English words (New Year Vocabulary) will help you talk about how you are going to celebrate the New Year. And here is a short text in English about how the New Year is celebrated.
Every country has its national holidays, but there are also holidays that are common for many countries. New Year's Day is the first holiday of each New Year. In Russia it is the most popular holiday, but in the West people pay more attention to Christmas.
New Year is always connected with our new hopes and dreams. Everyone hopes that next new year will be better than the last one. As usual people make New Year Resolutions, they promise to start doing morning exercises, to eat healthier food. Unfortunately people don’t always keep them.
The celebration of this holiday begins on New Year’s Eve, that is, on the 31st of December. At home people stay up until midnight and much later. They light colored lamps on New Year Tree and have late dinner with champagne. Sometimes they just watch TV or go out for late walk. Everybody gets presents.
In Scotland New Year's Eve is called Hogmanay. Also the Scottish have the custom of First-Footing.
Most differences in celebrating New Year are connected with a meal or special food. For example, in Switzerland special bread, rich in butter, eggs and raisin is baked and a roasted goose is cooked. In Spain there is a custom to eat 12 grapes at midnight. In Greece some people play cards believing that they will be lucky the whole year if they win. In Russia the traditional dish for the holiday is “Russian salad” (Olivier).

Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer
Had a very shiny nose
And if you ever saw it
You would even say it glows.

Used to laugh and call him names
They never let poor Rudolph
Join in any reindeer games.
Then one foggy Christmas Eve,
Santa came to say.
"Rudolph with your nose so bright,
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?
Then how the reindeer loved him
And they shouted out with glee
"Rudolph the red nosed reindeer
You"ll go down in history!"

About the Advent wreath
An Advent wreath is a traditional decoration made from fir branches in homes during the pre-Christmas season. On the first of four Sundays of the Nativity Fast (Advent), the first candle is lit, next week– second, etc., according to the number of candles.
The Advent wreath was invented by Lutheran theologian Johann Hinrich Wichern. His children constantly asked when Christmas would come. So that they could count down the days remaining until Christmas, in 1839 Wichern made a wreath from an old wooden wheel, decorated with nineteen small red and four large white candles. Every morning one small candle was lit in this wreath, to which a large candle was added on Sundays.
The Christmas wreath is endowed with different meanings. The addition of light in the wreath symbolizes the increasing anticipation of the birth of Christ. Four candles is associated with the globe and cardinal directions. The circle symbolizes eternal life, which resurrection gives, greenery is the color of life, and candles are light. Advent wreaths are often decorated with three purple and one pink candles, in accordance with the liturgical colors of Catholic services for Advent.
