HolidayS. Is there any posibility to use it in plural?
Some days ago I listen to somebody speaking and I think he says "holidayS" in plural. Is it correct in any case? In which one?
The dictionary says that it's correct "Christmas holidayS". Is there any other case?
Thank you very much!

1. Holiday I would use specifically for a trip or vacation to somewhere (which actually involves travelling). "I am going away on a holiday next week"
2. Holidays usually refers to the vacation period (Christmas holidays, summer holidays, Easter holidays, etc.) where you get time off from work/school, but not necessarily travelling. "What are you doing in the holidays? Are you staying at home?". A less used meaning can also be the plural of #1. "How many holidays have you been on to Hawaii?"

Yes it is correct. There you have example :http://www.travelsupermarket.com/c/holidays/summer/2013/ . ,,Summer 2013 Holidays" . On this page you can compare lots of places where you can spend your free time. Summer holiday 2013 places. I think it's similar meaning.
