How to a prevent guests from checking in on specific days?

I have looked at the calendar settings and can only find how to keep guests from checking in on (for example) Saturdays. But this affects every Saturday, not just one Saturday.

I specifically want to set it so people cannot check in on Thanksgiving Day or Christmas Day when I will be spending time with Family.  I don't want to deal with potential needy guests who bombard me with texts upon arrival. As we all know, the day of arrival is when 95% of guests have questions/problems/etc. I won't be home to deal with potential guest issues when checking in on these days, so I want to eliminate that option.

I don't see an option to prevent check ins on specific days short of blocking the day. I don't want to do that; I just want them to have to check in at least the day before.

@Stephanie365 switch on pro tools from your account (they are available to all) and then set a ruleset and apply it to the day(s) you want.
