Yes, I'm really fond of holidays. The main factor is that on these days I don't have to work or study. Holidays often mean new experiences and adventures. I have plenty of time for traveling to places I've been wanting to visit, walking, and engaging in new activities that are unfamiliar to me. I also enjoy experiencing new cuisines, cultures, and perspectives. Additionally, I have more consecutive time with my family. So holidays are a great opportunity for quality bonding time.
