So maybe there are a few people that refer to the season as you say.

I am surprised you never heard of that. I guess you are not into science where the seasons are determined by the rotation of the earth around the sun and not by business calendars.
Actually at one time in history they did line up where the seasons and calendar were taken from the same source. Unfortunately the Julian calendar misses a few days over the years and the Winter Solstice drifted a few days, hence the start of the year is no longer Winter Solstice. Historically the start of the year used to be the vernal equinox in most cultures, except Roman.
