Hanukkah Day Six: Touchable Hanukkah!

Book CoverSorry 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!

  1. Oh, that’s a tough one, but I’d have to say that if I don’t hear Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree or It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas for at least 11 more months I’ll be a very happy camper, those two were ear-worms for me whenever I’d lay down and try to sleep one of them would pop into my head just as I was about to drift off…………………….. ;(

  2. Rebeca Willis-Conger says:

    I say Mariah Carrey. All the way gone.

  3. Here Comes Santa Claus.

  4. Melissandre says:

    “Happy Holidays,” that Andy Williams piece of dreck.  Any song with the lyrics “whoop-de-do and dickery dock” needs to be destroyed.

  5. Karen S says:

    Please please please no more 12 Days of Christmas!! I keep getting trapped in this song with all the gold rings and birds. And contrary to popular belief, this song does not get better when little children sing it. *shudder*

  6. Nicky Cheng says:

    Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas”. I probably heard it 50 times holiday shopping at the mall.

  7. Heather Anne Hall says:

    I avoided the local radio station that switched to Christmas music back in early November. But I was stuck hearing it almost everywhere I went. So ready to be done with all the music.

  8. Julia D says:

    Frosty the snowman makes my teeth ache

  9. Lesley D says:

    I am totally ready to not hear Jingle Bells anymore!!!

  10. TheOriginalDramaMama says:

    I cannot stand the one where the kid wants to buy his mama some new shoes for when she goes to meet Jesus. That song kicks my gag reflex into high gear.

  11. Oh god, can I say all of them? But if I have to pick it’s a tie between I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Clause by The Ronettes and Madonna’s Santa Baby. Their voices… ugh.

  12. Sylvie Weir says:

    Little drummer boy. Horrible song, usually sung horribly, that gets stuck in your head and drills a hole in your brain.

  13. I am so tired of “Grandma Got Run over by a Reindeer” and “Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas”

  14. White Christmas.  Not only is it annoying after the umpteenth time, but as a Floridian it just strikes me as so very, very wrong.

  15. Aubrey Dunnuck says:

    Jingle Bell Rock, for sure.

  16. PamG says:

    The Christmas Shoes.  Bleah!  I just love being emotionally manipulated for Christmas.

  17. If I hear anyone sing “Wonderful Christmastime” by Paul McCartney I seriously may spike eggnog with mistletoe and drink heavily from the poisoned nog! 

    Geesh…now I’m singing it my head.  Anyone got any mistletoe left over?

  18. Julie in AZ says:

    “Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow” because every time I hear it I start singing “This job blows, this job blows, this job blows.”

  19. Shogroian says:

    Little Drummer Boy- every.single.version.is.wrong.

  20. Sally says:

    If I ever hear “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus” again, it’ll be too soon!

  21. Santa Claus is Coming to Town by the Jackson 5.

  22. Alona says:

    I don’t know why, but I kept hearing Wham’s “Last Christmas” every day on the radio.  Enough already!

  23. Heather says:

    Is it bad that I can’t think of one that I don’t want to hear anymore? (Disclaimer, I *like* Christmas Carols.)

  24. Hmr28 says:

    Grandma got run over by a reindeer for sure!

  25. Shannon N says:

    As a grocery store employee, I have had enough of pretty much every Christmas song by this point. However, the top two I absolutely can’t stand any more are “Last Christmas” and “Baby It’s Cold Outside”

  26. Jennifer Meriwether says:

    The one that drives me insane is We Wish You a Merry Christmas. That one just will not leave once it gets into my head and it’s so repetitive.

  27. Carin says:

    The one about buying mom some red shoes.  That one.  Never ever again.  Please.

  28. Henofthewoods says:

    Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer – because I don’t even like the sound of the song, much less the stupid icky story it tells.

  29. Copa says:

    Jiggle-bell rock, without a doubt it is my most hated holiday song.

  30. Erin says:

    Santa Claus Is Coming To Town. Hate. It.

  31. dominick the donkey… 🙁

  32. The Bruce Springsteen Santa Claus is Coming to Town. It only has about five notes, but that is two too many for Mr. Springsteen to reach. So terrible!

  33. Simbablood says:

    “I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas”. Enough already.

  34. TGail says:

    Any of the hard rock versions would be on my list, I think.  The whispery-crooney styles probably would be, too.

    Thanks, again, for the chance!  Happy, happy holidays!

  35. emily says:

    The Grinch song. As much as I like the movie, I can never get it out of my head after I’ve heard it on the radio.

  36. Terez says:

    santa baby- gawd that song sucks

  37. sweetsiouxsie says:

    “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” !! Good riddance until next year!!!!

  38. Terez says:

    Happy Hanukkah

  39. Diana P. says:

    If I never have to hear Santa Baby I will be the happiest person in the world. Why do you have to add sex appeal to everything, including a jolly old man?

  40. Audra says:

    Anything with barking dogs or meowing cats. Why people think that’s funny I will never know. Dig your ear drums out with teaspoons is more like it.
