Usage notes
In the singular, this refers to a "festival" of some kind. In the plural, it can mean "festivals" or "vacation", i.e. to both the American and British senses of the word "holidays". Some speakers distinguish these meanings in pronunciation, for example in a south Wales accent, for "festivals", American "holidays" and  for "vacation", British "holiday(s)". For other speakers, both are pronounced the same.
