    Made a trip to Costco just now and survived unscathed. Hell, I don't even know if they were playing music I was so focused on getting my stuff.

    Double Immortality.

    That's rough, man.

    Edit: They were playing Christmas music at the home goods store we went to today. I was somewhat surprised, but the dreaded notes were not intoned and nobody came to tell me shit, so we're still in it, bay-beeeeeeee.

    Crap, I thought this started on the 1st but I'm still in. We've been listening to my wife's Bing Crosby playlist every morning, no dreaded pa-rums yet but there's still so much time.

    Last year I lost because she wanted to take a detour when leaving BestBuy and admire a light that I already had sitting in our closet for her present.

    Went for a jog with my wife and kids this morning as part of a virtual 10k.

    My wife decided to set her phone to a Christmas station for us to listen to as we jogged.

    Mele Kalikimaka is as close as I got to elimination. :)

    Turns out I am going to be living with my folks for a month until my next apartment becomes available, so my danger level just upped dramatically.

    Got my Christmas lights up outside. My Trump sign holding, Sturgis going, neighbor was putting up his lights and he had music going. Made it through safety.

    Once again I've been gotten by my own mother with the same harp rendition, this time while I was stuck eating lunch as she decorated.

    At least I wasn't the first this year!

    I need a judge ruling. Before I watch the three MST3K Christmas episodes I need to see if Tom's singing in the very opening bit would be a disqualification. I have not listened to it this year, I only remember it from past years.

    If I hadn't been taken out by the harp version at lunch it would have been the bagpipe version played just now at dinner

    Side note, but the fact there's multiple versions of the exact same set of unchanging songs every year is part of why I hate hearing holiday music in general. Exceptions are made for the exceptional that aren't spammed ad infinitum, like I Am Santa Claus to the tune of I Am Iron Man

    Do I get in?

    Thing is I unofficially followed along last year and I never heard it. I even remembered to strain my ears when I went shopping and coming to the realization that the two main stores I frequent don’t even play music. So, uh, this might be too easy for me...

    Also I think I may have asked for the same ruling last year but I can’t remember.

    I don’t know! I can’t listen to it in case it does count!

    Huh weird. I can’t find past year threads to check. I think you cleared it before.

    So, earlier today, after playing Christmas music during our jog, my wife put on the Christmas music station in the car as we were getting ready to go pick up a lid for her new fish tank.

    And I went back in the house to grab my alternate mask.

    As I was coming back out, The Song came on.

    Did she change the station? Did she temporarily mute it?

    No.

    She let me get back in the car with it playing even though she knew about the challenge.

    This is twice now she's eliminated me through her poor music choices. I suspect she's conspiring with the other entrants. :D

    I'm in, albeit late, but I haven't been anywhere since Thanksgiving and haven't heard it yet.

    That may fall under the "no one can intentionally trick you into listening" case?

    I successfully decorated the tree with no casualties

    Doesn’t sound like she put it on intentionally. Therefore my ruling is...OUT

    thank you for this because I have no idea what the clip sounds like, and it was absolutely KILLING me that I couldn't check for myself and satisfy my curiosity

    (for anyone who's still worried, it's totally safe - it's Deck the Halls, not that little drumming bastard)

    It's impressive how many have fallen already. Perhaps this will be more of a challenge than I thought.
