Does it matter if I miss a run on xmas Day?

I'm training for my first marathon and am following the Hal Hilgdon Novice 2 programme.  I've already started the programme and by the time Xmas comes around, I will be repeating some earlier weeks, bringing me back up to week 7 again.  I've done some calcs, because I obviously have too much time on my hands today at work!   And on Xmas day, I should be running a 7 miler.  This is only an hour's cardio, but with 2 kids indoors and having to get glammed up, would it matter if I did my 7 miler on Xmas eve instead and missing a weekly session?  I don't really want time away from the kids on Xmas day and am wondering if it's that big of a deal, even though I am training for the London Marathon?  I will have under my belt a 15 miler and I would have been following a marathon training programme for about 10 weeks.  If I do manage to get out, then great, but the kids come first on Xmas day, not me! Thanks for your replies.
