Facebook Obligation 

The act of liking or commenting on one's friends post on Facebook, not because you feel like posting but because they often comment or like yours.
I couldn't care less that Arianna's son just had a great birthday party, but I had to like her post out of Facebook obligation. She is always commenting on and liking my shit.

Oblication 

A required or expected visit to family/in-laws during your vacation time. Not exactly what would qualify as a holiday.

"Are you going on vacation this summer?"
"No" he said, "I'm going on an oblication to see family who I haven't see since last year.

oblication 

A vacation whose primary purpose is to fulfill an obligation or obligations, usually ones that are not enjoyable. (E.g. visiting disliked family members, attending memorial services, weddings you'd rather not attend, etc.)
This summer we are going on a vacation to Paris and an oblication to Toronto. My sister is holding Mittens' annual cat memorial service in July. It's pretty far to drive, but we'd never hear the end of it if we weren't there.
