Tosefta for Chagigah 34:3
ומאי קמ"ל דמקרבינן ביומיה הא איפליגו בה חדא זימנא דתנן ב"ש אומרים מביאין שלמים ואין סומכין עליהם אבל לא עולות וב"ה אומרים מביאין שלמים ועולות וסומכין עליהם
And what does this teach us? That we bring the offerings on the very day [of the festival]? They have already argued about it once, As it is taught [in a Mishnah], "The House of Shammai say, 'We bring peace-offerings, though we do not lean on them, but not elevation-offerings.' And the House of Hillel say, 'We bring peace-offerings and elevation-offerings, and we lean on them.'"
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.
