This morning, my husband turns to me as he’s getting ready for work, and he says,
“Are you going to do a lot of baking on your holiday?”
And I’m thinking, “Yes, Karen Day. I shall bake all the things on Karen Day. Lovely Victorian Sponge.”
Instead, I tilt my head quizzically and say, “Holiday? Don’t you mean vacation?”
He responds by saying a vacation implies you’re going somewhere and holiday simply refers to time off. I say holiday is a British term and we Americans ONLY vacation.
