Depending on which side of the Atlantic Ocean you are from, hearing the word holiday, for you, may conjure up a very different meaning than the people who reside on the other side of the ocean. For anyone who hails from the United Kingdom, they use the term “holiday” in British English to refer to a vacation away from home. However, for anyone from Canada or the United States, the term “holiday” refers to certain days of the year that are selected to observe important occasions such as New Year’s Day, Easter, Mother’s Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas. On the other hand, a vacation to them is the act of going somewhere to get away from everyday life to unwind and relax. Regardless of whether you prefer to call your getaways a holiday or a vacation, it is important to treat yourself to some time off so that you can return to your regular routine back home feeling refreshed and motivated.
Follow the Example of “Holiday”
Madonna may be from the United States but that did not stop her from adopting the British term when she released her huge hit “Holiday” in 1983. The song isn’t talking about celebrating traditional holidays that are a big deal in America like Christmas or Easter. Instead, it embraces the British philosophy of what a holiday is: a getaway that celebrates fun and relaxation. The song makes a point to remind us all to take some time out of our everyday lives to truly enjoy ourselves, and a vacation is the perfect way to achieve just that. Even though the song is now more than three decades old, its encouraging message to take a break from it all still rings true. Why not listen to the lyrics of the song and start planning a “holiday” of your own?
