Chol Hamoed, referring to the intermediate days of Pesach and Sukkot, literally translates as the non-holy (chol is the opposite of kodesh) part of the festival (moed means appointed time).
The thrust of this whole passage is that the Chol Hamoed work prohibition is a biblical level obligation (midoraita).
Chol Hamoed exemplifies a core Jewish approach sanctifying the chol, creating the bridge between the holy and the mundane.
On Chol Hamoed many Orthodox families go to amusement parks, the circus, the zoo, and engage in other recreational activities with friends to celebrate Passover or Sukkot.
The prohibition of work on Chol Hamoed, however, differs from the prohibitions of work on the Festivals or Shabbat, which are specifically stated in the Torah.
If the intention is not to deliberately leave work until Chol Hamoed, but rather to simply take a vacation, one is permitted to use their vacation days for the trip.
