Ever wonder what they mean: Currier & Ives

Many of you may know the song I'm talking about... sung by the angelic Karen Carpenter and her brother.  The title of the song is 'Sleigh Ride' and the lyrics go something like this:

There's a happy feeling
nothing in the world can buy
When they pass around the coffee
and the pumpkin pie
It'll nearly be like a picture print
by Currier and Ives
These wonderful things are the things
we remember all through our lives!
 
Have you ever wondered what they were talking about? Below are some memorable scenes:
 

 
Additionally, I'm a huge fan of Norman Rockwell:
