It's kind of a flexible word! Saying 'holiday' instead of 'vacation' sounds weird to Americans though, so be careful. :)

A: HOLIDAY
In English(US), "holiday" is used 3 ways.
1. For religious events (holiday = holy day)
"Good Friday is a Christian holiday, but most people still go to work and to school."
"Christmas is a holiday, and most people do not work on Christmas day."
"Valentine's Day is a small holiday. People go to work and school on Valentine's Day."

2. Any days that many people in the country do not work.
Examples:
"Most people do not work on the holiday, Christmas."
"In the US, we have a holiday called, "Thanksgiving." Thanksgiving is always on a Thursday, and most people do not work or go to school."
"We have a three-day weekend next week, because Monday is a holiday."

3. Holiday = Break from work (official long periods of time not working, most people have off)
Example:
A: What did you do over the holiday?
B: I went with my family to Hawaii. What did your family do?

Holiday Examples: Christmas, New Year, Labor Day, Thanksgiving,

VACATION
"Vacation" is used 2 ways.
1. Any official/approved periods of time off, a break.

(for everyone)
Spring Break = Spring Vacation, Christmas Vacation, Winter Vacation
Example:
"I do not have school for two weeks because Christmas Vacation begins tomorrow."

(for just one person)
Example:
"At my job, we get 14 vacation days each year. We can choose when to take them. I want to go skiing, so I will use 3 vacation days."

2. A fun, leisure trip to [a place].
Example:
"I went on a vacation to Hawaii with my family."

DAY OFF
In English (US), we say, "day off". "Offday" is incorrect. "Day off" is used 2 ways.

1. (Part-time jobs) a day when you do not work. This kind of "day off" is scheduled, expected, regular, usual. This is often used with "my", "your", "their".
Examples:
"This week, I will work at my job on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Friday is my day off."
"I want to go to the movies with Alice. I think Friday is her usually day off. I'll ask her to go on Friday."

2. (For any job or student) a day you do not have to work or go to school. Can be scheduled, regular OR a surprise, unexpected, irregular day.
Examples:
"The electricity was not working, so everyone had the day off."
"Do you want to go shopping on Monday? I have the day off."
"I worked late every day last week, so my boss told me to take the day off."

A: Both explanations are correct.

In US English, holidays are specific days in the year that are set aside for celebrations. For example, Christmas and New Years are holidays. Vacations, on the other hand, are longer periods of time that people usually take off for themselves (usually for traveling).

In UK English, you use holidays as well when talking about vacations. "I went on holiday to France" and "Let's go on holiday" would be the same as "I went on vacation to France" and "Let's go on a vacation" in US English.

A: Holiday refers to a specific day (ie Christmas or thanksgiving). Vacation can be any time you take off work whether it's an official holiday or not

A: In the past:
How was your holiday?
How did you spend your holiday?
In general:

How do you spend your holidays?
In the present:

How is your holiday going?
In the future:
What are you going to do on you holiday?
What do you plan on doing on your holiday?
How are you going to spend your holiday?

A: Holidays. There is no need to say day twice :)

A: We don't have slang for the word Holiday itself, but I assume you mean " 'oliday." Here the H is replaced with a '

A: Your're welcome!
And hmmm. I would say:
"You should combine Tuesday and Wednesday with Thursday."

if it's already known that it's a holiday, but if I want to emphasize that Thursday is a holiday then I would say it with more detail like:

"You should combine Tuesday and Wednesday with Thursday, since it's a holiday. Then we'll (we will) have all three days off!"

I hope this makes sense and is of help to you!

A: That's called the "emphatic" in English. It's used to emphasize what comes after it. It's usually pronounced with more stress than the surrounding words.

A: Howard is Jewish and high holidays are Jewish religious holidays. Kosher is food that adheres to the Jewish dietary laws.

A: The meaning of "I've just got back off holiday" is easily understood but it sounds a bit off.

I would say: "I've just got back from "

"Get back to work" usually (for me at least), means "you were goofing off and now you're going to resume your work" (i.e. not travel to your place of work).

Other "get back" examples (different meanings perhaps):

"Get back on track". <- implies something / someone was not on track (i.e. was deviating) and is now back on track (to their goals / objectives etc..).

"I'll get back to you" <- I can't give you an answer right here and now but I'll look it up and reply later.

"I'll get you back" <- revenge. i.e. it implies you hold a grudge and intend to even the score in the future - not exactly "get back" but it was fun including ;)

"When I get back from work, I treat myself to a nice cold beer everyday" <- more in line with your examples above.

A: We are going to have a five-day holiday in Japan next week
