Alternatively plan the rounds so that you have 2 weeks for the Christmas round and have it go from Dec 18 to Jan 1 (2015 example), pausing only for Dec 25th.

Agreed. In fact I posted a similar objection to the waste of time over Christmas (and between rounds) some time back.

I agree that we might see some variation in strategy but I think you have it backwards. The shorter the round, the less likely it would be that any serious wars would be fought. Five weeks simply wouldn't allow time for a top alliance to recover from any significant losses so the winner would always be an alliance which avoided fighting.
