I suspect the holiday companies will gift during off season but wouldn’t t want to during peak season when that space could be taken by a paying customerOne thing I don’t understand about their holidays... if they are gifted and she doesn’t pay for them, why does she take Safiyah out of school? Surely it’s not necessary? I would imagine she could negotiate that so that her daughter doesn’t need to miss any school. I wouldn’t be opposed to taking my children out of school one day for a holiday (we do cultural holidays not packages) but only because we can’t physically afford a holiday during the holidays. She gets it for free so why can’t it be during the hols?
