Here I am with another superfluous translation thread, sorry!

"Have a nice holiday!"

Thanks!

What do you mean by holiday? Spring break? Or a trip away somewhere?

If it's spring break something like 春休みを楽しんで下さい would be ok.

If it's a trip away then 休暇を楽しんで下さい would probably be ok too.

Except apparently if you use the -te form of a verb, you're supposed to spell out the following kudasai in hiragana. Except I don't think it's a big deal, and it's only relevant if you're going to be writing it down, like.

Yeah, I'm not 100%, but I just found out about it on the internet today, so I thought I'd mention it. There is definitely some sort of stylistic rule on the use of kanji in kudasai, though, and that one seems to make sense. I intend to google it some more later...

「下さい」は、漢字?ひらがな? - 教えて!goo

that one looks pretty good, Taurus. I mean, it's basically like a yahoo answers type of thing, but a native's intuition for that is good enough for me, even though a style manual could possibly say differently.

the second to last commenter said something that seems consistent with what you specified earlier, too.

That looks interesting - and there's another English discussion here.
