"planned downtime" usually means what you specify with the "DOWNTIME" 
parameter. I think what you're after is some way of telling Xymon 
"DOWNTIME=holidays".

If that is not what you mean, please correct me.

By default, the holidays.cfg file has a setting HOLIDAYLIKEWEEKDAY=0 
which means that on a holiday, DOWNTIME rules apply as if the current 
day was a Sunday. So if you have a "DOWNTIME=60:0000:2359" (i.e. planned 
downtime all of Saturday and Sunday), then a red status on a holiday 
would show up as blue - planned downtime.

But if you don't want planned downtime on all sundays, then you cannot 
have such a downtime setting and then you cannot specify holidays as 
planned downtime.
