The lyrics went: on the first day "of the SEASON" my true love gave to me.....insert gift item.
"Of the SEASON" was so offensive because of the replacement of the word Christmas. "Honestly, though," the thought came to me, "What in the world do they mean by 12 days?!"
It is clear they were parroting something they knew nothing about....as they attempted to avoid the word "Christmas" they highlighted the season.
Just the thought of hearing that makes me glad that I don't frequent the old news sources. Ick!
