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.
