Dear Santa,
My name is Irina. I’m from Russia. I live in Raduzhny.
I am eleven years old . I’m in class 5. I like to read,
dance and play computer games.
I’ve got a mother, father and little sister Margarita.
Our family is very friendly. We like to celebrate holidays.
New Year is our favourite festival. We decorate our flat
and Christmas tree every year. I believe in miracles and
look forward to come the magic New Year’s night.

3. But I know that in England Christmas is the most
important public holiday. It is celebrated on the 25th of
December. Every year a huge Christmas tree stands in
Trafalgar Square in London.
In England all the family is together on Christmas
Day. People have Christmas dinner. There is always a
turkey and Christmas pudding on the table.

4. Our English teacher has told us different interesting
stories about Christmas. I imagine a Christmas tree
which is glittering with lights and tinsel and colourful
stockings with gifts which are hanging near the
fireplace. I love getting presents! I like Christmas too!

5. Every year at the end of December we meet
Grandfather Frost and his granddaughter Snow Maiden.
Russian children write letters to them, learn a lot of
poems and songs about New Year by heart. I’m sure
that the British like to send letters to you, Santa. I know
that you haven’t got Snow Maiden but you’ve got such
helpers as gnomes, elves and reindeers.

6. I’d like to tell you the Christmas story.
Once upon a time there lived a very poor man. He
had three daughters. Girls couldn’t marry because they
were very poor. Once on Christmas Eve they washed
their stockings and hung up in front of the fireplace.
Santa Claus decided to help them and he put a piece of
gold in their stockings. After that the girls became rich
and they found their husbands.
That’s why English children hang up stockings in front
of the fireplace before Christmas night. In the morning
they find presents there.

7. I hope that you will fly to me, dear Santa at Christmas
night or New Year’s night. I have a dream about
iPhone. Will you give it to me?
Don’t forget about my little sister. She likes animals
and pets. My sister will be happy to get a puppy. Will
you give it to her?
I hope you will read my letter and my dream will be
carried out.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, dear Santa!
Best wishes,
Irina
