Are there any classical works that you connect with a holiday?

Well, I always associate the Nutcracker with Christmas. It was always a tradition to go to the ballet to see it every year. I still love it.

This may sound silly, but I have a strong association between (UK) roads and music, which relates to the road I was driving on when I was getting to know the piece. For example, the M69 has strong Dvorak symphonic connections for me, also Dorian toccatta and fugue, Franck's Symphonic Variations put me on the M50 heading for Newport, South Wales, and Mozart's Requiem takes me back to the Orkney Islands. Does anyone else share this peculiarity - or am I just bonkers?

it's not silly at all, i find this super-cool feeling such connections!

there is a comic book i have that make me wanna barf anytime i smell it. it doesn't stink at all, but the first time i read it was when we had a trip in the familial car, through french mountains. cuuuurves, cuuuuurves, uuuuup, doooooown. mountains. barfffffff. i can't even try to read it in a still bus today
