I like Tom Lehrer and medieval ballads too (not sure I've heard too many morbid medieval ballads). Unfortunately, since HS I've been exposed to people who feed off anger, who look hard for ways they can imagine themselves wronged so they can feel gleeful and self-righteous about being vindictive and cruel. This song now reminds me of them. I'm glad that for some folks it's just a silly song (really). Certainly the original is silly fun, with all those gifts. I wonder if it was an early cry against the commercialization of Christmas? ;-)
