If it's a lot of consecutive holidays, then "rest of your holidays" is fine. We often say that around Christmas time in America.

Hi @Koveshel ! Thank you for your quick response! So which means... I can use both expressions for our Golden Week ( a 10-consecutive holiday), but "holidays" sounds more natural than "holiday"? or " holidays " would be more commonly used on this case ?

@mimi444 Is Golden Week 10 different holidays/events or is it one holiday/event that lasts 10 days?

I think "holidays" is only used for multiple consecutive holidays (like Christmas + New Year), but if Golden Week is just a single 10-day long holiday/event, then just "holiday" would be more natural.

If it's multiple separate holidays, then I think both "holiday" or "holidays" would sound equally natural, to me.

"holiday" is always safe to use (since "holiday" can just mean "a designated time off from work"), so if there's any doubt, you may as well just say "holiday"

Hi @Koveshel ! Thank you for your meticulous explanations! The Golden Week is usually a collection of four national holidays within seven days. In combination with well placed weekends.

In 2019, the Emperor is scheduled to abdicate on April 30, followed by the ascension to the throne of the new Emperor on May 1 which will be made a national holiday. As a result, April 30 and May 2 will also become national holidays (because according to law, a day between two holidays also becomes a holiday), creating an unprecedented, consecutive 10-day holiday from April 27 to May 6. ( so to make a long story short, there are 6 national holidays in 10 days)
