Dear Cathleen,
Thanks for your letter. I'm always happy to hear from you. It's great that you are preparing for Halloween!
In your letter you ask me about holidays and festivals we have in Russia. Of course in my country people celebrate lots of holidays and fun festivals, for example, New Year, Victory Day and Maslenitsa. As for me, My favourite one is Maslenitsa as it is the end of winter and the begininng of spring. Also, it is very sunny festival, my mother usually makes pancakes during all this week. On Sunday my family and I always go to the fairy and have fun.
By the way, it's great that your pumpkin was voted the best in the neighbourhood. Was it really big? What was it decorated with? Did you grow it or buy?
That's all for now. Looking forward to hearing from you.
Best wishes,
Denis
