What is the American word for holiday?

In: Accents & Dialects [Edit categories]

Answer:

Holiday. Isn't that simple?

An additional answer:
It depends on how you mean "holiday" as it is used in England. Christmas and Easter are holidays on either side of the Atlantic. If I personally get two weeks off work to take a pleasure trip, in America I am "on vacation," not "on holiday."
