That is EXACTLY what it means. That is a great thing, because
if you are in the top half of a category, why waste bidding a Christmas vacation for your primary vacation, and then not have a summer vacation? Just use your primary vacation for a nice summer week, then bid the first or second week of December for your secondary, tertiary, etc. Then for December bidding, just slide the vacation over Christmas and you are set.
This works for any other holiday period as well.
