So… How DID You Spend Your Holidays?

Let’s be real – this is the #1 question after any break! Maybe you:
– “Spent quality time with family” (Netflix marathons count!)
– “Traveled to [place]” (Bonus points if you add: “The food was AMAZING”)
– “Finally relaxed after busy months” (Hello, pajama days!)
Pro tip: English speakers love details! Instead of “I went to the beach,” try “We built sandcastles and ate way too much ice cream!”
