John's explanation doesn't make sense. Most people would be disgusted about a child being murdered on any day of the year. And being killed on 12/26, in the early hours, is just as horrifying as being killed on 12/25. Heck, most people consider the entire month of December to be the Holiday season, and if they heard about a child killed on 12/10, they would remark about how it's so close to Christmas.
But if someone is walking in a cemetery, and sees the grave of a 6-year-old, I think that any date right around Christmas...12/25...12/26...12/24...might get a "OMG, she/he died right near/on Christmas" whereas a gravestone that says the child died on July 10 would just get, "OMG, this little girl/boy was so young when they died".
