I think probably this year the National Holiday is already our longest holiday. Since this year the Mid-autumn Festival is in the National Holiday, so we have 8 days holiday and that's so nicelol

We don't get long Public holidays.

Easter could be our biggest break, we have Good Friday (Christian) then Easter Saterday,Easter Sunday and the Moday is a Public holiday.

But in that there is only two public Holidays and that is Friday and monday, but most people will arrange themself to have the Four days off.

We have what we call a Long Weekend, This is where the Monday is a Holiday,

Our main Holidays are,

Good Friday,

Hi youless, I'm glad to learn that you could enjoy a long holiday for 8 days. lol So you have to thank for the Mid-autumn Festival that falls right in your National Holiday. This beautiful coincidence has offered you such a wonderful and happy vacation thumbup I hope you could make full use of the holidays and enjoy the pleasant time heartily together with your family, doing activities you long for to your heart content.

One of my part time work agreement had come to a successful conclusion. The other one will be ended by the end of the coming month. I would like to start my work usually in Feb of the coming year. The former one most probable will begin in the month of March. So I usually could enjoy a 3 months long holiday happy

Wish you all the best and a Happy National Day and a Mid-Autumn Festival Day!

I envy you to have such a long time holidaylol By the way, we are going to my husband's hometown during this holiday. I hope we will have a great timehappy

sad but this is an unpaid leave holiday.
I believe you son must be very happy to have a long holiday vacation together with his grandparents in another town. He feels happy as well with his well designed and beautiful lantern I suppose.
Take care and happy holiday! happy

Our longest holiday is Christmas, and it also depends on what day of the week Christmas Day and Boxing Day falls on as the holiday could be extended longer! Then close to it is obviously New Years Day. However in respect to school holidays the Summer holidays are the longest with most children getting 6 weeks off! That is what I used to love best about school the time off! But when you work I guess Christmas is the longest holiday in the year, unless of course you take annual leave!

My longest holiday is Passover. It lasts8 days. During those days I can't eat anything that has yeast or rises. So I can't have pizza, pretzels,or pasta. That's most of my diet. It is so hard.


myLot reputation of 96/100. youless (15180)   ranked 9 out of 825 in holidays  2 months ago

Actually it is my first time to hear this holiday.


myLot reputation of 97/100. sarahruthbeth22 (10393)   ranked 69 out of 825 in holidays  2 months ago

Passover is the Holiday when Jews remember that they were delivered from slavery.Have you seen the movie The Ten Commandments? that's the story. When Moses got The Jews release, there wasn't any time to let the bread rise .They just packed up and fled .So we Jews today don't eat anything that has to rise like bread during Passover.

In Malaysia, only the main festival was given 2 working days off.
Namely, Hari Raya Puasa (for Muslims), Chinese New Year and Deepavali.
So, school will normally close for a week during this festival so that
people can go back to their hometown. What the school did is they have
replacement class on Saturday to replace on the extra days given during
this special festivals. Those working adults will apply their own leave
from work, hence minus from their annual leavewink

Two days seems to be a little bit short.
