Christmas is the wrong time of the year. It's too early in the winter to be of any use. It needs to be moved to the end of January.
You see, the Christmas season is fun. Most people are cheerfull and the lights are pretty. With Christmas being where it is now you have it out shining Turkey Day. But more importantly, once Christmas ends you still have two months of winter to deal with. It's just too fricken early. Now, if it was at the end of January, you would already be halfway through winter. Wouldn't that be great!
Also, what's up with Christmas being so dang close to New Years. We need some breathing room here. Move it, dang it.

If you'd put your turkey day at a reasonable time, say, October, you wouldn't have this battle royal every year.

Christmas may have started as a religous holiday but that sure got lost along the way for most people. Now it's just an orgy of presents and lights, which I have no problem with. I say, for those religous folks, we just call Dec 25th what it is 'Jeebus-Day' and move Christmas to the end of January for my previously stated reasons.
Christmas is about presents, not food. There is no reason to get fatter on Christmas. As you said, cms2, Turkey Day is enough for eating.
Finally, why just have one holiday for a 10-12 hour bash. Why not have another one at the end of January?
