Holiday Mode?

So as I'm setting up all my lights/automations to work for certain days of the week etc, I started to think about what happens when a holiday comes around?

For example, if July 4th is on Monday, I'd want me "weekend" mode to occur on Monday instead of the typical Monday mode. And if it falls on Thursday, but my family is in town for the long weekend (Thurs-Sun), I'd want weekend mode to be Thurs-Sunday.

If I have my dining room lights turn on at noon on the Sat/Sun, but never during the week since I'm at work, I'd want those lights to turn on at noon on the "holidays" as well regardless of the day of the week.

I'm not looking for a calendar to "just know" when all the holidays are and set it automatically (because if I go away for the holiday I don't need my schedules/rules to change). But rather, I want an easy way to press a virtual button (change the mode) to override all other modes and force my "weekend" modes/rules on a Monday and Tuesday or whatever...

Any ideas?

THANKS!
