. I've bought many different presents for my family. To tell the truth, I can't separate a special gift from nonspecial gifts. I choose all of them with love and I think that everything is special. I wrap presents in beautiful colored paper which was in different Christmas pictures. Almost all of the gifts lay under the Christmas tree for nearly a week. They created a festive atmosphere. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't snowy and we can't feel the spirit of the New Year the right way.

I and my boyfriend (it feels more natural to say 'My boyfriend and I' but I can't find any grammar rule that requires it) celebrated the holidays with my family. My boyfriend insisted that we open our presents after midnight. We started a new year, and then we opened our presents. It's a strange coincidence but we presented educational books to each other. Why did we do it? Firstly, my boyfriend is a pragmatic, and he gives gifts which are necessary things. Secondly, educational books are very expensive and their price makes them a good gift. Over and above, I don't wear jewelry and a book is the best gift. I'm pragmatic but not too much. On top of all that,l I presented him with a T-shirt with Star Wars and Darth Vader. It was to be cute when he had worn T-shirts during all of the holidays.

After New Year's day, we relaxed very well. (well is for adverbs, good is an adjective - search good vs well for details) We were in the cinema twice, unfortunately, we watched the Russian cartoons . We fried barbecue, cooked hot mulled wine and played board games. I think it was the best New Year in several years.
