Tosefta for Chagigah 34:2
תנן עצרת שחל להיות ערב שבת ב"ש אומרים יום טבוח אחר השבת וב"ה אומרים אין לה יום טבוח מאי לאו אין לה יום טבוח כלל לא שאינה צריכה יום טבוח
It is taught [in a Mishnah]: [If] Shavuot falls out on Friday, the House of Shammai say, "The day of slaughtering [the excess pilgrimage-offerings] is after Shabbat. The House of Hillel say, "It does not have a day of slaughtering." What [does that mean]? It doesn't have a day of slaughtering at all? No (ie. it does not), because it does not need a day of slaughtering.
Tosefta Chagigah
We do not bring a thanksgiving offering on the Festival of Matzah (i.e., Passover), because of the chametz that is in it (see Lev. 7:13), nor on Shavuot because it is a Day of Slaughter ("יום טבוח", cf. Tos. Chagigah 2:7, Chag. 17b:2-6; alt. "יום טוב" ("[it is a] Yom Tov"), see Beitzah 19b:2 and GR"A here), but it is brought on the Festival of Sukkot, and one fulfills his obligation [of bringing a Festival offering] with it. Rabbi Shimon says, we do not bring a thanksgiving offering on the Festival of Sukkot, because everything that is brought on the Festival of Matzah [also] is brought on the Festival of Shavuot and the Festival of Sukkot. [Thus] a thanksgiving offering, which is not brought on the Festival of Matzah is not brought either on the Festival of Shavuot or on the Festival of Sukkot. Rabbi Elazar son of Rabbi Shimon says, a thanksgiving offering is brought on the Festival of Sukkot, and one fulfills his obligation of rejoicing with it, but does not fulfill his obligations of [bringing a] Festival offering with it.
