the radio's started playing christmas songs so it's Officially holiday season. happy december, you lot.
if you wanna play something of a secondary game to whamageddon (quick explainer for those who don't know: go from december 1st [that's 15 days ago!] to december 24th 23:59 [whichever timezone you identify with] avoiding "last christmas" by wham) (did you know that the 4k version on youtube was actually created from the masters instead of upscaling, which is why it looks fucking awesome?) (that's a tom scott video not a link to the song itself dw)...
something i cooked up the last 2 decembers: #christmaswrapped. hashtag optional. anyway: be on the lookout and get to listen to the entirety of "christmas wrapping" by the waitresses (including the jingling bells intro at the start) while you still haven't lost whamageddon.
obviously without going to youtube and listening to the song yourself or whatever. so, radio, maybe tv, maybe even malls (spotify radio/playlist i personally allow but eeeeh. you can see the whole of the playlist and see if the song's there, which isn't fun, no. but if it's being played by someone else, you know, you're at someone's place or so, that's still pretty good i think).
it's a fun game because the song is really good (not that "last christmas" is bad wham are fucking legends but you understand why whamageddon is a thing), but the band was an underrated two-hit wonder, the waitresses. i don't know exactly if it's a "staple" christmas song, certainly not to the level of "last christmas" or SIIIMPLY HAAAVING; it's the kind of song you'd find on Assorted Christmas Mix #46, so it could be a proper challenge. you could try speedrunning it (maybe next year?) and stumble into a radio that plays it at december 1st 00:01 or whatever (oh yeah radio request of your own doesn't count also!!!!), but even if you hear the jingling bells intro at 23:59 of december 24th, it's still a win.
