On holiday/On vacation
Someone took over my duties while I was on holiday/vacation last Christmas.
Can holiday and vacation be used interchangeably?

Generally speaking, holiday is British English and vacation is US English. In Canada, we often use the terms Legal Holiday or Statutory Holiday to refer to the special days (eg Christmas Day, Thanksgiving, eg Labour Day). Clive
