Amos --for all of my nearly 39 years, I've seen far more snow in late January and February than in December... I am much more likely to go "Dashing in a one horse sleigh" on Valentine's Day than I am on Christmas...
(and since the second verse tells how the horse spooked and tipped the sleigh over, leaving the two courters inside to snuggle up with nowhere to go, it'd make a fine Vantine's Day song)
