The word holiday has related but different meanings in English-speaking countries. Based on the Old English words holy and day (halig dæg), holidays originally represented special religious days. The word has evolved in general usage to mean any special day.
Hey, let's face it. If Christmas isn't a Halig Daeg (holy day) then it would be reduced to one big climax after a month long consumer orgy.
