Whenever I go on holiday, I like to time travel and imagine what it must have been like 500 years ago. I love the Tuscan landscape, which is reminiscent of a Claude Lorrain painting.
I have a team of cleaners, in case one is off sick or goes on holiday.
It’s surprising to me how many of my friends send Christmas cards, or holiday cards, including my atheist and secular friends.
A holiday vacation can mean sampling all kinds of new cuisine – whether it’s Uncle Joe’s award-winning chili or the exotic flavors of Nepal. If your little ones are fussy, be sure to ease mealtime hassles by bringing along a supply of the familiar foods they’re accustomed to rejecting at home.
‘Elf’ has become this big holiday movie, and I remember running around the streets of New York in tights saying, ‘This could be the last movie I ever make,’ and I could never have predicted that it’d become such a popular film.
The holiday season can be an especially trying time for our service men, women, and families. Military service and deployment create empty seats at holiday tables, religious services, and celebrations.
My favourite thing about the holiday season is to spend time with family and friends and to take time off to celebrate.
I hope maybe I’ll be in a Christmas movie that becomes part of someone’s holiday tradition.
I went on holiday with my kids and I had to make the choice – a good vacation for me, or a good vacation for them. A good vacation for them is to be with other Swedish kids, so I chose that, but I had to say, you have to behave, because I can’t have a scene in the restaurant.
A lot of people on holiday get very intolerant of things that go wrong, but getting wound up about the plane being late won’t make it come any sooner.
I absolutely love Christmas and look forward to the Holiday season all year long!
People want to see more diversity. That’s why you have the Kevin Hart making $17 million dollars on a holiday weekend.
The whole Valentine’s thing is fine, but you don’t back it up right next to the biggest gift-giving holiday of the year. Unbelievable. And we find it acceptable.
For the Left, Thanksgiving is about politics; for the Right, politics is about thanksgiving. The different approaches to holiday conversation come from opposing views of politics.
I’m aware of my value as a player, of course. But do I need to buy a holiday home that I’m only going to use two weeks every year? Course not. It’s a waste. Why not give the money to people who could do with it.
I was on holiday recently and I came home to find that one of the papers here had ‘bikini’d’ me on the beach. I was wearing a grossly unflattering costume and they had published photographs of me taken from behind. I looked dreadful. I went into our local newsagent and bought up every copy.
I don’t really do much on holiday with my skin, however I do apply face creams that I mix with aloe vera as that is helpful for dealing with sun exposure.
Not that I went into the Olympics with any doubt, but my holiday plans afterwards depended on how well I did – bronze, silver or gold.
Every Christmas now for years, I have found myself wondering about the point of the celebration. As the holiday has become more ecumenical and secular, it has lost much of the magic that I remember so fondly from childhood.
Having presented a few travel shows, I have become less lazy on holiday; it has encouraged me to go out and explore.
Holiday Shores’ ambition far exceeds its members’ recording budget. The band’s boyish vocal harmonies wash in and out with the tide, and reverb radiates from the guitars like heat off a sun-baked parking lot.
My mum was well-travelled, well-educated and made me understand from books, from my imagination and from just taking me away on holiday once a year, wherever she could, that the world was bigger than Peckham.
Amazon.com isn’t the same as going down an aisle. The same as record stores. You’ll go for Billie Holiday, and you buy Gustav Mahler as you’re going out the door.
If ever there was a holiday that deserves to be commercialized, it’s Halloween. We haven’t taken it away from kids. We’ve just expanded it so that the kid in adults can enjoy it, too.
If you go away with, you know, a girlfriend, wife, whatever, you have an argument on holiday because you’re not used to spending that much time with people.
During the holiday season, it’s easy to forget that sometimes the best gift of all is simply the gift of time. I can’t think of anything a writer would appreciate more than being given time and space to work.
The pursuit of natural knowledge, the investigation of the world – mental and material – in which we live, is not a dull and spiritless affair: rather is it a voyage of adventure of the human mind, a holiday for reckless and imaginative souls.
