For those who know me really well, it will be no surprise to you to know that I have been listening to Christmas music on our computer and on my iPod for the last month to month and a half. It simply delights my soul so much, and I am more than eager for fall and the holiday season; it's my favorite time of year! Matt offered to make me a CD with a compilation of Christmas music to take with us to the hospital to play when I'm in labor (if that's possible). Despite how much my dearest hubby will try to comfort, encourage and cheer me on, which he'll do great at, I think he knows that Christmas music will be a top aid to help make me a gentler, kinder mommy in labor! <grin>
So, in light of of my ever-present desire to listen to Christmas music already, I thought I'd offer to have Spicy Magnolia's first bloggy giveaway! I mentioned in an earlier post that Travis Cottrell has a new Christmas CD coming out in October. If you want to get a preview of "O Holy Night", one of the songs on the Ring the Bells album, click here. It's amazing! So that's the prize: Travis' new Ring the Bells album. I will pre-order the CD for the winner (and one for myself <grin>) so the winner will have a brand-spankin' new Christmas CD just in time to listen to during the holiday season (the CD ships to arrive on or about October 7th).
The bloggy giveaway is so easy! Just leave a comment (by clicking on this blog's title and scrolling down to the comment section, or by clicking on the "comments" link at the bottom of this post) sharing either your favorite Christmas song or what you're looking forward to most about this fall/upcoming holiday season. Comments will close at 8:00 a.m (CST) on Tuesday, September 2nd (to try and give enough time for people to read the blog throughout the Labor Day weekend). The winner will be selected randomly from among the entries using Random.org's Random Integer Generator, and the winner will be announced at noon (CST) on Tuesday, September 2nd. Happy commenting, dear Internet peeps!
