Examples of holidays in a Sentence
Usually we spend the holidays together, like Easter, Christmas, Thanksgiving, but I’ve never been invited to Eddie’s birthday because why would you want your ex-wife at your f-----g birthday? i mean, there’s no point. But then yesterday, I got invited to his birthday by LeAnn. And then my son actually said, ‘Well, dad didn’t invite you for sure.’.
Holidays are no longer holidays because we have no joy, every day is a living nightmare that we can’t and won’t wake up from.
We love our jobs, but we're not getting any respect, we're not getting any time off — we get Thanksgiving off, Christmas Eve and Christmas as far as holidays — the rest of the holidays we have to work while our families are celebrating holidays.
If you are vaccinated, and particularly if you are boosted, you're going to have to wear a mask on the plane anyway. That's a regulation. But be prudent and careful. When you go to the airport, particularly, that's an indoor congregate setting, i believe that if people follow the recommendations of the CDC about indoor masking, take the advice of getting vaccinated and getting boosted, we should be fine for the holidays, and we should enjoy it with our family and our friends.
I’m sure everyone is anxiously awaiting because prices are still high, just shopping for food to feed people during the holidays is going to be a huge challenge.
