Yeah, that's a problem.  So I'd do OMITs without any MSG and have separate
REMs to actually output the holidays.

IMO, the small amount of redundancy caused by:

     # In holidays.rem
     OMIT 25 Dec

     # In display_holidays.rem
     REM 25 Dec MSG Christmas

is a small price to pay compared to the complexity of setting
variables, potentially breaking the Remind algorithm, etc.  It's also
fewer (way fewer) lines of code.
