Do not lessen your daily rate- you will end up being mad at yourself about it in the end.

I did the same thing with regards to holidays, and really struggled during thanksgiving and Christmas last year. To fix the situation, I updated my handbook and made a holiday calendar, listing all of the days that I will be closed, and the days that they have to pay.

Example: Memorial Day, Monday, May 28th, 2012 Closed/PAID HOLIDAY.

The only holiday I did not make have pay for is the day after thanksgiving. I did not have a single complaint from anyone when I made these changes.
