Holidays are good for your health and overall well-being, finds study

Social holidays improve holidaymakers' overall satisfaction with life, as well as satisfaction with the quantity and quality of their leisure time, and social life, according to a new study.

The researchers were surprised to discover that besides an increase in overall life satisfaction, social holidays also increased, for instance, holidaymakers' satisfaction with their employment and economic situation.  The researchers also found that social holidays strengthened feelings of equality among families with children.
