About my Christmas holiday plans

I like Christmas time. But I love waiting for Christmas more because something new happens every year. And our Chirstmas is going to be like last year Christmas. On Christmas Eve I‘m going to go to church at nine p.m. after family dinner with my parents and my aunt. I‘m going to come home late. I‘m going to go to bed late. I‘m going to wake up late. Next day I‘m going to go to the village, I‘m going to meet my brother and his family and we are going to have family lunch. The weather is going to be cold and wet. In the afternoon I‘m going to get home and to visit two old ladies at the old people centre what is in Joniškelio street. At home I‘m going to read Christmas poscards.

I need to send you a Christmas card!
One sentence to correct: ....at the old people's house which (kuris) is in Joniskelio street....

to cook - gaminti maistą visais būdais , nereikia sakyti to fry and to cook (= kepti ir gaminti valgyti). Kepti ir virti = to fry and to boil some food.

The baby Jesus is going to be born soon because Advent is now. This word means „coming". Advent lasts almost a month. It's the time of concentration and reflections. This time is mysterious. Christmas is ? very important feast for everyone. People are going to wait ? the Christmas. They are going to make special dishes. They are going to decorate houses. In the modern world people buy many gifts and give them to relatives. I try ? feel the spirit of the coming Christmas too. I'm going to buy gifts. I'm going to decorate the Christmas Tree. I'm going to make special food. I'm going to wait ? the guests. Christmas Eve is the evening before Christmas Day. That evening we are going to sit at the table. On the Lithuanian Eve ? Dinner Table there are Communion Wafers, Christmas Eve Cookies, cranberry kissel drink, fish, salads, apples, nuts, potatoes and so on... Before eating I'm going to tell a story which is known everyone and I'm going to remember ? last year. On Christmas Day we are going to take gifts from the Christmas Tree. We are going to have fun time. We're going to sit at the table too, but we're going to eat new food. And now we are dreaming about snowy winter days.

Wow, Janina, I love your comment! It is so good!
The question mark ? means (reiškia) that there is a word missing (trūkstamas)
Christmas - without 'the' (usually)
to wait + FOR
last year - praeitais metais (kada); THE last year - praeiti metai (kas)
I think it is better to say "to find gifts under the tree."
