Not at all: if you inherit from any of the many pagan (that is, non-
Christian) religions that celebrated midwinter festivals, or the old 
Roman Saturnalia festival that Christianity itself inherited Christmas 
from, you shouldn't raise an exception.

Alternatively, you can delegate to any object that understands about 
holidays, parties, celebrations and gift-giving.
