But it's the same person. Father Frost in Russia comes I believe on New Year's Eve. Whereas Father Christmas doesn't come to the children on New Year's Eve. On New Year's Eve we don't have such a big celebration. We usually have a party, maybe meet up with friends at somebody's house, maybe go out to a pub for the evening, but we don't give gifts usually on New Year's Eve. Sergei: I think if the Russians want to describe what they eat during these holidays, they will use several salads: Olivye... Jenny: We call it Russian salad in my family. Olivye is a potato salad, isn't it? So we call it a Russian potato salad. Sergei: And "vinegret"... Jenny: And this is a salad with beetroot. But we don't have really had this salad. My sister calls this Russian salad, as well. We don't really have this salad. The Christmas dinner is really the final event. And for some people it may be one or two o'clock in the afternoon. For some people it may be in the evening or in mid-afternoon. Different families celebrate in different ways. Mince pies are a small pie. We eat them a Christmas. And inside there is a mixture of raisins and sugar. So we call it mincemeat, but it isn't meat. It is fruit. Mulled wine is warm wine with spices. And I think you have it in Russia, too. Глинтвейн. I think people drink more on New Year's Eve. If there's a party they drink a lot. Because it's a family day. Again it maybe depends on the family. Some families do drink quite a lot. They drink with the meal wine with the meal. They might have champagne with the meal or a fizzy wine. Some families may continue to drink into the afternoon. I think it's very individual to each family. They do probably drink more than usual, yes. After the meal we open our presents. So they wait until lunch time, till after lunch. And then after lunch we've opened the presents, then we play games, we chat. The elderly relatives sleep in a chair. And the day slowly winds to a close. * * * * Курс английского языка для начинающих http://4flaga.ru
