I consider a vacation getting away to relax. It could be a mini vacation or a trip to Another Country. To me a holiday is the 4th of July or Canada Day, Christmas, etc.
Across the Atlantic in Britain we don't use the word "vacation"; instead we use "holiday". Days such as Christmas, Good Friday etc are referred to as Bank Holidays (because the banks are closed on those days).
Vacation:An extended period of recreation, esp. one spent away from home or in travelingHoliday:
A day of festivity or recreation when no work is done.
A vacation is either voluntary or part of a person's work criteria. One or more people can decide to take a day, week, weeks, or a month off from work voluntarily. Most workplaces give their employees either a week or two weeks off, every year. A sabbatical, is mutually agreed to by an employer: usually a college or university. The amount of time is an entire year, and the individual is expected to pursue a particular course of study during that year. It is also customary for the study to be conducted in another geographical location. He/she is paid in full for that year. Most of the time, the individual does not return to work for that particular school. It has become a well-known convenience for colleges to fire tenured professors that they normally would not be able to get rid of.
Here are some basic definitions.
