Very interesting, HellsBells. I did not know that!

And taking that White Christmas idea across the pond, the iconic "The Night Before Christmas" written in 1823 (just ever so slightly prior to the Victorian period, but close enough) by Clement Clark Moore in central New York state has that kind of white snowy imagery. That poem has become the basis for many of the traditions in the US.