We’re going to do something that’s really unprecedented in the industry by launching the console in all three major markets for the same holiday. It’s never been done before.
My favorite holiday look would be either red velvet or sequins. That’s always gonna be my go-to for a holiday look! It’s a classic; it always works. It goes perfect with the occasion and the weather. It’s a feel.
My favorite part of any holiday is spending time with my wonderful family and friends.
I shot my first lion at the age of 14 when a pride threatened my father’s livestock while he was away on holiday.
Rome holds my psyche in balance. Whenever I’m there, it’s like a holiday.
When it’s all said and done, jazz with a capital J is where I’m coming from. Dexter Gordon, Billie Holiday, Miles Davis, Charlie Parker, Thelonious Monk – that’s what I really studied when I was a teenager and what really fueled my passion.
I listen to music mostly in the evening. I’ve come to love what is called world music, like the Zimbabwean Oliver Mtukudzi and the Colombian singer Marta Gomez. I also love the Irish folk singer Mary Black. Other favorites include Chet Baker, Eva Cassidy, and Billie Holiday.
Each holiday season, as family members arrive and couches are unfolded, my household settles into a palpable nostalgia. Poorly designed photo albums are pulled from the shelves. Home videos of prepubescent siblings in matching pajamas dance across the television screen.
We already know that the experience of lockdown is a mixed bag. It is increasingly recognised that for many it can be hellish. Enforced leisure – if you are crippled with worry about debts, insecure job prospects, your family’s health – is no holiday.
Fact is, famous people say fame stinks because they love it so – like a secret restaurant or holiday island they don’t want the hoi polloi to get their grubby paws on.
Though President Grover Cleveland declared Labor Day a national holiday in 1894, the occasion was first observed on Sept. 5, 1882, in New York City.
My parents always wonder why I work round the clock and I never had an answer, until one day I came across a street full of Oyos. I saw so many families and friends on holiday there. This made me happy – life had come full circle in that moment!
Holiday? Is like, what? I’m a hyperactive girl, so it may be boring for me to be on the beach doing nothing. I just need to find a place for three weeks and work but sleep in the morning, maybe write a little bit, have a glass of red wine. That’s my perfect holiday.
On holiday, I don’t want any plans or structure. If I want to wake up at lunchtime or have breakfast for dinner, then I will.
When I’m with my daughters on a holiday, I become one of the girls instead of their mother.
I tried snowboarding at 14, and I absolutely fell in love with it. I snowboarded every day off I had, every weekend I had off of school, every holiday we had off from school, and it became a huge part of my life, not just what I love to do, but really just kind of who I was.
Every pound that comes into the Exchequer was earned by someone through hard work, and could have been used for a new car, a holiday or a treat for the children. It means I have a responsibility to make sure that all public spending is justified.
‘Law & Order’ is a six-month shoot. Everything has to be crammed in. I had so much fun, but it wasn’t a holiday. We had seriously long days, and we’d finish at 8 P.M. and start again at 7 A.M. We were doing six-day weeks, which sometimes tripped onto the seventh. But I loved it all.
My mother used to play nothing but Billie Holiday.
Other people’s traditions look charming and decorative and exotic. They’re nice places to visit on holiday, but you wouldn’t want to live with one.
Some people think that going on a caravan holiday is a slightly more upscale version of camping. Let me assure you, it is much better than that. You know that you will have your creature comforts wherever you are. I never have to pack light, and I can put the kettle on in any location.
Halloween is my husband’s favorite holiday. That is his absolute favorite holiday. He loves Halloween. I’m not gonna say I don’t like it, I just don’t like being scared.
I loved to do sports when I was young. We were on a family holiday and went sailing. I just loved it. And there, you can say, life began to change for me.
The joke may be that no one likes fruitcake, but if that were the case, they wouldn’t appear on store shelves every holiday season!
It is kinda strange when people know exactly where I’ve been because they saw it in the newspaper. But this is the culture we live in now, where people are interested in what you’re doing on holiday, so we have to just basically accept it.
