Do you ever get that feeling that holiday time is wasted away? That there was so much to do, and yet you did nothing? And hell, I was so busy doing nothing that I'm more tired after the two-week break than before. (Well I'm slightly less drunk/hungover, however.)
Winter holidays are special too: we did travel a bit, we saw family and I got to spend time with my girlfriend too. But Christmas and New Year are only two days- let's make it four for preparation/trips/all-nighters. And yet they consume all my free holiday time! With their decorations, celebrations, and general mood of festiveness, I can't get myself to do anything.
