Freebies from the Crib: Picture a Christmas Album

I know our Freebie for December comes right on the heels of our November freebie, but seeing as this one is a tad time sensitive, we had to get it up for grabs quick! This of course comes from another one of our own, Kage (aka Kristy Glass). Most of you have probably heard us talk about her new Christmas album before (we are pretty proud of her) but here are a few more little facts about it (and now that I actually have had a copy in my hands for a few weeks now, I can say that it is a beautifully done album that my family and I love to listen to).

This album, Picture a Christmas, is a colIection of sacred music set to piano. Her pure soprano voice is highlighted in classic songs like "O Holy Night", "It Came Upon a Midnight Clear", and "Silent Night". Your kids will recognize primary favorites such as "Stars Were Gleaming", "Picture a Christmas", and "When Joseph Went to Bethlehem" and will love the songs sung with a children's chorus. My favorite songs are the lesser known ones: "Children Go Where I Send Thee", "When a Child is Born", and "Mary Did You Know." Another highlight of the album is a sweet little duet between Kristy and her four year old daughter which I know was also a highlight for Kristy when recording the album. This cd is a collection of songs the whole family will enjoy and is a great addition to any Christmas music collection.

The winner of this Freebie will receive one copy of Kristy's "Picture a Christmas " Album. Keep it for your own collection or give it as a gift! You can check out a sampler of the album over at her website (let the sampler buffer completely to avoid choppy audio).

How to win this Freebie:
-You have until Tuesday (12/5), midnight EST to enter.
-Make a comment (any comment) on the post
-Please don't post under Anonymous - use a Blogger login or the "other" category.
-Winner will be randomly picked and announced Wednesday (12/6) morning.
-Please only enter (comment) once.
-Tales contributors are excluded from winning the freebies--sorry :(
-Freebies can only be shipped to US addresses.

What's with the Freebie?

What a great accomplishment, I love the photos that accompany the sampler, that’s a fun personal touch! Congratulations Kristy!

This is so weird…I just had a dream just last night about the Tales Giveaway. Like they say when people play the lotto, odds of winning are blah blah blah, considerably higher if you don’t play. So, while the odds may be super high, I can’t get picked if I don’t enter!

Okay ya got me! I know I would probably love this CD, but my mother would love it even more. And she's been playing the same 2 Christmas CD's for the past 10 years, so it would really help us all if she had a new one! Oh and by the way KG, I didn't book Kraft. boooooo. Very cool website!

I'm a lurker who sometimes comments on tales, but I also lurk on Kristy's sight. I've spotted her in hair magazines and commercials.

I've bought six copies and would love to win a copy to use for marketing purposes for Kage in the DC area. As many times as I've listened to the CD, I still get tears in my eyes when I hear Kage sing "Mary Did You Know" - so, all those posters who want to win, bite the bullet and purchase a copy of the CD - what a nice Christmas gift that would be for Kage.

bought it, love it, but would also love to give one to my sister who i'm buying for for Christmas!
