Mercy Me- It's Christmas! - CD Review and Giveaway


Yes, I admit it.  I am a HUGE MercyMe fan.  I think the first time I ever heard them was at a live concert at a little church in a little town in Alabama.  There is just something about their voices that stills my heart and brings me joy.  

And then there is pizza.  The whole family likes pizza.  And we have mentioned before that one of our favorite new-to-us pizza places is Pizza Ranch.  Good food, great buffet, and Christian music in the background equals a fun place to take the family out for a treat!



What do you get when you combine MercyMe and Pizza Ranch?

MercyMe's It's Christmas! CD, with four songs exclusive to Pizza Ranch on CDs sold at any of their locations.  MercyMe It’s Christmas​ CD will be available in Pizza Ranch locations beginning November 1, 2015 through December 31, 2015.  CDs will be sold for $5.00 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. See why I love that place?



Songs include:
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)

I have to tell you, this CD has taken several trips around our home!  My 13 year old was the first to confiscate it and listened to it for days while doing school.  He says it is his favorite Christmas CD and his favorite song is O Holy Night.  My 17 year old took it next and said her favorite song was Hold On Christmas because it has almost a 60s "vibe."  Her words, not mine.  She too really liked the CD!  Luckily, it has finally ended up in my living room for all to hear, and will remain there until sneaky fingers take it again.  My favorite Christmas song is O Come, O Come, but I love that this whole CD is full of Christian, Christmas classics!

  4. One of our favorite holiday traditions is going to see Santa on Christmas Eve morning. The kids get dressed up and sit on his lap and we get a group picture. It's been fun looking back on those pictures over the years and seeing how much each child has changed and grown. I hope to continue this tradition even as the children get older.

  19. The Christmas song that comes to my mind first is "I Need a Silent Night." Maybe that says a little too much about how crazy our Decembers have been the past few years.
