Why do they call it "a Holiday"

Every day is a "holiday" - life is too short already.

Think it's just you.  I consider all my trips out in the caravan to be little holidays. 

We don't refer to our trips away with the van as a holiday, but others do.

It doesn't bother me though, holidays to me are something I fly to. Trips in the van are just well 'trips in the van' living in a differant place doing differant things.

For many though especially those who still work going away as a family it is a 'holiday' isn't it.

Everytime we go away to another area, be it in the van or to a cottage or to an hotel we treat it like a holiday.  Why not, holidays are to be enjoyed. They are fun.  

To me "trips" mean "day trips"  in the car .  Enjoyable they may be, but I would not class a day trip as a holiday.

to some, 'trips' mean something completely different, yeah man

It's just you, holiday is a nice word and even nicer when I'm taking it.

In communications the CC refer to site bookings in the context of a "holday"  as in "enjoy your holiday". Why do they do that ? Is our hobby not the pusuit of a leisure activity and/or an alternative lifestyle. For me a campervan trip should be an adventure, something exiting, possibly reasonably hard work, planning, driving cooking or whatever. I don't like the term holiday at all and for me itn indicates a lack lof understanding of the ethos of what I (and probably many others)  do. Or is it just me ??

..Its just you,mind you do others find they do more "work " than normall when away

So do you have an alternative wording to"enjoy your holiday"?  To me, any trip of longer than 1 day in the van is a holiday.  I'm not at home, where I might just see something that needs dusting, cleaning or hoovering, so to me it's a holiday.  We go away for 4 or 5 days, sometimes a fortnight, and twice a year for about 7 weeks.  Each and every one of those I call a holiday 

On a different note: we don't appear to receive those "enjoy your holiday" emails anymore.

ging away somewhere different and doing something different is a holiday. Well it is to me.

'Holiday' derived from Holy day, not for working. If i go away it's a holiday, no work whatsoever-just pleasure
