I am glad it worked out for you.

That is definitely the way to go, I do the same:

You are welcome. However, I think that it would be better to check 
what exactly loads holidays.el in your configuration (I will 
venture a guess that it is a call to org-agenda), and wrap that 
part in a (eval-after-load 'holidays '(progn ...)), then you can 
get rid of unnecessary code and you do not need to move things 
around in your nicely organized org file ;-)

Best,
