Answer 1

Dear Andrew,  

Thank you for your letter. It was great to hear from you.

You asked me about Mother's Day. Well, I think it is a great holiday. I know how difficult it is to find a good present for mother. Mother’s Day in Russia is celebrated every year in November. People give their mothers different gifts and flowers. As for me, I usually give my mum some handmade things, such as a shopping-bag or an oven mitten. Our favourite family holidays are birthdays, Christmas, New Year and Easter. Our family enjoys time we spend together.  

Best wishes,

Answer 2

Dear Andrew,

I hope this letter finds you well. It was delightful to hear about your plans for Mother's Day, or as you call it, Mothering Sunday. Your surprise holiday and the special menu sound like wonderful ideas to show your love and appreciation for your Mum. I'm sure she will cherish the thoughtful present you've prepared for her as well.

In Russia, Mother's Day is also celebrated, but it falls on a different date compared to the UK or the USA. In Russia, Mother's Day is celebrated on the last Sunday of November. It's a day dedicated to honoring and expressing gratitude to mothers for their love and care. Families often gather together to spend quality time with their moms and present them with gifts or flowers to show their affection. Just like in the UK, the main idea is to make the mothers feel loved and appreciated.

When it comes to gifts for my own Mum, it varies depending on her interests and preferences. Sometimes, I give her a beautiful bouquet of flowers or a thoughtful personalized gift like a photo album filled with family memories. Other times, I opt for something practical that she might need or enjoy, such as a book by her favorite author or a kitchen gadget if she likes cooking.

As for other holidays we celebrate as a family, there are several significant ones in Russia. New Year's Eve is one of the most important and widely celebrated holidays. It's a time when families come together, exchange gifts, and enjoy festive meals. Another major holiday is Victory Day, which commemorates the end of World War II. Families often participate in parades and pay tribute to veterans. We also celebrate Orthodox Christmas and Easter with religious services and traditional meals.

I hope this answers your questions about how Mother's Day is celebrated in Russia and the kinds of gifts I usually give to my Mum. It's heartwarming to know how much effort you and your Dad are putting into making your Mum's day special. I'm sure she will be overjoyed with the surprise holiday and the thoughtful gestures you've planned.

Wishing you all a fantastic and memorable Mother's Day!

Warmest regards,
