Think back on your holiday memories: how many of them include seasonal music? Your favorite gift-wrapping or tree trimming music? What about the carols heard on every street corner? Music is an integral part of the holiday season.

I’m hosting a “musical” 12-Days of Christmas Giveaway right here on Lipstick to Crayons. Starting Dec. 9, and going through Dec. 20, you can click on the button in the widget below (Dec. 9 being day, 1, Dec. 10 being day 2, and so on) and then leave a comment below why you want to win the prize of the day.

Today’s prize is the Ultimate AC/DC Experience: Backtracks (Standard Edition).

Arriving in two distinctly different fan-friendly editions, Backtracks spans the length and breadth of AC/DC’s career, bringing together rare songs, hard-to-find live performances and the long-awaited debut of “Family Jewels Disc 3,” a DVD showcasing the group’s music videos, live performances, and promotional clips from 1992-2009.

Manufactured in an exclusive run limited to 50,000 pieces, the deluxe collector’s edition of Backtracks includes a CD of studio rarities, two CDs of live rarities, the “Family Jewels Disc 3″ DVD, the “Live at the Circus Krone” DVD, a front-row immersion in the band’s scorching 2003 club show in Munich, Germany, and a 12″ long-playing album, struck in 180 gram vinyl, of hard-to-find studio tracks. The limited edition Backtracks includes a five-disc media carrier to house and transport the set’s three CDs and two DVDs.

In addition the deluxe collector’s edition comes with a 164 page coffee table book and an Original Memorabilia Reproductions Envelope containing an astounding array of facsimiles. It comes housed in a fully operational AC/DC guitar amplifier.

The three-disc standard version of Backtracks distills the electrifying essence of the deluxe set into one CD of studio rarities, one CD of hard-to-find live tracks, and the indispensable “Family Jewels Disc 3″ DVD.

The limited and numbered deluxe collector’s edition of Backtracks will is available direct-to-consumers exclusively through the Web site. But one lucky Lipstick to Crayons reader can win the standard Backtracks edition by leaving a comment below. But hurry — this contest closes at 11:59 p.m. Central Dec. 9.

This contest is closed. Congratulations to Cheryl, comment #5.

    I would love to win this so my 10-year-old son could enjoy it. He really loves this type of older music and I think that is unique in a kid his age.

    Ac/dc is my favorite hard rock band. When I was learning how to drive it was all I would play driving in my car!!

    Thanks for the great contest and entry!

  11. #11 Lee P. on December 9, 2009:

    Oh, this brings back memories! AC/DC was the first concert I went to. What a blast that was! I loved it when that big bell came down and they started playing Hells Bells. AC/DC is a great band and I would love to be included in this giveaway. Thank you for this very nice contest.

  12. #12 Sarah U. on December 9, 2009:

    AC/DC was the band that introduced me to Rock’N'Roll, essentially saving me from a shy, geeky adolescence. I fell in love with the music, became an art major, graduated into a recession, and need music to once again save my sanity and revive my spirits!! :)

  13. #13 Doreen on December 9, 2009:

    What a super giveaway. Thanks

  14. #14 Rachel G on December 9, 2009:

  20. #20 Soha Molina on December 9, 2009:
