"Make up" has a few different meanings. In this video, it means to create or invent something that isn't real, in Spongebob's case, a holiday. A: I don't want to go to the party tonight, but I don't have an excuse of why I can't go. B: Why don't you make something up? Ex: We need to make up a story. Ex: Should we make up an excuse? I don't want to go tonight.
