Seasonal censorship

So, it's that time of year, again. Called The Holiday Season, because there are so many holidays packed so closely that no one can really be singled out. And each holiday has music. There are seasonal songs going back 1000 years.

But I'm an engineer. And, although it's generally considered pointless to reinvent the wheel, anyone who's shopped for tires knows that and engineer will always try to make the wheel better. Or different enough to sell.

So, I take existing songs and re-engineer (i.e., mutilate) them. Here are some choice examples:

For Halloween..
Deck the halls with lots of pumpkins,
fa la la la la, la la la la
Make them look like country bumpkins,
fa la la la la, la la la la
Don we Halloween apparel,
fa la la la la, la la la la
This is not a Christmas carol,
fa la la la la, la la la la.

A similar one for November is...
'Tis the season to eat turkey,
bock bock bock bock bock, bock bock bock bock
Cook it 'til it turns to jerky,
bock bock bock bock bock, bock bock bock bock
Visiting at my grandmother's,
bock bock bock bock bock, bock bock bock bock
Eating food that's cooked by others,
bock bock bock bock bock, bock bock bock bock.

These are just a sample of why it's kewl to be me. So far, so good. I compose these little ditties and share them. Children love them, and learn them, and sing them with me. But now...

It's now Christmas season. While this means different things to different people, and to some doesn't even mean "Christmas", my roommates want to teach their children Christmas songs.

Traditional Christmas songs.

So I'm now forbidden to teach them any new songs. And I have to stop singing the old songs to them. Where is the love?
