I always chalk up fictional universes as being translated to you as storytelling. The Whos probably don't even speak English anyway so everything is translated and what we call Christmas is a crude translation from whatever they call it. I seek solace in that they celebrate a pagan gift giving tradition with decorating similar to our Christmas but without the Christ.

This is blasphemy against Whosus. In Whoville you would be burned in the grinch skin during midwhommer
