Okay, it appears that my comment function gets overloaded when it reaches 924 comments. Since I’ve never received 924 comments on one post before, I had no idea that it created some kind of issue with the comment system.

However, I don’t want WordPress’s shortcomings to keep you from the opportunity to win a copy of Travis Cottrell’s Ring the Bells CD.

So, if you haven’t already left a comment in the previous post, leave a comment on this post. The first comment will be #925 and we’ll go from there. The random number generator will never know the difference!

Thanks, y’all!

I love Travis and I love Christmas music! This could be the second contest I’ve ever won – the first being the large stuffed coyote I won at my orthodontist’s office when I was in elementary school. Now that’s a prize. Only in Texas.

I love christmas music, and I’ve heard so much about this CD. I’d love to win it. Thanks for the giveaway.

11 Valerie October 10, 2008 at 12:33 pm

The best Christmas gift I ever received was the birth of my firstborn, just 6 days before Christmas. Christmas Eve he was finally able to come off of the bili-blanket and we were able to celebrate Christmas wire free.

Beats any material gift anytime. :)

On another note… this cd sounds great. We are in need of a good Christmas cd. We have a Shrek and Donkey Christmas. Oh, the joy it brings. Thanks for the chance to win! :)

12 KimiG October 10, 2008 at 12:34 pm

O Holy Night – does it really get any better than this?

55 Missy @ Finding Bright Spots October 10, 2008 at 6:04 pm

I’ve actually never heard Travis, and would love to win his cd!

My favorite Christmas gift ever came a few years ago. On Christmas Eve, my husband placed one more mysterious box underneath the Christmas tree and at first I was upset with him for spending more money. But, he promised me that it was $10 or under and it would be my favorite gift of the day. Man…that’s a challenge!

Well, it totally was. My best friend from grade school lives in China and I don’t get to talk to her very often, but we had just had a great conversation about a week before, sharing that we were both pregnant! My loving hubby saw how much I loved talking with her, that he bought me some low-cost long-distance card for $10, giving me hours more of talk time overseas. Talk about thoughtful!

He’s the sweetest, and yes, I loved getting more talk time with her!

Love your blog, by the way!!

My favorite gift? hmmmm… I don’t like to pick favorites of anything. I hate to leave anyone, or anything, out. (Pathetic, I know) I guess the most memorable was the baby doll that looked and sounded like a real baby. What more could a little girl ask for??
By the way, love your blog!!

I love Christmas music–all times of the year. It’s one of the most sentimental experiences I have. Now that I live in Texas, I think I’m going to need an extra dose of Christmas music to remember how Minnesota’s snowy Christmases are.

80 Robin Fehr October 11, 2008 at 8:33 am

Your blog is so amazing YOU deserve to win something amazing!

I’d say my most memorable Christmas gift was the anticipation of our first child…

86 Sufficient Grace October 11, 2008 at 9:35 am

I didn’t win with BooMama’s giveaway. Hopefully I will win with yours. My most memorable Christmas gift was acceptance to UT.

87 Tater and Tot October 11, 2008 at 9:47 am

I would love to win. Christmas music at my house starts heavy duty on November 1st. My favorite Christmas gift was the Cabbage Patch Doll that I got when I was maybe 6. My parents had done a wonderful job of preparing me for the worst in case Sanata couldn’t fight all of the other mamas off at 5 am at Hills to get one.

88 Angie October 11, 2008 at 9:52 am
