Sorry for the delay in today's Hanukkah giveaway! I totally thought this went live this morning but it didn't. My bad! Blame all the fried food I've been eating – makes me sleepy!
Anyway, today's present for you from me is a chance to win a Kindle Touch! Yay! All you have to do is leave a comment with the one holiday song you are SO LOOKING FORWARD TO NOT HEARING ANYMORE.
ETA: I goofed! I want to be clear: this contest is for a Kindle Touch 3G with Special Offers! I linked to the WiFi-only model, but it's the 3G/WiFi/Special Offers model. My bad!
Me: “All I Want for Christmas is You,” which for some reason I have heard six millionity times this week, and “Jingle Bell Rock,” which makes my eyeballs twitch.
Standard disclaimers apply: I'm not being compensated for this giveaway. (I have to say, I'm amused at the idea of even asking someone to sponsor all this crazy. Imagine that conversation!) Your mileage may vary. Void where prohibited by law. Must be over 18 and wearing slippers to win. Open to international winners though it is your responsibilty to make the Kindle do tricks for you. Call before you dig. Preheat to 350.
Happy almost the end of holiday music on the radio, and Happy Hanukkah, and oh! Happy Boxing Day!
I have been hearing Santa Claus is coming to Town everytime I turn around so I’m ready for that one to go away.
Sorry, I can’t pick just one. Pretty much everything that plays in any store at this time of year makes me really love my iPod.
Feliz navidad is stuck in my head, would love to be rid of it.
If I never hear Michael Jackson’s “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus,” again, I will be a happy camper. It’s like an ice pick through my frontal lobes and EVERY radio station played it during my morning commute this month. Urrrgggghhh!
The Christmas Shoes. Lord help me, I turn the radio station every time. Who wants to hear a song about a boy whose mother is dying on Christmas??? I don’t even want to go there in my head.
I’m actually not sick of any of them this year. Which is shocking, but if I had to pick one it’d be any Kenny G one.
“Wonderful Christmastime” by Paul McCartney. It drives me NUTS.
Remakes of “Baby, It’s Cold Outside”. If it’s not Dean Martin, it’s creepy. Come to think of it…
I second Jane Peach on I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus. Also Blue Christmas, especially the Elvis version. I was scarred by those years ago while working retail during the holidays to make money for college textbooks. If I never hear either of those again, I will be happy camper.
Keep the chipmunks away from me! And those barking dogs. I’m so glad that I can now carry an iPod with me to replace the silly ones.
Most annoying Christmas songs EVER: Santa Baby (any version) and Charlie Brown/Peanuts (any song).
If I never hear Blue Christmas from Elvis again life would be grand.
With the three minutes of “Wonderful Christmastime,” Paul McCartney manages to undo every bit of greatness he accomplished with The Beatles. Last year I went to the Mall of America to do some Christmas shopping; in the space of an hour, I went into four stores and heard that song IN EACH OF THE STORES. FOUR TIMES IN AN HOUR. I wanted to write to Queen Elizabeth and ask her to revoke McCartney’s knighthood.
I’ve had enough of Jingle Bell Rock for the next several years
“Santa Baby.” My goodness, why was this song created? I’m sure someone somewhere really likes the song, but it makes me cringe so badly.
I’m going with Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer. But if we could choose more than one, I’d have several.
Like a few commenters, I am fine with all songs this year. Worked too hard, did most of shopping online, so if anything I heard too few 😉
Jingle Bell Rock and The Christmas Shoes. Oh how I hate those damn shoes.
I would be happy if I NEVER heard this song ever again: “I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas” by Gayla Peevey

I have heard enough of I I I I’m Dreaming of a Whiiiiite Christmas! The melancholy Sarah Maclachlan songs are beginning to take their toll, though I’m compelled to listen.
Just got back from the TSO Christmas show. Love it!!
Rockin around the Christmas tree gets my nomination for worst song
The Christmas Shoes. HAAAAATE!
George Straight’s Christmas Cookies. The local radio station uses it as a contest promotion, so it’s constantly on…….I went to audio books and Hair Nation on Sirus so I didn’t have to hear any of them any more!
A song I had never heard before, but the Staples I work at played four different versions of it. It’s a Marshmallow World.
Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer. I didn’t think it was amusing as a kid and it drives me nuts now.

I’m not sure of the name but I think it’s called Last Christmas. I hate it because it’s the SAME DAMN LYRIC OVER AND OVER ENDLESSLY!
The holiday date rape song “Baby it’s Cold Outside”. Is that the title?
Baby, It’s Cold Outside. Ugh, just ugh.
Bad Christmas jingles and music made up by the local news stations
Little Drummer Boy. It’s like water torture.
It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas
also, how many more years am I going to have to watch A Wonderful Life? My dh loves that movie.
Santa Baby …..I know this song is supposed to be sexy and come hither-ish but free hearing this on my Marvin Gaye holiday station in Pandora, I’m going bonkers. I love Eartha but she is killing me.
I have two tween girls…so definitely the Justin Bieber Mistletoe song 😉
Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas is just too sad and depressing. It drags me out of my Christmas happiness and makes me feel lonely.
I am not a fan of the pop remakes of traditional holiday songs. I am in my 30’s but love the older holiday songs.
Any and all versions of Santa Baby – every time I turn on the radio, within minutes this starts to play.
Also the Ronan Keating version of Fairytale of New York – I love the Pogues & Kirsty McCall singing it but Ronan Keating shudder
The Christmas Shoes! I wish I could destroy every copy and that drippy movie, too!
Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas! No more please, no matter how much I love Michael Buble!
I can’t take anymore of “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus”. I get weirded out about the time mommy starts tickling Santa under his beard.
