I guess holidays but not ones big enough to get off of school for. I don't know, what we get off of school for is weird, in fact, we technically don't get off for christmas for that would be putting one religion over another, so we get "Winter Break" since there are so many different holidays around that time. Then there is "Spring Break" so we can have a break from school (no other reason than that) and "Summer Break" which is the few months before the next school year starts. Depending on where you live is what decides the other holidays, I get off for Martin Luther King Jr. Day, teacher work days, hurricane days, etc.
