A '''vacation''' is a period taken off from regular [[work]].
Common goals for vacation time are [[recreation]], [[recuperation]], [[sightseeing]], [[adventure]], and [[volunteer]] work.
One feature of a "good" job is an inviting amount of vacation time, usually increasing over the years. Some employers also offer opportunities for lengthy [[sabbatical]]s. Some vacation time is usually assigned to regular celebrations, such as [[Christmas]], the [[Fourth of July]], and [[Thanksgiving]]. The rest can be taken when the worker wants it, with permission from their [[employer]], or, in some cases, during a summer shutdown of operations when most [[employee]]s take the same time off.
