How do you celebrate holidays?

Holidays are more than just a break from the daily grind. They’re a chance to hit the reset button, but my reset button isn’t a tropical beach or a buzzing city—it’s a small, familiar place I’ve always called home.

The moment a holiday approaches, my heart starts a familiar countdown, not to a new destination but to the one I know best. It’s a place where the air smells different, the streets feel like an extension of myself, and every face tells a story. The best part? The faces of my siblings, who are waiting with open arms and a world of memories to revisit.


Stepping into my hometown is like stepping back in time. My holidays are a retreat into simplicity. We share endless conversations, catching up on life, and we tell old stories that lead us to past memories. A holiday with my siblings is a marathon of simple joys.

These simple moments are the highlights of my year. They’re not about grand gestures or extravagant plans; they’re about the quiet comfort of being with the people who know you best. In a world that’s constantly pushing us to be more, do more, and have more, these holidays offer a gentle reminder that sometimes, the most important thing is simply to be.


After every visit, I return to my routine with a renewed sense of purpose and a heart full of warmth. The laughter, the love, and the deep sense of belonging stay with me, fueling my motivation and giving me the strength to dive back into my responsibilities.

So, while others might chase exotic getaways, I’ll be found on a familiar couch, surrounded by the people who make my world go round. For me, holidays aren’t just a rest; they’re a deep reconnection with what truly matters—home and family.
