We have many holidays in Ukraine. First of all it is the New Year. It is nice and funny to
decorate the New Year Tree, to dance near it and to receive and give presents.
A week after the New Year day we celebrate Christmas. In Ukraine it is an old popular
holiday. In the morning children go from house to house, from flat to flat, sing traditional
holiday songs and wish everything good to the people they visit. The people give them
sweets, cakes, money.
The 8th of March is the Women’s Day. We give presents to our mothers, grandmothers,
teachers, sisters and girl-friends.
On the 1st of May we celebrate May Day.
On the 9th of May we have Victory Day. It is a great holiday. We say, “Thank you very much”
to old people who took part in the Great Patriotic War (1941-1945) and defended our
Motherland against the fascists.
On the 24th of August we celebrate Independence Day.
Each holiday is interesting in its way but all of them are good and merry.
