American Holidays 

What is a Holiday?  

Originally, "holiday" meant "holy day".  It was a religious day, as was Christmas and Easter and Halloween.  Nowadays, it seems to have taken on a different meaning:  In the US, it means any special day of celebration or festivals (some are "days off" of work and/or school, and others, like Halloween, are not).  In contrast, in the UK, it means a day off of work/school, or a vacation.
