While I'm not sure this is the best solution, it's what I've used
for similar. I've got federal holidays, city holidays (my beloved
is a city employee), and school holidays in play, so I have files
for each, and one for their commonality
# common_hol.rem
OMIT Dec 25 MSG Christmas

# federal_hol.rem

OMIT Feb 22 MSG President's Day

# city_hol.rem

OMIT Jun 19 MSG Juneteenth

# school_hol.rem

then in my respective calendars, I can include them in PUSH/POP blocks
# school.rem

I made the school one reusable originally because our daughter's
preschool was on the same schedule as the local school-district,
but I wanted different calendar files for each.
I don't know if it's useful, but it works for me.
