FEELING THE CULTURE : HOLIDAYS FEEL DIFFERENT TO ME
By Christine Trzyna
I think it's because I (we?) can feel it in our environment, the difference between the work day week, the weekend, and the holiday. I think it's about guilt or lack of. When a whole lot of people are off and out to play, I feel freer, less obligated, and more likely to play too. Even though I organize much of my own time without obligation to others at this point, I still feel better about doing my own thing on holidays, in particular holidays that can be strung together with weekends into four days off.
