Little Drummer Boy Challenge 2025

Hey all, as some of you know, we do the “Little Drummer Boy” challenge each year.  It’s really simple, if you hear the “Little Drummer Boy” song between Black Friday (Nov 28 at 12:01 AM in whatever time zone your in) and Christmas Eve ( Dec 24 at 12:01 AM) your OUT.  Also, for those playing “The Game”, you’re out too. haha. One does not need to hear the full song to be out, as long as one recognizes it as the song, your done.  This includes samples and remixes and whatever else you want to call it, if it’s the LDB, you’re out. Nor does it matter where you hear the song, at home, in a store (ha like any of us go out), driving or whatever, it all counts.  Now, if someone tries to trick you or RickRoll you into hearing it, you are safe and they are out.  The full challenge rules can be found here.

I hope to make it this year, but my family thinks the challenge is dumb, and won’t help me out to nawt hear the song, so it’s not looking good for me again. Hopefully you can do better than me. I think that I mentioned this in one of the threads, but oldest asked if I still did this challenge, and was upset that she heard it last weekend and was out. She was kinda happy when I explained that it doesn’t start until Black Friday, so was still in. I also made the joke about her being out of “the game”, which she also knew about.

There was a suggestion to also do Whamageddon, which is just like the LBD but with Wham’s “Last Christmas” song instead.  Official rules here. This one is different in it’s ONLY the original song that counts, where LBD is anything like it.  Honestly, I’m not sure that this challenge is possible if you do anything out of the house or any social media in the next month.  But I’m going to try, as why not.  I also expect to be out of the whamageddon by the weekend.  That song is so overplayed, and covered, that it’s everywhere now.

I’ll post this on the sidebar and we can update the post as we fail in the challenge.

Good luck everyone.
