I cannot recall any reference in the books to Christmas either (ie just as there is no reference to Boxing Day), though there may be the odd reference to Christmas presents.
I'm sure you're right. But although it takes place in summer, don't forget the crucial importance of the blazing Christmas pudding scene in BS, in which Potter Heigham looms for the first time... And the Ds are involved and the first inklings of the Big Six arise.
