Javascript Check date and run the script

I would to run .js script only if the date is between December 15 and January 8 (of the next year) so the script will run for 25 days.

My code is: 

<script type="text/javascript">
var now = new Date();
var day = now.getDate(); // 0-31 Days
var month = now.getMonth()+1; // 0-11 Months
var startDate = new Date();
startDate.setDate(15);
startDate.setMonth(11);
var endDate = new Date();
endDate.setDate(8);
endDate.setMonth(0);

    if (startDate >= now && endDate <= now) {
        snowFall.snow(document.body);
    }

the .js file is located <script src="js/snowfall.js"></script>

What's wrong with the code?

My html/javascript code level is very bad, I'm a newbie

Thanks for the help!!!

Just change your condition from:

if (startDate >= now && endDate <= now)

to

if (startDate <= now || endDate >= now)

That works as the the dates are always of the same year, so startDate <= now works between 15.11.2017 - 31.12.2017 and endDate >= now will work between 1.1.2018 - 31.1.2018
