I think this song follows The Snakepit for a reason. The Snakepit is about a Christmas party where the narrator feels completely locked down and miserable. This song follows by describing the opposite experience, still referencing Christmas but this time as a positive thing.
RS references Christmas a lot, and with true ambivalence because sometimes it's a wonderful thing and sometimes it's empty ("but Christmas falls late now, flatter and colder" in Last Dance). It would be interesting to put the songs that reference Christmas together and look for common themes.
