My idea of a holiday was following my family up the hill with my pekinese, who would skip over the heather in front of me.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
From the big mountains in the north to the valleys in the south, all through my childhood and teenage years, my family would always holiday in Wales.
As much as we love being sociable on holiday, part of me craves the idea of being away, staying in a hut on the beach, and maybe not seeing anyone for days apart from Jamie and the boys.
I've got two young children, so holidays are not the same as they used to be. There are now two types: family holidays and holidays you need from that holiday.
I always loved family holidays, and I had this vision and dream as a little girl of having a big family of my own.
I've enjoyed many camping holidays with my sister and her children, but we're pretty posh campers.
We have a family holiday once a year, usually abroad, but that's it. I feel I should have holidays for my family's sake, but I'm not that adventurous.
Christmas was the one time of year when my brothers surfaced at home, when my parents and grandparents congregated to eat my mother's roast turkey.
Thanksgiving was always a favorite holiday for me. The preparation was fun! My grandma and I would walk to the butcher on Jamaica Avenue in Queens, order the bird, and buy all the fixings at the market.
I just love being around my family during the holidays.
For me, a holiday is about taking a book and going to a mountain and reading.
