  I'm not sure if the Weasley's understand the connection of Yule and Christmas or that J.K. did not wish to go in to that matter. But Christmas is a magical time and she does like to focus on it. She wants wants Harry to understand the happiness of the season regardless of hw he was treated at the Durlsey's
