Dear [Name],

I wanted to tell you about a traditional holiday celebrated in Russia. Maslenitsa is a week-long festival marking the end of winter and the beginning of spring. It usually takes place in February or March. People prepare by making delicious pancakes called blinis and enjoying them with different fillings like caviar, sour cream, and jam. During Maslenitsa, families and friends come together to eat, dance, and play games to celebrate the arrival of warmer weather.

Best wishes,

[Your Name]
