    Where in the world is Valentine’s Day a holiday?

        Holiday implies a public holiday, as in people get the day off from work and school. Otherwise I wouldn’t call it a holiday.

          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.

          Yeah I suppose, I guess I consider it a holiday myself simply because it’s a day that I celebrate
