:xmas: Holiday versus Holidays :xmas:


Whatever is the difference?

According to Michael Swan in Practical English Usage:

HOLIDAY
- normally used for a short period, say, one or two days; can also be used for longer period, but not common.

e.g. We had a holiday last Friday.

HOLIDAYS
- used for a longer period.

e.g. We will have the holidays in three weeks' time.
