Sister's boyfriend and his karaoke obsession.

Sister has a boyfriend who I don't like but put up with to keep her happy. They are coming for Christmas staying with our parents. For the first time we are at ours for Christmas which I am pleased about. He has apparently paid to hire a karaoke machine for Christmas day. I hate karaoke I would have to leave the house for the day. He is planning on setting up in my hallway which is the main access to the rest of the house. The thought of not being able to talk for listening to him singing droney songs makes me mad. Ive told him no he is pissed off now he and my sister who I do want to see aren't coming. She is pissed off at me because I said no politely. I just said it'll be too much. Apparently it was a special treat and he has paid hundreds that he can't get back.
Unreasonable behaviour on my part or not?

@HappyDays40 saw a post on another thread that mentioned Christmas karaoke and was wondering what happened with this?

Ooh yes what happened?

But how was he proposing to get the Karaoke monstrosity to your house on Christmas day, if he doesn't drive?

Was he just going to have it delivered to the house, or was he expecting you to go and pick it (and them) up?

On the one hand, a new career could be opening up for you as a roadie/karaoke driver - but if that doesn't appeal, stick to your guns and tell him that you'll be doing Christmas "my wayyyyyyyyyyyy"!
