I really like this song. Do you know why one might think it is appropriate today? And why they would be wrong? A waffle is on the line. Enjoy
UPDATE: Well I think JB and I were going in the same direction on this question. However there were two other answers given that could work as well, however they were the wrong King Wenceslaus. So I will Officially declare it a tie and I will eat a waffle as my reward for making that judgement.

August 16, 1419 Death of Wenceslas in Prague (born in Nürnberg, Germany); German King, King of Bohemia and King of the Romans.
This is the feast day of St. Stephen, as mentioned in the song, but it is the wrong St. Stephen. The St. Stephen feast day referred to in the song would be December 26, "when the snow lays round about".
On August 16, 1419 King Wenceslas died.
