It’s a desperate game of Name That Tune to see if I’m still in the running: From the second I step through those sliding doors, I am hyper-aware of all aural input. It turns even normal, everyday trips to the grocery store into tense seek-and-retrieve missions. I really enjoy the constant paranoia of the LDB game. I’ll be completely honest with you: this is the thing I look forward to every holiday season. – The game starts as soon as I hear the first Xmas song (not the day after Thanksgiving, which is standard among my group of friends). There are a few modifiers, but the house rules I play by are as follows: What is the reward for going the full Christmas season without hearing “The Little Drummer Boy”? It’s in malls, chain stores, grocery stores, mini marts, it’s on the radio, it’s on call waiting, it’s in restaurants. This time of year everyone plays Christmas music and the ugly truth is, we all hate hearing it because it is so overplayed. Until you realize how overplayed this song has become.
Once you hear the song, you’re out of the game. Here’s how to play, as laid down by my buddy Wally: You may’ve heard of it: It’s called the “Little Drummer Boy Game”. Also considered for the title of this post: “Pa-Rum-Pa-Pum-PANIC”.Ĭhristmas is coming, and that means one thing: omnipresent paranoia.
