Episode 127

'Tis the season to be jolly, or so they say. But for me, it's the season to plug my ears and run for cover. Why, you ask? Because of those relentless, earworm-infested Xmas songs that invade the airwaves like a festive plague.

You see, I've declared a personal war on these jingling, sleigh bell-ringing, repetitive pieces of auditory torture. It's not that I'm a Scrooge; I just value my sanity. The constant barrage of "Jingle Bells" and "All I Want for Christmas Is You" is enough to make me want to hibernate until January.

So, I've instituted a strict ban on Xmas songs within the confines of my ears. My headphones are now equipped with an anti-Christmas-song force field, and I've mastered the art of the preemptive "la la la" to drown out any unsuspecting carolers.

I've even considered starting a support group for fellow sufferers of this holiday melody madness. We'd meet in soundproof bunkers, armed with noise-canceling headphones and survival kits filled with chocolate and funny cat videos.

Now, don't get me wrong; I'm not against celebrating the holiday spirit. I just believe it can be done without subjecting ourselves to the same playlist of cheer-induced madness year after year. Imagine a world where "Last Christmas" isn't the soundtrack to every shopping trip or elevator ride.

So, as the first notes of "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town" ring out, I'll be donning my earmuffs and retreating to the safety of my Xmas song-free zone. Call me the Scrooge of sleigh bells—I wear this title with pride. After all, 'tis the season to be sane.

So here are some of my best old and new,but certainly not festive.
