Doodling on a Page During the Intermediate Days of a Festival

Writing

Question

Is it permissible to doodle aimlessly on a page during Chol Ha-Moed (intermediate days of a festival)?

Answer

Shalom and joyous festival to you!
The law that applies to it is no different than that of other labors that should not be performed during the festival without necessity. However, if there is some need, it is permitted, just like other unskilled labor that can be performed for the sake of the festival.
