    Woildn’t the fact that the phrase “public holiday” is widely used imply the exact opposite of what you said?

      What does holiday mean if not to take a break?

      Okay, I looked this up. It’s mostly used in Australia and UK to mean a day off from work. In America you use it to mean celebration.
