Holidays to look forward to<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some people are fortunate enough to travel during holidays, and for some it is an escape from reality and for others from work. Holidays are a great way to celebrate and rest. There are universal holidays like Christmas and Easter, but some are different from country to country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Everyone wants a break every once in a while, and holidays are there to give people a break from work and other daily duties that they normally do. People need to unwind without any distractions after tiring work, and public holidays can dramatically boast a lot of things. They are also a way to promote a sense of unity and common will, for example, by remembering when the country gained independence, sacrifices in pivotal wars, and the rise and fall of important heroes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Originally, the term holiday was derived from “holy day,” meaning a day set aside for religious commemorations. In the modern day, it could either be a day of religious or circular commemoration. These holidays will normally fall on the approximate dates of those ancient festivals. For example, in history, Jesus is believed to have been born in late summer; hence, Christmas is celebrated in December, when it is summer in most parts of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
