I love school holidays! I love that for two glorious weeks three times a year you can just forget about homework, and clarinet lessons, basketball practice and indoor soccer games. I love that you can have dinner at 7pm at night and go to sleep at 11pm.
Even though its winter here in Australia, school holidays are still great and the relaxed lifestyle of the holidays always inspires you to do so much more. These school holidays we have been catching up with friends that our everyday hectic timetable does not normally leave us much time to catch up with. We have been trampolining, we’ve been to the movies, we’ve had a few nights out at restaurants and we have seen our team reign victorious at the football.
In fact it hardly feels like we have been home at all, and yet we don’t feel weighed down by the every day mundane routine of school, work, homework, sports, dinner and bed.
I know that some parents don’t like school holidays but I can honestly say that I have no idea why. The only thing that could possibly be better than school holidays as I see it, is summer holidays, 6 to 8 weeks of holidays right in the heart of summer. Glorious sun filled days at the beach or the pool, hanging out with family and friends it’s fun fun fun galore.
