This concept of "yom tov" - a good day, involves the general prohibition of melocho, but retains the direct work that results in the final oneg. I believe it is not only a concept of the moadim (and would have as well been for Purim had the masses accepted it) but also for the bringer of a personal korban on the day he brings it.
In addition to "good yom tov" and "good year" (or the Yiddish or Hebrew equivalents) mentioned in other answers, I've heard "a gutn kvitl" or the equivalent "piska tava", meaning "a good note", referring to the judgement sealed on Yom Kippur and delivered on Hoshana Rabbah.
Translation: For this it was printed in the name of the Tosfot Yom Tov to make a Mi Sheberach on every Shabbat and Shabbat for whoever doesn't speak in synagogue nonsense, immediately after the Slichot of the 20th of Sivan, that the Tosfot Yom Tov authored for the event in which tens of thousands from Yisrael were killed in the year 408, They ...
Since there is a time delay, Rabbi Heinemann would consider the activation of tankless heater to be a gramma, which is permissible on Yom Tov. Therefore this should be fine to use on Yom Tov. His only concern was that maybe the system is so efficient and the thermostat so sensitive that there is not a time delay of a few seconds before the ...
"Yom Tov" while literally meaning "Good Day" is the idiom for a day that is "good" because of the spiritual level of that day. Thus, when spoken as a single phrase, the translation is similar to the English original "Holy Day" which we now use as "holiday". The Yiddish "Yumtuf" or "Yuntif" shows that it is used a a single meaning.
This is important, since the usual definition of a yom tov is of a festival day on which work is forbidden (cf: Rambam, Hilkhot Shevitat Yom Tov 1:1). That said, the festivals mentioned in Parshat Emor are all days on which it is forbidden to work, and the drash recorded in Machzor Vitry would seem to be explicitly likening Hanukkah to them.

If Yom Tov falls during the 30-day period of mourning (sh'loshim), the sh'loshim is terminated. This morning when the minyan got to the mourners' kaddish I noticed the pained expression on the face of someone who, a couple weeks ago, lost her husband of 60 years, and it made me wonder what the reasoning is.
Yes, we alternated between Good Yom Tov and Shana Tova. Okay, I even threw in a few "Hey's" for good measure. It is common for secular or less observant Jews to say "Good Shabbos" even on Tuesday of a non-Holy Day. But you introduced an interesting fact that some people say Good Shabbos on Yom Kippur. Appreciate it Dan. Good Shabbos! –
Even if there's no risk of the body decaying, the 2nd day of Yom Tov has the status of a weekday as regards burial. As I understand it, when they decreed the 2nd day of Yom Tov, they excluded burial and essential mourning - and hence it (and only it) is allowed.
