Two people so far today have looked at me like I'm an alien when I've said that I'm not going on holiday this year. I haven't been on holiday for a few years and this is a recurring theme.
One said "Oh no, you have to have a holiday". The other said "Oh okay" as if I just told her I'd developed a fetish for eating toe jam.
I really hate the pressure to have/want a holiday.
Some people can't afford a holiday so might say they don't want one because they don't want to tell people they're skint.
I can afford a holiday, I just don't want one. Last year I started saying "We might get a late deal later in the summer" just to avoid having to explain why I wasn't having a holiday.
I realise it's a massive non-issue but it pisses me off.
