On any given day that Congress is in session, there are typically several of these sorts of resolutions - and there have been ones recognizing holidays of other religions. The more typical ones are recognizing individuals. There are often several a day recognizing people retiring from government service, for example.

Some staffer (probably an intern, who makes about enough money to share a house with 6 other folks in a dicy neighborhood) spent a half a day revising the text. The congresscritter's staff director, who is spending a few years doing that to make connections he or she can use for a high paid job as a lobbyist, spent a half hour reviewing it and handed it to the congresscritter. The member introduced it and it was voted on in maybe 10 minutes max.

Nobody whining over this seems bothered by the fact that Christmas is a national holiday.
