holiday(holidays)一般指“休假”
  Tom and I are going to have a holiday. 我和汤姆准备去度假。
  I've already had my holidays this year. 我今年已经度过假了。
  During a holiday in Sweden, I found this note on my car.

  Postcards always spoil my holidays. 明信片总是弄得我过不好假日。
  My holidays passed quickly, but I did not send any cards to my friends.
  我的假日过的很快,但是我一张明信片也没有寄给朋友。

  注:have a (或one's)holiday 度假,during a holiday 在一次假期中。这种用法的holiday 总用单数形式,但并不只是“一天”假。 复数形式的holidays 泛指“假日”,如summer holidays 暑假。但“Sunday is a holiday ”中的holiday 却是“一天”的假。
  She has gone to Canada on vacation. 她到加拿大去度假。 (= holiday)
  The city was covered with holiday clothes.(喻义时只能用holiday,不能用vacation.)(vocation职业、天命)

  holiday一两天的假/holidays长假/vacation一般不用复数,另有“(法庭)休庭期”之意。

  而 vacation 在英国指大学的寒暑假或法定不工作的日子,美国可指任何假日(期)
  The students are planning how to spend their summer vacation.
  这些大学生在计划着怎样过暑假。
