Pro Tip 1/3
Not Always Abroad
The holiday can be within your own country, not necessarily overseas. We're spending our holiday at a local beach resort this year.
Pro Tip 2/3
Duration Varies
A holiday duration can range from a single day to several weeks. I've got a four-day holiday coming up during Thanksgiving.
Pro Tip 3/3
Informal Use
Informally, 'holiday' can mean any break from routine, not official vacations. I'm taking a day off work for a personal holiday.
