As Rota Said, you have to stop all research, stop all construction, and stop all troop training. In addition all your troops most be inside one of your cities, they can't be camping a Valley or in an Alliance Mates city. Also Holiday mode only protects your cities, any and all of your valleys are still attackable so if you have a lot of enemies, or taking a Long Vacation you may come back to all your Valleys taken from you.
