I can just see Petunia insisting to her husband that it is in fact 
Christmas, and that they should send SOMEthing to Harry.  He scowls a 
bit, tells her he'll take care of it, then sends the toothpick and 
note to "take care of it."  She knows she has to keep him, he has no 
desire to do any such thing.
