    Help, can’t travel to non Christmas country due to hand injury, any tips on how to avoid hearing “jingle bell rock”? Or the same 20 songs again and again everywhere. There must be something in the Geneva conventions against this.

        I mean I’m normally almost never home during this time of the year. But I’m stuck with a sling on my hand and constant physical therapy! Can’t escape. Now, I know to avoid any shopping. But I ran out of half-and-half. I believe that qualifies as an emergency. Now ears hurt.

        I’m nearing check out. I had noise canceling headphones with me but I left them in my bag in the car. When someone writes my obituary put that down as one of my biggest regrets.

        I woke up from surgery and asked the docs if I could go back to Hong Kong the next day. They were like sure, if you don’t mind losing function in your hand. I, sigh, decided to do the sane thing. Now I’m thinking it’s my left hand and I’m right handed. No more jingle bell rock!

        OK, I am safe and somewhat recovered. In the interest of further recovery, are there people who curate open playlists? Definitely need more music discovery channels. (All my algorithms are in a loop! Not that good for people who listen across genres.)

        Noise-canceling headphones?

        don't put the music on? don't go to a shopping center?

        I just stopped leaving my apartment and a lot of that cleared up for me!

        Makes you realize that maybe the Grinch had the right idea but the wrong execution.

        This is why I try to be especially kind to retail / hospitality people at this time of the year.

        I worked retail for at least 10 Xmas seasons. I don’t ever need to hear Jingke Bell Rock, Wonderful Christmas time, silver bells, little drummer boy or any of it ever again.
