Are you using database sessions?
Do you have webdeveloper add-on installed in firefox and can you see the contents of the cookie?

You forgot session_start();

Code:

<?php
    class Holiday extends Controller {

    function Holiday()
    {
        parent::Controller();
        session_start();
        $this->load->model($this->config->item('holiday_model'), 'holiday', TRUE);
    }

Don't worry I've done this like 4 times and I'm always baffled for a couple hours as to what is going wrong.

:-D
