Hmm, the events of Retribution and Deception are pretty intense, right? I'd have to read them again to be sure, but there doesn't seem to be much to suggest the events would have to span more than a few weeks. Besides, if it's only been like 5.5 months and Retribution takes, say, 3 weeks, it's as good as included in the 6 months :3

As for expressions of time passage during the Reaper war, 'a few weeks back' might well be used for anything between 3 and 8 weeks, while 'months ago' wouldn't necessarily have to mean more than 2 or 3 months, tops. If you give the total span of Retribution and Deception 3 months and the war 2 months, you've even got one month to spare and Santa won't have to dodge Reapers.
