Day 11 – 12 Days of Christmas Giveaway

December 20th, 2009 • Related • Filed Under

As I’ve mentioned, I’m hosting a “musical” 12-Days of Christmas Giveaway. Today (Dec. 20) is day 11. Click on the Day 11 button in the widget below and then leave a comment as to why you want to win the prize of the day.

Today’s prize is Kristin Chenoweth’s new Christmas CD, “A Lovely Way to Spend Christmas.” For her third album, Chenoweth covers a wide range of Christmas songs from “Christmas Island,” popularized by The Andrew’s Sisters to Kristin’s personal favorite “Come On Ring Those Bells.”

“A Lovely Way To Spend Christmas” is an eclectic combination of full orchestral arrangements, along with big band, a bit of tropical island flavor, pop and country.

In addition to well-known Christmas classics such as “Silver Bells” and “I’ll Be Home For Christmas,” Chenoweth reinterprets Louis Armstrong’s modern standard “What A Wonderful World” and children’s favorite “Sing,” (originally written for Sesame Street’s loveable Big Bird) into a Christmas songs with the help of acclaimed producer Robbie Buchanan (Barbra Streisand, Bette Midler, Barry Manilow) and Executive Producer Jay Landers (Streisand, Midler, Manilow, Celine Dion and Josh Groban).

The album also features new compositions of “Home On Christmas Day,” co-written by Grammy Award winning producer Walter Afanasieff (Mariah Carey, Celine Dion) and Jay Landers and “Born On Christmas Day,” with lyrics by Grammy winning pop/soul singing legend Peabo Bryson.

One lucky Lipstick to Crayons reader can win this CD by leaving a comment below. Hurry — this contest closes at 11:59 p.m. Central Dec. 20.
