Since, he set to nil christian-holidays, hebrew-holidays, islamic-holidays,
solar-holidays, bahai-holidays, and oriental-holidays, he must have wanted only
general-holidays, local-holidays, and other-holidays.  For non-interactive use,
he'd simply write

    (list-holidays 2006 2006 (append general-holidays local-holidays 
other-holidays))

For interactive use it's a bit more complicated because he needs to define the 
list he wants:

     (defvar my-holiday-list
            (append general-holidays local-holidays other-holidays)
            "*My holiday list")
            
Then when asked for the list of holidays, he'd type "ask" and when prompted, 
"my-holiday-list".
