Christmas Vacation or Winter break?

It was always called Christmas vacation, I was raised in Texas, and it is still referred to that now. However, I did notice that when I moved to the Northeast, that it was mostly refered to as Winter break, I'm not sure if that is because there is more of a winter of up than down south, or if it's just a regional type thing.

In my counrty they called chritsmas vacation, because we dont have any winter in philippines, but her in kuwait also they called Big Eid thats for muslim they have almost 1 week school & ministry & sometimes the other private companies that what i know.

When I was at school in the middle east, we didn't really have a vacation then and just had a day off for Christmas and one for the New Year's. But at my son's school in India, it's not called Winter vacations or Christmas vacations. It's more like a term break and that's what they call it....especially since we have kids from many religions here.

Schools here, and most colleges here say Christmas vacation. Oklahoma University is the only one I've heard actually officially call it winter break. No really seems to care, because it's not like we have to refer to it as anything. What is odd to me is when schools do plays and call them winter plays, yet the play itself is all about Christmas. Say what? lol
