Where is the word Christ in Winterval?
Winterval was a word to describe the multicultural events over the 'Christmas' period. to include all cultures and not to exclude other religions.
'They' celebrated it as normal because they could hardly cancel it.
Here's a piece on GMTV.

Found this on the subject on Wiki:

The council responded that "Christmas is the very heart of Winterval", saying that Christmas-themed events were prominent among those included in Winterval, and that Christmas-related words and symbols were prominent in its publicity material. While the Winterval season was longer than the Christmas season, Christmas was the focus of the relevant portion of Winterval.

Sound pretty much like Christmas was celebrated as normal there, along with other events.
