Can you feel the magic of the holidays yet? Even though most of my decorations are still in boxes awaiting this weekend, I’ve been playing Christmas music since mid- November, so when Lev3L Digital asked their bloggers if we’d like to watch a new Christmas special and host a giveaway, a Lauren  I happily said yes. Today’s is about the giveaway for a holiday CD (more on that in a minute, but mostly it’s about Christmas Under the Stars A New Christmas special from Lauren Daigle premiering Sunday 12/6 on BYUtv app.

• Tennessee Christmas
• To be together
• Christmas for you and me

• Baby, it’s cold outside (featuring Vince Gill)
• Christmas don’t be late
• Still can’t sleep

Share your Holiday Spirit with Amy Grant:

Have you got a video or photo of you surprising a loved one during the holidays? Amy Grant wants to see them, so upload a video, share a photo on Amy’s social channels and tag them #TNChristmasSurprise. Those chosen will be part of a compilation video that Amy herself will share on her large social media outlets!  Find Amy Grant here on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook. 

My Thoughts:

I will always love the original cut of Tennessee Christmas, but just like Amy, I understand growing and changing in your field. She’s not 22 anymore and that is reflected on this paired down, mellow collection. This is one of those CD’s that can unobtrusively play in the background while you visit with family and friends this holiday season, and I think that is exactly what Amy was trying to achieve with this one. I think you’ll like it! You can purchase Tennessee Christmas, learn more about Amy Grant and see her whole music collection by visiting here.

Happy 2023 dear readers! I hope this finds you well rested after the holidays. I’ve been seeing oodles of January decluttering challenges online, but mine is going to be a little different. Since I chose DECLUTTER as my word of the year, I wanted to spend more time on this, so I’m going to be doing a year long decluttering series with weekly and monthly prompts. I’m doing this in an effort to remove physical,mental,and emotional clutter from my life, especially since we’ve lived in the same house for 15+ years. I hope you will join me. 

Week One: Organize and Store Holiday Decor!

Holiday Candle Trio:
