We are just Laurie Berkner crazy in this house! Are you? We’ve been listening to her stuff for over 5 years, since Kevin was a baby. So when I received the press release that she (finally!) came out with a Christmas CD, my first question was to ask about giving some away to my readers. So here we are!
It could be yours, enter!
I will say, I just got mine yesterday and I’m less than thrilled about talking about Christmas with my kids. I wanted to wait until after Thanksgiving, but my 3 year old is already asking about it, so why not? We listened to our new CD in the car yesterday, on our way to & from West Chester for an PT appointment at Quest Therapeutics. It was perfect because it was already dark out, so they were focused on the music.
In a few words, we just love it! I can tell this is going to be a holiday staple in our household even as they get bigger. I love that she chose songs that we can sing along to. It’s not obscure songs that no one knows the words to. And it’s in typical LB fashion, fun, folksy, and very youth-oriented without being annoying. We just LOVED Candy Cane Jane! This album is a perfect addition to any family holiday collection–it’s simple and classic and traditional, but not boring.
You can listen to samples here, grab some downloads or buy some for friends. (or come back and purchase, if you’re not a winner)
We have some of her DVDs which I love too. I like to put them on the TV instead of regular TV, because both of my boys sing and dance when they are on, which is a much better alternative to watching TV, and I get a few moments to clean or shower. I hope she comes out with a DVD to accompany this.
Our favorites? Well, I don’t know that we have one yet. And knowing my kids, it will change daily. I like the three original tracks she has on there, they are not sticking in my head just yet. If I had to pick one that I think I’ll be singing, it will be “Christmas is coming.” But the originals that she put on there are a nice change. I know we’ll be using this CD quite heavily over the next several weeks. I am just thrilled that I get to give some away to my readers. I have one for each site, new entry form below. I will pick a winner and contact you with the email address you used to enter. Please respond within 48 hours or another is chosen. Good luck!
