Sometimes "Fa la la la la, la la, la la," is enough to stir the heart; sometimes "Jingle bells, Batman smells," is the order of the day. Whether you're young, old, or otherwise, we all have our take on a remix of a classic holiday fave. Maybe, like our friends David Bowie and Bing Crosby here, it's a cross-generational affair.
Post your alternative take on a classic carol or a brand new holiday song you wrote on your Casio with cousin Steve, here.

Empty Chair at Christmas<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
There is an empty chair at our Christmas table
That was yours to fill
It’s been four long years since you left us
And we don’t know why – still
We’ve asked year after year
But no one will answer our query
Why was he arrested – why did he die
Please tell us what happened to Larry
No explanation! No records! Stop asking!
This is the official reply
From all the government offices
“He’s dead – let sleeping dogs lie!”
But we’ll not give up, my brother
Until we know what is true
There’s an empty chair at our Christmas table
That should have been filled by you
We’ll meet for dinner again some day
At the Lamb’s great Wedding Feast
You’ll have a sound heart and clear mind
No longer last and least
Until then we’ll help those like you
Befuddled confused afraid
In jail for mental illness
May our commitment never fade
