Canadians and Americans do many things on
their vacations. Some visit relatives, others travel, go camping, go to the beach,
go to a cottage, relax, or even get caught up on jobs around the house. It is
expensive to pay someone to do household maintenance, so many people do such
things as painting, wallpapering, washing windows, building things (like desks)
and fixing things around the house.
Lots of kids work to earn money during the
holidays or volunteer to work to gain some work experience.
