I believe the answer is:

passover

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'disregard holiday' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to time as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'disregard holiday' is the wordplay.
'disregard' becomes 'pass' (I've seen this in another clue).
'holiday' becomes 'over' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'pass'+'over'='PASSOVER'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for passover that I've seen before include "Disregard - Jewish festival" , "spring festival" , "feast - with 25a" , "religious festival" .)
