If not on BA metal then that's different and you need to be on the case, since some airlines get fed up waiting for BA and just cancel things. Hence there is a special queue for those bookings, and some agents forget or don't know about it. But that's not the case here. Personally I'd make a note to check after Christmas before doing anything more but I know some people would find that difficult.
