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!
“Blue Christmas” by Elvis makes me want to drive off the Blue Water Bridge! :-/ (Michigan reference)
Oh, oh, oh! I forgot the Rhianna Christmas song, and Santa Baby by Madonna…….all equally as horrifying.
If I never hear Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer again it will be too soon.
Feliz Navidad!
I’m also up to here with Jingle Bell Rock.
It’s a toss up between Little Drummer Boy (my all-time least-favorite Christmas song), and the Christmas Can-Can by Straight No Chaser, which is awesome until your teenage daughter plays it for 3 days straight!
I have a whole list! And there are several songs competing for the top spot. Sad to say, they are all equally qualified for that top spot.
Do they know it’s Christmas, all I want for X-mas is you, and Little drummer boy tend to be the top contenders. Or offenders. :-p
Totally agree on “Baby its cold outside” which is just too creepy for me.
If I never hear “Christmas Shoes” again, I will be happy. White Wine In The Sun by Tim Minchin, however, is one of my favorites, along with “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen.”
Enjoy the holidays everyone!
I am SO glad I don’t have to hear “Do They Know It’s Christmas” for another 11 months. So glad.
Wham’s Last Christmas. Such a crap song. And the lyrics make zero sense.
I’ll be relieved not to hear Holly Jolly Christmas. I’ve been moving and I’m definitely not in a jolly mood. Lol.
“Baby It’s Cold Outside.” It’s creepy.
as hard as i might have tried to stay away from malls and any holiday repeat play list location… ii failed miserably, and still managed to have jingle bells stuck in my head… it docent help that the bloody ice cream truck plays it on a look every time it comes around the neighborhood…. i kinda want to jingle hes overhead system…
The 12 Days of Christmas makes me want to plug my ears and scream. It just seems to go on forever.
About 20 years ago I worked for a big bookstore chain, and they had pre-recorded tapes of music they were required to play. One had a holiday song that was so obnoxious, we’d all start edging toward the break room a song or two before it, knowing it was coming. The employees stuck behind the cash registers or at the other end of the store would lose out while the rest of us bolted and hid for that one song.
I don’t know the name of it, but it involved a woman singing, in a saccharine-sweet voice, “Do you know it’s Christmas?” to which a chorus of children would tunelessly shriek “YES WE KNOW IT’S CHRISTMAS!”
I still shudder, thinking about it.
“Christmas Wrapping” by the Waitresses. My coworker would play it multiple times a day.
the song i never ever ever want to hear again is dominic the donkey i have no clue where it came from and havent heard it til this year however my son apparently loves it and it makes me want to crawl in a ball
“Do they know it’s Christmas?”…but only because of one line “…and there won’t be snow in Africa this Christmastime.” I hate that line…actually, I hate a lot of lines from that song…“where nothing ever grows, no rain or river flows”…Lies…all LIES!!! It is a great song…I loved that it was done, but anytime I hear that song now, I dissect the lyrics.
I suppose I wouldn’t want to hear “Grandma got ran over by a reindeer” but I think that’s only because of that Walmart commercial that played over the holidays
Grandma got run over by a reindeer! That song is always terrible.
Christmas Shoes, hands down!
I’m going to have to agree with the All I want for Christmas is You by ANYBODY!!! No matter which version it is it’s wayyyyy overdone and I am soooo tired of hearing it I want to plug my ears.
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. Hands down…
Ok for me it was the burping Jingle Bells song. This was the first year I’ve ever heard it and I hope it’s the last. Talk about taking away the Christmas spirit….. It was so gross. I guess it was a failed attempt at humor.
Santa Baby!!! Enough already!
Last Christmas, the Glee version. I swear I’ve heard it everyday several times a day for weeks now.
The Chipmunk song.
How about “Do They Know Its Christmas” by the group of 80s rock stars? I can’t stand that song. And my husband wont stop singing it.
White Christmas. Sorry, but I am sick of it. I dislike snow on the roads anyway and am glad for the warmer than normal tempatures. Thanks so much for the chance to win this great prize!
Any and all of the songs that are depressing. One of our local radio stations has been “all Christmas” since the first and all they seem to play is what I call Prozac carols. I like fun, I like peppy, I’ll even take traditional, but please for all that is holy can we do without Blue Christmas and all it’s weepy offspring?
Pretty much I think anyone has the talent to ruin a perfectly good Christmas song. Anything with Santa for me.
If I never hear Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer again, I won’t miss it in the least. Fortunately, I have managed to avoid most Christmas music this year, somehow.
last christmas by wham
Hey Santa by Wilson Phillips
Ugh. All of them.
Everyone is mentioning the most awful ones, I can’t really pick the song I will miss least. Let’s just say all of them, since they have been playing in stores since Halloween!!!
I must be the only person on earth who hates “the little drummer boy” but I can’t stand it. Rum pumpumpum? ugh.
Santa Baby. It seems like the radio plays it every other minute.
Santa Claus Is Coming to Town
