[QUOTE="David Tallan, post: 1248602, member: 31995"] Here in Canada, holiday and vacation have different but overlapping meanings - at least in my dialect. Both refer to times when you aren't working. Holidays are days when work shuts down and you get time off. They aren't usually much more than a week and often (but not always) originally had a religious basis ("holy day"). Things like Thanksgiving and Christmas, but there are completely secular holidays (Canada Day here is one example). We talk about public holidays, statutory holidays, and bank holidays and which days you get off depends on your contract. For statutory holidays, if you don't get them off work, you are generally paid extra. Vacation is different. It is also time off work, but work continues in your absence. People get a certain amount of "vacation time" in addition to holidays. I can't speak to the usage in other English-speaking countries, US or non-US. [/QUOTE]
