When we say a holiday, we usually a public holiday(公共假日). We mean it is a time of rest at home. We don't go to work, we don't go to school. So:
Saturday is a holiday. Sunday is a holiday
这是holiday(public holiday)的最好例子。
从a rest at home角度，我们可以说Christmas is also a t?
. Festival.
When we say festival, we also mean a time of rest at home. No school classes.
从这个角度看，Christmas is a festival,too.
但是，festival还必须具备另外一个条件：
A festival is a time of rest with some celebrations(庆祝活动),either cultural or religious celebrations(宗教的或者文化的庆祝活动),like a gala show(狂欢活动),like a fireworks show(烟火表演),like a public entertainment(公众娱乐活动)(这些词汇一定要记住哟)
从这个角度看，Saturday and Sunday are not a are just a holiday.
But Christmas is both a holiday and a ng Festival in China is both a holiday and a festival.
我们记住这些英语口语，我们也就基本能告诉别人：What is the difference between a holiday and a festival?
