"A holiday is
a day set aside by custom or
by law on
which normal activities, especially business or work
including school, are suspended or reduced.
Generally, holidays are intended to allow
individuals to celebrate or commemorate an event or
tradition of cultural or religious significance.
Holidays may be designated by governments, religious
institutions, or other groups or organizations. The
degree to which normal activities are reduced by a
holiday may depend on local laws, customs, the type
of job held or personal choices." |
