LET´S ROLE & PLAY

HOLIDAYS OR VACATION?

Holidays are for everyone!

One big difference between "vacation" and "holiday" is that we use the word
'holiday' to talk about days that are celebrated by a lot of people. They include
religious holidays:

•Christmas If everyone that you
•Rosh Hashanah work with is out of work
•Ramadan on the same day, it's not

Vacations often involve travel! a "vacation".

If you tell someone about your "vacation" the conversation might go like this:

You: I took a vacation last week. Them: Where did you go?

(That's because vacations often
involve traveling somewhere.)

A new word that's become a bit popular in the last 10 years is "staycation". A
"staycation" is a holiday that you spend at home.

HOLIDAYS OR VACATION?

BRITISH AND OTHER ENGLISH VARIETIES
The rules above are for american english. British english uses "holiday" in both
cases:
Monday is a holiday.
I'm going on holiday next week.

What about other days?
There are some days when you don't work that are neither "holidays" nor
"vacations".

For example,
if you stay home one day just to relax, what do you call it? It's not a general
"holiday" but you're not going anywhere so it's not a "vacation" either.

You can call such a situation a "day OFF":
