There are probably several good ways to deal with this: here is what I do. I would create a task called "wait for Memorial Day" and I would give it a start and due date of the day after Memorial Day. Then I would select all of the tasks that might be active on Monday and (with all of them selected at once) add a dependency on the task "wait for Memorial Day". Depending on my mood I might also sat the "wait for Memorial Day" task to have max importance, a star and maybe a flag. On Monday all of these tasks will be hidden by their unsatisfied dependency, except for the "wait for" task which will be hidden by a future start date. Tuesday morning I will see the "wait for" task at the top of my list, when I mark it complete all of the other tasks that were postponed will activate.
The above option works if you are working from a listing of active tasks because it makes the postponed tasks inactive. If you are not working from an active task list, you may prefer this approach first reported by Lisa S (Are you still reading us, Lisa?) Wait until less than a month before Memorial day to do this (in other words, the instance before Memorial day is completed and Memorial Day is shown as the next start date. Be sure that the tick box for "do not create a completed copy" (in the Advanced Options page of the Recurrence popup) is *clear*. Mark the task completed. This will result in the one task becoming two: a completed non-recurring task for Memorial Day and an uncompleted recurring task scheduled for a month after memorial Day. Select the completed task and clear the completion box. You now have an uncompleted task for memorial day and a repeating task set for a month later. You can now reschedule the Momorial Day task however you like without any effect on the subsequent instances of the task.
