One day of the life in Ukraine

One day of my life.
I’d like to describe you an amazing evening on December, 13. On this day, the Ukrainians celebrate one of the most important religious holidays: St. Andrews Day. This holiday has a few traditions: unmarried girls tell fortunes on their future husbands, and the Ukrainian women make varenyks with the surprises inside. Yesterday’s afternoon I was  with my family. My mother  prepared dishes of  Ukrainian national cuisine for supper, necessarily including varenyks. What's about suprises inside varenyks? My mom put notes in some varenyks: a car, success, a new flat, strong health and so on. I found two notes inside my varenyks : happiness and strong health. I hope, that it will come true in the coming year! Maybe, it was the best supper in my life!
