A total flyer here, It may be that the feasts were cultic in nature and that Job for whatever reason chose to exercise his office as priest for the family at that particular time. I think the point of the pericope is to establish that Job is an upright worshiper of yahweh and to set the scene for disaster as his children gather together.
