It's that time of year again, and with less than a week to go, it's time to get this out there.

The Little Drummer Boy challenge consists of a month free from hearing the holiday song "The Little Drummer Boy", from the day after thanksgiving to Christmas day.

You hear it, you're out.

Winners get bragging rights and the satisfaction of knowing that you survived another year free of this abomination.

This thread is up to track everyone's progress through the Christmas season.

I work at a store so I've already lost.

I've also heard that Alvin and the Chipmunks Christmas song no fewer than three times today.

The hell you say. It's not even Thanksgiving yet. I swear they start the marketing sooner and sooner each year. In a few years we'll see stores advertising for Christmas starting in February.

One of the stations here is already playing Christmas music. Seems like it had been since the election. Fuck!

I think I lost last year because of the damn Arrow mid-season finale. Came out of fucking nowhere...but fuck it, I'm in again!
