Even though I dreaded (even hated) going out in Service on a holiday, my method was to knock on the door, hand the householder a tract, and leave.
But, I absolutely HATED and DETESTED my Monday night Book Study (Labor Day and Memorial Day). You're off from work but you can't really relax because all you're thinking about is, "I've got my damn meeting tonight! CRAP!"
The same applies on Thursday nights (Thanksgiving) or any night a holiday falls on a meeting night.
