a sanctioned escape from the very routine that makes it feel like an escape
means a day or period set aside for rest, celebration, or freedom from work or school.
from From Old English hāligdæg, literally 'holy day' — a religious feast set apart from ordinary labour. Over centuries the holiness wore off and the day off remained, so that what once honoured a saint now mostly honours the sofa.
