I feel really bad for your kids, just saying.
Dya know how much students look forward to midwinter vacation??? They count down from the day after Yom Tov Vacation!! Midwinter vacation lets us retain our sanity and rejuvenate for the next half of the year!! I don’t know about you but Yom Tov isn’t always that relaxing. Are you seriously gonna make your kids go back to school right after midterms???
Nobody is forcing you to keep up with the Jonas’s or whoever. if you feel the need to that is your own issue and don’t take it out on kids all over the world!!!
