There are many national holidays in Russia, when people all over the country do not work have special celebrations. The major holidays are: New Year’s Day, Women’s Day, May Day, Victory Day and Independence Day. The first holiday of the year is New Year’s Day. People see the New Year in at midnight to the 31st of December. They greet the New Year with champagne and listen to the Kremlin chimes beating 12 o’clock. There are a lot of New Year traditions in Russia. In every home there is a New Year tree glittering with colored lights and decorations.
