iphone 5 calendar problem

I have a new iphone 5 and use google calendars exclusively. I have used the google "iphoneselect" to select the calendars I wish to sync, including a subscription on my google calendars for USA holidays. I have unchecked all calendar sync options through itunes to ical. I don't use my ical calendar on my imac at all.

So everything seems to be great BUT all of the sudden, for example yesterday
being Columbus Day, my calendar on my iphone shows "Columbus Day" 18
times, YES 18!

So what I have done to get it to show properly - I have turned off my
goole calendars on my iphone under settings-accounts-gmail-calendars
turned off. I then open my iphone calendar and all my events are gone,
which I expect, BUT the 18 Columbus Days are still there. So I am
thinking this can't be a google issue. I then uncheck the home calendar
on my iphone in "Calendar" to turn it off too so there is Nothing in my
calendar. The 19 columbus day holidays are gone. YES Gone. I then sync
with itunes, making sure my calendar in itunes is not checked so no
calendars sync in hopes to clear everything that even may be cashed.
Now I go back to my settings on my iphone and add my google calendars
and everything looks great as it should be and I am happy for the time
being.

But then is a short time, the multiple holidays shows up again. Is there a holiday subscription on the iphone calendar that can be turned off or could this be google?

Has anyone else had this problem?
