Don't know how writers felt about it, but it got reversed, and Dick is back to being a child when his parents died. Of course, that should have knock-on effects, particularly in his relationships to Alfred and Bruce, but it doesn't, really. Ric being part of that, of course.
Christmases and other holiday issues (and even seasons passing) must always be ignored. To otherwise invites insanity. Of course, repeatedly killing Santa as DC is wont to do also muddies things if you take it into account.
