I have planned a release that consists of four two-week sprints. During my planning, I found out that we will have a public holiday (one week) during one of the sprints. This means we will start the first week of the sprint, then have a one-week vacation, and then resume the sprint. Is that OK? Or do I need to replan to avoid that?

How are you planning to get empirical feedback on increments of usable quality in each of your Sprints? That's of more concern than how you choose to handle exceptional situations.
