No! No! No! If the word "holiday" were extracted from the English language, the media and department stores would be rendered speechless when it comes to describing anything associated with Christmas. They want to avoid saying or writing "Christmas" with every ounce of their being. My God, man, have you no mercy?
hmm wonder what they'd if they knew that the word Holiday actually means Holy Day ;)
HOLIDAY
# A religious feast day; a holy day.
