      Holiday implies a public holiday, as in people get the day off from work and school. Otherwise I wouldn’t call it a holiday.

        Woildn’t the fact that the phrase “public holiday” is widely used imply the exact opposite of what you said?

          What does holiday mean if not to take a break?

          Okay, I looked this up. It’s mostly used in Australia and UK to mean a day off from work. In America you use it to mean celebration.

        Yeah I suppose, I guess I consider it a holiday myself simply because it’s a day that I celebrate
