Mercy Me - It's Christmas... Review and a giveaway!

I have a personal policy about Christmas music.  I  love Christmas music, but I don't listen to it until after Thanksgiving.  Once I start, it's all I listen too!
This year I went against my policy.  I was offered the chance to review this Christmas CD: Mercy Me, It's Christmas!  When I saw it was by Mercy Me, and saw the list of songs, I decided to check it out.

This CD was put out with the Pizza Ranch restaurant.  If you purchase it through them, you get a version with 4 extra songs included.  Here's the list of songs:
1. Newborn
2. Christmastime Again
3. Sleigh Ride
4. I'll Be Home For Christmas
5. Hold On Christmas
6. A Holly Jolly Christmas
7. Go Tell It On The Mountain
8. Do You Hear What I Hear
9. Our Lullaby
10. Joy
11. O Come, O Come 
12. God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen (Exclusive Bonus Track for Pizza Ranch)
13. O Holy Night (Exclusive Bonus Track for Pizza Ranch)
14. Silent Night (Exclusive Bonus Track for Pizza Ranch)
15. Joseph's Lullaby (Exclusive Bonus Track for Pizza Ranch) 

My sisters and I listened to this while on our shopping adventure.  I've listened to it since then too.  We all enjoyed it, and I highly recommend it!  It's the type of CD you can listen to over and over again, and not get sick of. It's hard to choose a favorite song, but if pressed, I'd have to say it's 'Go tell it on the mountain'.

Mercy Me It's Christmas CD will be available in Pizza Ranch locations beginning November 1, 2015 through December 31, 2015. It has 4 exclusive songs that can only be found on the CD version being sold by Pizza Ranch.  Each CD will be sold for $5 plus tax.  Pizza Ranch will give away the CD with a $25 gift card purchase as well as sell the full album at each of its 200 locations throughout the Midwest and Great Plains states. "We are so excited to debut our new Christmas album, MercyMe, It’s Christmas, with Pizza Ranch” said Bart Millard with MercyMe. “Pizza Ranch is a fantastic restaurant with a great mission to glorify God. It's the perfect gift to give this Christmas season and the perfect CD to get you in the Christmas spirit.”

I think it's the perfect time to stop at Pizza Ranch for a good meal, and pick up a great CD for a bargain price. I know you'd enjoy the meal and the CD!

The good people at Propeller consulting have offered a CD to one lucky reader of my blog!  Just leave a comment, making sure there is a way for me to contact you.  I'll draw a winner next Thursday and post the winner!

I love Mercy Me too. Since I have gotten my Echo, I can play any kind of music all the time, so I will not be entering the contest, but hope someone else gets it from your blog. Have a nice Friday my friend.

Immediately I chose "go tell it on the mountain" and then "Oh Holy Night" as my two favorites.

There aren't any of those restaurants around here. I'm glad though that you'll have a happy winner. :)

Bethany Carson said...

Pizza Ranch is a great place to eat once in awhile! Love their dessert pizzas and chicken broccoli alfredo pizza!

Natalie said...

I didn’t know they had a Christmas CD but I am super excited to hear it! yarbr012@gmail.com

Hootin Anni said...

I can listen to Christmas songs all year long. Some Carols anyway. I'LL BE HOME FOR CHRISTMAS is one of my favorites....especially now that my parents are gone. It always brought tears to my eyes, now...well, now I bawl. And Oh Holy Night I sang solo in my church choir long ago. I still get butterflies in my stomach.

Good luck for those that join your giveaway. Include me please. Or am I too late?

Terri D said...

Please put me in for the drawing! I listen to Christmas music starting after Thanksgiving too, in the car and at work. We don't have any Pizza Ranch locations around here, so hoping I get lucky!!
