Hi Bill,
My favourite festival is New Year. We celebrate it on 31 December and 1 January. It lasts two days. We put up decorations, have a big family dinner, wear nice clothes and watch fireworks at midnight. Sometimes we dance and sing songs too.
It is a special festival because everyone is happy and there is a wonderful праздничная atmosphere. I love it very much.
Bye for now,
[Your name]
