In our country there is a holiday women's day. This is celebrated on March 8. On this day, we decorate the house, dress up cute, and cook food while our lovely ladies (mothers) are resting. We always buy a huge bouquet of flowers the day before.After that, we usually visit relatives and put on a suit or dresses. In the evening, we stand on the street and watch the fireworks sometimes even launch ourselves. Then after that, we all sit down at the table for a big dinner, celebrate with the whole family and give gifts to our mothers, sisters and grandmothers. By the way, I forgot to say that we also send postcards and mini presents to our distant relatives via mail.
The last festival I went to was in our town. There were many balloons. It was a balloon festival in honor of balloon day. I was 10 at the time and I was thrilled about it. I begged my parents to take me there for a long time, and after a while they agreed. I had a great pleasure because my mother decided that this is not a festival but a restaurant of some cuisine. She didn't know where we were going and agreed to come with us. Fortunately, we all managed to get positive emotions. We even took a picture with the balloon monster!
