Nope, that won't come close to working.

You can't use document.write() in an AJAX function. You can't use it in *ANY* code that executes after the page is fully loaded. Period.

Once again, if you are going to use AJAX, why not connect it to ASP.NET code and thus to a database??

Code:

function checkForHoliday( dateToTest )
{
    jQuery.get('isHoliday.aspx?date=' + dateToTest, function (data) 
    {
        if ( data == "YES" ) { ...set your radio button to holiday... }
    });
}

And then have a dirt simple ASP.NET page that gets that date in its querystring, checks it against a calendar of holidays, and returns nothing but "YES" or "NO".
