New Year Holiday in Iran
Every year, around three months after christmas, the new year begins in Iran. 3,2,1 and "Happy new year"! At this moment, all people which is familiar together such as: friends, family member and etc, kiss each other and say this sentence and dream wish each other success and good healthiness in the new year. Then they sit around a tablecloth linen called "haft seen" and pray to have an excellent life in the new year. Some people which is who are older give some money to the children as a gift when and the holiday starts, and it takes lasts for 13 days. At this holiday, which is named "Norooz", people usually recreate [play sports? celebrate? go out?] more and more than all any other time of in the year, they go to their relatives' and friends' homes, say tell jokes, eat marzipan , chocolate and some oyhrt things like these, play together, and have a great time more and more. At Norooz, I believe, Iran is one of the greatest places in of all the world for all people. I hope to see you at next Norooz in Iran.
Have a healthy and successful life.

We don't really use the word "recreate" in English, though "recreation" is a word used to describe sports and other athletic activities.
