Or go very, very, very far outside. Like, into the woods. This may be necessary if you have inconsiderate neighbors playing Christmas music you can hear through the walls.
I came home yesterday and started singing a particularly famous christmas song that I will not name in fear of infecting you with the virus. But I hadn't heard the song anywhere, or at least I could not remember. Out loud, I began to sing it, right there in the kitchen, and when I realized it I felt fear. Now it's gone again, and I don't know when it'll come back.
The article says the longest Christmas song is 16.5 mins... not even close. I know, it's just the songs that matched their keywords... but Lindstrøm did a Christmas-cheer-draining 42 minute long version of Little Drummer Boy a few years back https://www.theguardian.com/music/2009/dec/11/lindstrom-litt... - and yes, it's a real thing on vinyl, not just another youtube '10h of jingle bells'.
I thought for sure this article was going to be in reference to the work of Dr Joe Bennett, a Boston Conservatory musicologist, who supposedly created the perfect Christmas song after analyzing the 200 most popular Christmas songs. I was surprised, but it's actually quite good.
