When I was a teenager, I began making Christmas Music tapes for my family. In 1997 I started producing Christmas Music CDs... Over the years, I've built up a library of six solid Christmas Albums, and one lucky KUWTB readers is going to win all six of them!
Not only that, but six additional readers will pick up the single disc of their choice. Pretty sweet deal, huh?
All you have to do is leave a comment here, saying which of the six would be your favorite if you were one of the six runner ups. We'll randomly draw one of those to be the grand prize winner, and then we'll randomly draw six additional names to receive the disc of their choice.
Sound good? Here's a shot of the grand prize package to get you inspired:
Now, just so you can make an educated request, here's a quick rundown of what's on each disc, starting at the left...
A Modern Christmas is a contemporary, rock 'n' roll era Christmas album. Includes "Do They Know It's Christmas," and 23 other neo-classics, including Bryan Adams' "Reggae Christmas."
A Traditional Family Christmas is just what it says. It's the music my parents listened to when I was a kid, family classics from Julie Andrews, Nat "King" Cole and Bing Crosby, along with some newer tracks from Mannheim Steamroller.
Merry & Bright is an instrumental smooth-jazz disc, perfect for background music while wrapping presents or having a nice relaxed dinner.
A Good Cup Of Cocoa is an update to a really lame disc I tried to do in 1998. That one was called "A Warm Cup Of Cocoa" and I quickly realized that while it may have been warm, it sure wasn't good... So I did a complete makeover on it a couple years ago, and now it's MUCH better. It's all warm sounding, relaxing Christmas Music, and includes Josh Groban's "Believe" from the Polar Express.
The Best Kids' Christmas CD contains classic music from the Christmas Specials that used to be such season-defining events when they'd show on TV once - and only once - every year. Music from Frosty, Rudolph and the Grinch... and LOTS more!
A Country Christmas is, believe it or not, a CD of Country Christmas. It, along with the Traditional Family Christmas, are the only ones that haven't been tweaked at all since their original pressings. That said, everything on here is ten years old, and I could probably make a sequel by now... But it's a great disc. Even though I'm not the biggest Country Music fan, this disc is a definite family favorite around here!
There ya go - We'll run the contest through next Thursday (the 4th) and then get the discs out ASAP so you can unleash the festivities!
And if you know someone who would enjoy some Quality Christmas Music, send them on over!
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL, AND TO ALL, GOOD LUCK!
How fun. Count me in for sure. Love music.

ReplyDeleteNice. I love raffles. IS there an entry fee(other than a comment)? Do I have to be in the lower 48 states, and be 13 or older? Is there a limit for the individual cd drawing per household? Are they on cd of casset? If on casset, how old are you?
ReplyDeleteohh, my favorite of all is a traditional family christmas, but I'd love to hear Merry and Bright...Because of you nd your musical sylings, I also grew up on "A Traditional Family Christmas"!
ReplyDeleteI want a Traditional Family Christmas! I love the kind of stuff your parents listened to. That's my favorite era of Holiday music.
ReplyDeleteHmmm, I already have most of these already. Some of them, like Modern Christmas I have two or three copies of. I do not however have the Country one. I know that mom really praised that one too, so sign me up for a little bit o' country.
ReplyDeleteA traditional family Christmas is calling me by name. I would love to add it to my holiday music collection.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, what a great giveaway. I want them all! But I think you've interested me with the Country Christmas. I only have new country Christmas songs.
ReplyDeletemy fave is always a modern christmas. you can't go wrong with band aid and bryan adams. (never with bryan adams)
ReplyDeleteI would love the good cup of cocoa makeover cd. I think I might have your tradional cd already, but I listen to it so much, a new one would be ok too. Great giveaway. I hope it's my lucky day!
ReplyDeleteI love my traditional CD you gave out several years ago! I'm always up for anything Christmas but if you are going to make me choose...my first pick would be kids Christmas. Awesome give away!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you reminded us readers about this or I would have missed it... I would have to pick "Traditional Family Christmas" since that's my favorite kind of Christmas music.
