How does the setting affect the meaning of the story?

The book Silent Night by R.L Stine is affected by a setting. The story about the young and stuck up Reva Dalby has to have a setting of Christmas and winter time. If I were to set this in China or Florida the climate would be completely different because there can't be a Santa in the summer or spring. The reason why it can't be located in China is because they don't believe in Christmas and it can't be located in florida because they're sunny all-year-round.
