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.

Add a phrase: In Canada, the Christmas and New year's celebrations are over for another year.
Add a dependent clause: When school begins, the Christmas and New year's celebrations are over for another year.
Independent clause: The Christmas and New Year's celebrations are over for another year and school begins again
On January 5, the Christmas and New year's celebrations are over for another year.
Dependent clause: The Christmas and New year's celebrations are over for another year, thank goodness.
Independent clause: The Christmas and New year's celebrations are over for another year, and I am ready for the next holiday.
1-It's ok, the Christmas and New Year's celebrations are over for another year.
2-I the meantime, the Christmas and New Year's celebrations are over for another year.
3-I am upset the Christmas and New Year's celebrations are over for another year.
Well done, Kanako!

This would make the second clause dependent.
