There are elements of Midsummer revels in parts of M&M so I think a discussion date of July 15 makes sense. Also, heat plays too much of a role in the book to really have it at Christmas, when people are cold when they go outside (at least, in the northern hemisphere, which is where most RAFhOles live).
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius
