Ah, yes. Christmas music—the sweet soundtrack to your holiday joy, and my festive nightmare. This delightful character knows exactly what to say to anyone still humming Jingle Bells at full volume on December 26th: “My favorite carol is… Silence by Earplugs in D Minor.”

Because let’s face it, at a certain point, the endless looping of Feliz Navidad becomes less “holiday cheer” and more “holiday ear torture.” If you, too, are living in a world of jingling bells and off-key carolers, just know you’re not alone. Sometimes the best gift is a little peace and quiet.
