Dear Meg!
Thanks a lot for your letter. It was so interesting to hear about celebration of Saint Valentine's day. You asked me about my favorite tradition. So i tell you about it. This is very interesting and old tradition. I tell you about Halloween.
Halloween is celebrated on the 31st of October. On that day people have or go to Halloween parties and play Halloween games. My favorite game is 'bobbing for apples'. In this game, apples float in large tub of water or hang from a string, and players try to catch an apple in their mouth without using their hands. The main symbol of the Halloween is jack-o-lantern. People hollow out a turnip, cut holes in the shell to make the eyes, nose and mouth, and place a lighted candle inside it. This is my favorite part of the Halloween.))) In that holiday people dress up in costumes to go 'trick-or-treating' to house in their neghbour-hood.
Also in that day is Zombie Walk, when people dress up like a zombie and walking in the streets.)))
I like this holiday very much, because I like dress up in costumes and cut pumpkin. =O
I'm waiting for your letter.
