Sometimes the best way to overcome annoyances is to embrace them and make them your own. To protest the way rampant commercialism has corrupted Christmas carols, O'Reilly author Michael W. Dean recorded "God Rest Ye Merry Bonzo." This "perverted Xmas music" mates a drum loop from Led Zep's "Bonzo" Bonham with vocals, bass, sleigh bells (!), and an e-mailed guitar track.
On a more expansive note, soundscape artist Darwin Charmber just released 3D Christmas Sound Effects (iTunes link). I'm sitting in the middle of its swirling virtual snowstorm as I type this.
Happy shopping — or nothing-buying. Please leave a link if you come up with your own twisted take on this raucous season.
