holiday visits
Festive family gatherings
Holiday visits are trips to see family or friends during major holidays like Thanksgiving, Christmas, or Easter.
The phrase often carries undertones of obligation, family tension, or logistical stress: I'm dreading the holiday visits this year.
Extended family gatherings, travel difficulties, and navigating complicated relationships make these visits distinct from casual socializing.
