why we have so many holidays

There have been so many times when were young and weary of studying up to the point that we wished so many long times that we just ended up not studying at all and having an eternal vacation - clearly, something that would just never happen.

When we grew up we realized the meaning of life in facing the responsibilities that were staring us straight in the face dead on; and how we need to work to stand on our own two feet and push for our independency from the world that we had gotten used to in our past by getting ourselves a job whether it was in the public or private sector.

Come back to current times and we remember the golden days and start to laugh about such issues and wish that we had the chance to go back and repeat them all over again; hence, the famous Arabic poetic verse, 'Oh how I wish that the young soul could come back again - so I can tell it of what the elder has done' (loosely translated).

But this hides the possibility of a small hidden agenda behind why the Georgian calendar has so many vacation enlisted such as Christmas Day; Valentine's Day; Birthdays; and so on, so forth. The possibility lies within in trying to make the world forget it's responsibilities and run by errands to fulfill the day's end of such a 'season' of moments to celebrate.

Could this not be?
