They certainly didn't celebrate Christmas or Easter, or anything similar, because it was set in a pre-Christian time.
Before Christianity came along there was a mid-winter celebration, around the time of Christmas because winter's winter and you need something to cheer you up while you're half-way through. My mum always told me that was why Christmas was when it was.
