Yes, 2020 was a bummer with a long lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic that forced us to stay home for the most part. 2021 promises to clean the mess 2020 has made by rewarding us all with 15 long weekends scattered all around the 12 months.

A long weekend is like an elixir of a professional’s work-life that replenishes them and keeps the balance between work-life and personal life intact. Although you might see the consequences of the COVID pandemic in 2021 as well when it comes to traveling, you can just chill around at your home on your bean bag chair binging your favorite show during those long weekends. 

Without further ado, let’s strap in and take a peek into the bounty of holidays 2021 is going to give us all. We hope your managers are kind to approve your leaves for your grand plans during those long weekends, and if you’re a freelancer, we hope your client releases your payment before them.
