Odd Holiday Album From the 80's

My husband said he had an music album as a child that had a song for every holiday. I'd like to find it for him.
He said there were songs for St. Patricks Day, Valentine's Day, and Easter, among others. He remembers a little bit of the tune for the easter one, and the lyrics "Wiggle your nose, because the Easter Bunny knows". It would have had to been available in the mid-late 80s, but could be earlier.
It sounds pretty vague, sorry, but it also sounds pretty memorable? I hope this is enough to go on.

McGuire Sisters - Children's Holiday? The song "Billy Bunny" has lyrics about nose-wiggling and features the Easter Bunny, but it's not a 100% match to his memories of the lyrics.
It looks like it's not out on CD (that I can tell) but it looks like it's available used on vinyl for cheap enough.

A few questions:
1) The Valentine's Day song - are the lyrics "I love you/Happy Valentine's/Yes, I do/Love you/Love is such a wonderful feeling"?
2) The Halloween song - does it include the question "What time is it, old witch?"
3) Is there a song on it that contains the lyrics "I like to play in the snow, ho ho/And shiver and shake in the snow, you know"?
Because if so, a call to Mom Freedom will clear this up in 2 seconds, as I had the same tape.

Ok, sad news, Mom Freedom suggested the Wee Sing tapes and those are not it.
I am still searching for this answer.

Response by poster: Those aren't it, but thanks for looking. He's very certain about "wiggle your nose", less sure about the easter bunny knows rhyme. It also had a song called "Hanukkah, the Festival of Lights", but that's not terribly googleable.
