English dialect question

I know that the word "vacation" is more common in America for the time that schools are out in the summer, and that "holiday" is more common in the UK. I think the main word I use, though, is "break". Is this also an Americanism, or is it more neutral? I'm also curious about other English dialects - what do you usually call this period of time, what sounds really odd/foreign, and where are you from?
