I can understand people wanting to keep a Christian Festival early, when they can't be with the people they'd like to celebrate it with
But why anticipate? Christmas lasts at least 12 days. Why not keep it with friends between Christmas and Epiphany, maybe even make a lot of Epiphany. It's a good time to give gifts after all.
As far as I can tell these days my celebration of Christmas overlaps for one day with the secular Christmas which appears to start in November and stop on Boxing Day!
