I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…

At Midsummer the Oak King is at the height of his strength, while the Holly King is at his weakest. The Holly King begins to regain his power, and at the Autumn Equinox, the tables finally turn in the Holly King's favor; he later vanquishes the Oak King at Yule.
"It's all the same to me, war or peace,
I'm killed in the war or hung during peace."

I always thought Holly King ruled this time of year. I remembered it by associating the holly with Santa.
