The Trials of a Busy Mom

Rejoice and be Merry

Anyone who knows me knows I LOVE a contest. I just love to win things, don’t you? Well, I also love to give things away, and so do a lot of other bloggers out there. Hence, the Bloggy Giveaways Carnival was born. You can click on over there to enter lots and lots of contests this week, if you’d like.

As for me, I’m in the celebratin’ mood. And it’s NOT too early to start listening to Christmas music, contrary to what my husband thinks.

I would like to offer you, lovely reader, a copy of the newly released CD Rejoice and be Merry! Christmas with the Mormon Tabernacle featuring the King’s Singers.

This concert last year was absolutely fabulous, and I enjoyed being a tiny part of it. My hands down, listen to it over and over again song from this concert would have to be “O Holy Night.” You can listen to it here, if you’d like a little preview. As I listened to the King’s Singers performing this song, I thought, “this is what heaven sounds like”. Is that not the most beautiful arrangement of ‘Oh Holy Night’ you’ve ever heard? And I think it would be worth it to buy this CD JUST for that song. But no, that’s not the only song on the CD! My other favorites include “Sussex Carol”, “Rejoice and be Merry”, and “Angels from the Realms of Glory”. Why yes, those are all songs with featuring the handbell choir, how did you know?

And on a personal note, when you click on that link, see if you can find me. If you do, and tell me where you found me, I’ll give you an extra entry for this contest. What do I look like?

(Ok, I have to clarify here. I’m not IN the video, but I am SOMEWHERE ON THE PAGE that the video is on. Kind of like a where’s Waldo. You should be able to see me before you actually play the Oh holy night video. Does that make sense?)

And how do you enter? Just leave a comment. Tell me your favorite Christmas song. That’s all. See how easy it is to win things here. Of course, if you win, you will be required to be forever my friend and loyal reader and commenter here on the blog. But that’s not asking much at all! So go ahead, enter the contest, and enjoy entering all those fun contests this week. I’ll be drawing a winner on Saturday, November 1st. Good luck!

    My favorite Christmas song? Well, right now it is Feliz Navidad because that’s what my 2 year old daughter keeps singing already. I do love the Forgotten Carols though. Thank you for a great giveaway – I have one MoTab Christmas CD but it is from forever ago. I’d love a newer one 🙂 Thank you!

  2. Janice

    I so want to win this one. My favorite Christmas song is “Angels We Have Heard on High.” I sang it with BYU choirs many years ago and it has remained majical to me.

  3. Nancy

    My favorite Christmas song is all of them! But if I have to choose… Cheastnuts roasting on an open fire or… A Song for a Winter’s night… see I can’t even choose when you force me to! Thanks for the giveaway.

  4. Trish

    I loved that concert too! I have to agree that O Holy Night was my favorite! It was amzing to hear it in person!

  5. Gettysburg Mom

    I like most Christmas songs- much to my husband’s chagrin, but really enjoy Winter Wonderland. Thanks for hosting a great giveaway!

  6. andrea nielson

    I love a ton of christmas songs but probably my favorite is Mary did you know?

    Mary Did you Know! But in the more traditional scene The Holly and the Ivy and Silent Night.

  8. Shannon Staker

  9. Melody

    I love almost all Christmas music, but “Joy to the World” is hard to beat.

    I love Mo Tab!! My all time favorite Christmas song is Slient Night

  12. Stacy

    My favorite Christmas song is….(it is so hard to choose just one) I think I would have to go with O Holy Night (and I must say I do love it when the Mormon Tabernacle Choir sings it…gives me the chills..the good kind).
    Thanks

  13. Merrilee

    Wow, I love the mormon tabernacle choir, and I love christmas music. So its great to have the best of both worlds. My favorite Christmas song would be O Holy Night, or Hark The Herald Angels. Thank you!

    Don’t enter me in the contest, but I think Sissel’s MoTab recording of In the Bleak Midwinter is one of my favorites, too.

  17. Jenny

    I love O Holy Night. My brother sings it. I also like “When a Child is Born,” and that song about the nightingale that comes on the radio each year.

  20. Melissa

    I love “Oh, Holy Night”. It is my all time favorite. I would love this cd!

  21. Kimberly

    My favorite song is “The Most Wonderful Time of the Year” by Andy Williams. Everytime I hear it I get totally in the holiday mood.

    My other favorite song is Silent Night, which I love to sing in church durning Candlelight Service.

    I bet this CD is beautiful. We recently purchased Josh Grobin’s Christmas CD which is WONDERFUL!! I would love to add this CD to our holiday collection.

    Thank you for a great giveaway!

  22. Rachel O.

    I would LOVE to have this CD! Thanks for the giveaway!

  23. Sharla

    I was actually planning on buying this one this Christmas because I love both MoTab and The King Singers. I got to hear King Singers with the Utah Symphony a while back and it was amazing! I love that song and they do it so well. I watched it twice to try and find you. At first I thought you were playing violin but then I thought maybe it was you behind the harp. Am I even close? I really did try! I really hope I win this one so I don’t have to buy it. BTW, GREAT idea for a giveaway!

  24. katie stacey

    What Child is This is my favorite christmas song.

  25. Susan

    Ahhh – gorgeous! Are you the blonde flutist? What a thrill it must have been to be part of that (I’m a musician too; piano and organ). I’d have to say O Holy Night is #1 for me. Wonderful prize!

  26. Mupies And Mary Janes

  29. CrystalGB

    Wonderful prize. I love The Little Drummer Boy and Holly Jolly Christmas.

  30. Betty

    I would love to win this, but usually these contests are US addresses only. So if this one is not, count me in. If it is, then good luck to the others!

  31. Kim

    I love O Holy Night. What a beautiful song.

  32. Christy M.

    O Holy Night has always been my favorite. The Mormon Tabernacle Chior’s version gave me goosebumps. So lovely. I think you are the flutist I saw ever so briefly, but you could have also been the harpist! Am I even close? I might have to watch it again!

    Thanks for the chance to win. I would LOVE to have this CD for my Christmas music collection!

  33. Emily

    I love Joy to the World.
    Thanks for offering it!

  34. World's Greatest Mommy

    O Come, O Come Emmanuel…Totally my favorite.

  35. fantacy

    I love love love almost all Christmas songs (not the new-agey or really hard or emo rock ones, to me those aren’t “Christmas” songs)! Mary Did You Know and O Come Emmanuel are 2 of my very favorites….

  36. fantacy

    At first I thought maybe you were one of the flutists, but I really think you are the blonde violinist on the end….but you did mention the bell choir (although I didn’t see them on O Holy Night)…so my vote is for the violinist on the end 😉

  37. Tori

    Oh, I would love this! My parents went to the concert last year and said it was fantastic. One of my favorite Christmas songs is “What Child is This.” I love the melody, and I’ve played a few different violin arrangements of it that are gorgeous.
    Thanks!

  38. Kristin

    My favorite Christmas song is “Angels We Had Heard on High”. I love MoTab and love the King Singers. I hope I win!

    I LOVE the Weather Oustside is Frightful- it’s romantic! thanks !

  44. Chocolate on my Cranium

  45. Susan C

    Silent Night is my favorite! But, I love all Christmas songs, the happy ones, like Jingle Bells, the silly ones, like I Saw mommy kissing Santa Clause, and spiritual ones, like The First Noel!
