My Holidays Reside Elsewhere

in Hive Learners21 hours ago

Hello everyone. A very good evening to you all. The holiday season is upon us. By now, most of you are already enjoying your holidays as work and school are in recess. At least and most countries across the world. But if you are not living in a Christian majority place, it might just be only a couple of days. Nonetheless, an international holiday is always appreciated, because you can see people around the world enjoying these few days carefree of their regular activities. Also the shopping for their loved ones and themselves and going out with friends and family. Enjoying and having fun is all part of the experience. And then there's the old human nature of simply seeing happier stuff makes you happy. So obviously seeing people enjoy it would make us happy as well.

As for me, being a Muslim, my holiday resides elsewhere. And I don't get any holidays in this part of the year. I only get a day off for Christmas as an international holiday, and that's about it. But still most of my life. I've enjoyed a break during this period. In my country it's the winter season during this time and schools were always over by the first half of December. So the second half I always enjoyed an extended vacation, before starting class again every January. But life took a turn when I started university. No, there's no year end vacation for me. There are vacations but they just don't add up with the time. Every single time when I have a break of a few days, my peers and family have their work and school going on, and when they have a break, my classes go on. And that has been the case this year as well. I am stranded being the only one who is still occupied with classes, and exams, while everyone else is having a more relaxed time. Still I'll try to make some enjoyment for myself during the couple of days of vacation that I have. I'd like to go. And maybe eat something good on New year's Eve, or someday around that time, whenever I get the time, if I get the time.

But then again I like watching people. I like watching them go about their lives so the Jolly mindset they would have during this New year period, is something I'd enjoy watching too. So I'm looking forward to it. And happy holidays to everyone of you.
