No, all you have to do is set the hosting interval wide enough to cover the holiday break (240 hours or something like that), and/or postpone the current turn by a similar amount of time... You can't turn off the timer directly, but that's not necessary.

The only time you'd want to turn off quickhost is if you're going with a *strict* hosting schedule where deadlines are always on the same hour... and even then, it'd be better to let the turns host as soon as possible and manually push back the deadline to the hosting hour. I can't really see the point of fixed deadlines like that if hosting is automated, though (it's another story if you're hosting by hand).
