Meaning
The line uses a strong seasonal joke to show how one month can feel heavier than the rest, not because of weather alone but because of what it contains emotionally. It can be read as a portrait of obsession, routine, and the letdown after a peak event, with sports marking the last bright point before a dull stretch. It lands for anyone who feels the calendar more than the clock.
