My important holiday is Christmas. I'm Orthodox. My Christmas celebrates on January 7th (It is December 25th in old style). It is a great date for a lot of people in Russia. This holiday is great and important for me. Every time I wish to celebrate this holiday in my best way. Before Christmas time I try to clear out my house and my mind. I ask myself what useful and interesting things I made for my family, my friends and others. I'm very happy when I help others. In these days I think about some of my mistakes in my life and I try to be better. I like Christmas.

I have in St. Petersburg the big collection of icons. It is the great value for my family.

I like beautiful, special decorations for this holiday. I like when the celebration's tablewares are from crystal and silver. On this day I cook special and delicious food. Our spirits go to God.

In my new country I like the American traditions. I do all for the best celebration. I say, "God bless America!"
