Actually it is okay to mix your vacation time with gambling, maybe for some people choosing gambling to complete the vacation time is more fun but not everyone will choose the same thing and also there must be considerations that they do before they finally choose an activity to complete their vacation time such as gambling. But the point in my opinion whatever activity you choose to complete your vacation time, the point is don't let you destroy the entertainment and fun moments during the vacation time just because you are wrong in choosing an activity to complete your vacation time, it's okay to choose gambling but as long as you can really be responsible for whatever the results.
True, if you think that gambling is one of your stress reliever and having fun in casinos is one of your itinerary in vacations then it’s fine, no one can judge your preferences on what you want to enjoy. I mean yes, holiday season is supposed to be celebrated with the family right? but if your family is the same with you then it’s fine to have fun gambling during these events. It’s your happiness and of course, you need to complete and experience it, since holiday season is just one time in a year. But agree, it will always depends to your surroundings if you guys have the same vibes and they’re okay with it but if they can understand what’s your preferences then it’s fine, go ahead, your mental health, happiness, excitement and fun relies to gambling, then do it, they will definitely understand you.
Well and without thinking about the outcome later, the point is you gamble with the aim of entertaining yourself with the sensation you get regardless of the outcome later, and yes I also agree with you that the holiday season should be spent with family and although it is still possible to make gambling an option but in my opinion it is very unlikely for all family members to agree to choose gambling as the main activity of choice to spend vacation time, and for me vacation time is much more fun when I do physical activities such as traveling to a tourist spot with my family.
In conclusion, regardless of whatever entertainment activity we choose, the point is that I think we must have really considered it from various sides and also discussed it with other family members so that everyone really feels happy and I also agree with your last opinion.
