Pausing repeated tasks?

(closed account) says:
Hi There,
Is it possible to pause repeated tasks for a short period? For example, we're just coming up to the Christmas Hols, so there's a whole bunch of daily tasks that I don't need to complete. As they are currently set as repeated tasks, when I return in January I will have loads that are overdue that I'll just have to delete. What I'd like is a "pause" button to tell tasks not to repeat again until I say so (or "unpause" them).
Thanks

I use the 'after' option for a task I have to test my smoke alarms.
It repeats 1 week after I last tested it. I like to test them every 7 days but if I forget for a month or go on holiday it does not mean I need to test them 4 times on the day I return home.
@archaegeek - this option should answer your query?
