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!

    Jingle Bells. Now, that may not be the most beautiful or insipiring Christmas song out there, but hear me out.

    In 4th grade, my family moved to the US from Israel, and my mom heard Jingle Bells playing on the radio in the grocery store. She has a wonderful voice and likes to sing, so she wanted to know the words. ‘Luckily’ I was taking music in school, and my mom asked me to ask the music teacher for the notes and words. 4th-grade-me was horribly embarrassed, so it took me nearly a month to ask my teacher. But which time the month of December has passed, and my mom had an entire year to practice her rendition of Jingle Bells in time for next Christmas! ๐Ÿ™‚

    Btw – I love the Tabernacle Choir, that’s some amazing singing.

  24. Paula

    There are so many good songs… Carol of the Bells is one of my favorites.

  25. Elizabeth M.

    My favorite Christmas song is Silent Night. I like singing it in French too. And as for where you’re hiding, I’m thinking that I see you in the photo from the Gloria in Exselsis Deo video. Am I right?

  38. Junglewife

    I love carol of the Bells.
    I tried to find you, but all I could come up with was that you must be in one of the little “pictures” that are on the right with other videos to click on. Maybe the Gloria in Excelsis Deo one? I clicked on that video, but the beginning of the video isn’t anything like the preview “picture”, so I couldn’t confirm. Oh well!

  39. Bret

    We are LDS and my wife loves the King Singers. This could be a surprise Christmas gift. My favorite Christmas song is “Hark, The Herald Angels Sing.”
