Holiday
I don't mind the word "holiday" at all. I like it better than vacation, as in "I'm on Christmas vacation." Christmas holiday makes more sense.
Holiday comes from the Old English "Holy day." Seems like only a fool would try to repress the reference to Christ in Christmas by substituting a word that means the day is HOLY. Subscribe here to get the OED word of the day.
