A holiday is a day set aside by custom or by law on which normal activities, especially business or work including school, are suspended or reduced. Generally, holidays are intended to allow individuals to celebrate or commemorate an event or tradition of cultural or religious significance. Holidays may be designated by governments, religious institutions, or other groups or organizations. The intention of a holiday was typically to allow individuals to tend to religious duties associated with important dates on the calendar. In most modern societies, however, holidays serve as much of a recreational function as any other weekend days or activities. 6 school holiday activities to beat the boredom: When the long awaited school holiday starts, kids are a bundle of joy and excitement at the prospect of what fun it will bring.We’re already only a few days into the school holidays and no doubt the choruses of “I’m bored” may have kicked in.
