Well done, Kanako!

Your second sentence is a tough one, Doris! But I don't think you've added a dependent clause.

If we rephrase it as "Thank goodness [THAT] the Christmas and New year's celebrations are over for another year" -- it appears that you've made the original sentence into a dependent clause!

Amanda seems to have the same thing in sentence 1 and sentence 3.

I think Sentence 1 can be rephrased as:

"It's ok, [BECAUSE] the Christmas and New Year's celebrations are over for another year.

This would make the second clause dependent.
