On the 8th day of Giveaways....

bump decided that we need new holiday music to play in the store and so.... today's entries are us asking you to post your all-time favourite carol or holiday-related song (with artist so we can look it up and download).  Those who share their fave tunes with us will be entered to win another of our fave products - the Skip Hop Melamine Zoo Friends Plate & Bowl in the Owl design! It's cute for boy or girls and if I'm honest, I'd love the set myself.  I probably should look at using children's sized plates to curb my holiday eating......

And since I'm making you tell me about the songs you love, I'll tell you about mine.  I have two favourites - if you are in the store you will hear the last holiday cd I made which has these two songs on it about 3 different times by various artists (hence the need to make another cd before I drive Jeanine & the customers batty listening to the same tunes over and over!) I love love love "O Holy Night" - I literally tear up every time I hear it.  I think, for me, it just brings it all back to the meaning of this special season.  The other is "I'll be home for Christmas".  As one who has lived all over (from Ottawa, to Toronto and then Finland) coming home for Christmas was always special for me.  Until you have lived elsewhere, it's hard to grasp that feeling of packing up and traveling through the holidays.  The anticipation of seeing your loved ones, sleeping in a familiar bed and all the old traditions you grew up with - it's a hard feeling to describe but it's pretty wonderful.  So....tell me what songs you love!
