quote [ Puh-rum-pum-pum-pum, people.
It’s very easy: So long as you don’t hear “The Little Drummer Boy,” you’re a contender. As soon as you hear it on the radio, on TV, in a store, wherever, you’re out. ] I hate Christmas music with a passion. You can submit your win/loss (and let's be honest, it's gonna be a loss) here.

I think, per the rules, you have tricked folks and are auto-eliminated from play!

Perhaps it's a sign for personal growth; stop going.

I do a damn good job of avoiding Xmas music, but I also watch a lot (read: too much) TV, so it's bound to get me. LDB tends NOT to get to me, though. Hmmm.

The grocery store is what kills me. It's unavoidable.

The store I was just in played the David Bowie/Bing Crosby version. Does that count?

It counts as David Bowie singing a song so you don't have to hear that other song.

Nah, I feel like I should dispute that. I mean sure, someone in that song is singing the Little Drummer Boy, but its' like someone else in the same song is singing the antidote.

A contest where you could lose by listening to David Bowie doesn't make sense, because listening to David Bowie is always better than not listening to David Bowie.

Damn straight. And the bing/bowie ldb is one of only two Christmas songs allowed in Chez stubing. The other one is a fairytale of New York and both are allowed in December only.

"Blackmail your children!
God knows that that's the only... ...way that they'll behave! Let's sing more carols! Let's sing a song about cold... ...weather, drinks, and date raaaaaape!" "Cos we need a lot of Christmas! Stinking lot of Christmas! Giant wad of Christmas, til it's coming out our ears...!" (Sorry. No idea what came over me. I meant to say that I hate carols, too. I have a good chance of winning this game, but that's mostly because after ten years of working in retail, I never go into a shop this time of year without a working mp3 player. Also, I don't own a TV.) |

Most Christmas music is okay I think, but I hate the drummer boy with a passion.

Last Christmas I gave the little drummer boy my heart, but the very next day he gave it away.
