One Hundred Dollars a Month

I am your typical housewife living in high maintenance suburbia. I have a handsome husband, 2 kids and a flock of pet chickens. I try and feed my family with $100 a month. With the help of coupons, gardening and bartering I am able to squeeze the most out of our grocery budget and still manage to have a little fun along the way.

mavis-butterfield-one-hundred-dollars-a-monthIf you read my Top 10 Christmas Albums post, you know I’m a Christmas music junkie. So of course I had to include a Christmas music giveaway when giving away my favorite things!  Cause I just might have to call you a Grinch if you haven’t yet played any holiday tunes!

So if you love Christmas music like I do, or especially if you’re a Grinch who needs a jolt of Christmas spirit, this giveaway is for you.

christmas music

One lucky reader will win Christmas albums with a retail value of $30 or less from this list. It will work just like the movie giveaway, so you can come up with any combination of albums to equal $30.

To enter for a chance to win, simply leave a comment below letting me know what $30 combination of music from this list or my Top 10 Christmas Albums you’d choose if you won. And while I’d like to push Christmas music on everyone, I understand some of my readers may not celebrate Christmas or may be unwavering Grinches. So if you fall into that category, you can choose from this list of bestselling albums instead.

Just answer that one question and you’re entered to win. Life’s pretty complicated sometimes, so I like to keep things simple around here.

Rules

1 entry per person/ip address. If you cheat, you will totally be disqualified.

This giveaway ends  December 16th, 2013 @6 pm PST and the winner will be announced in the December 17th, 2013 edition of Mornings with Mavis. You will be notified via email and have 24 hours to claim your prize. If you do not claim your prize within 24 hours, the prize will be forfeited.

Due to shipping costs, this giveaway is only open to residents of the US only.

Good Luck! I hope you win!

  3. I’d go with Bruce Springsteen’s “High Hopes,” Josh Groban’s “Noel,” and and Celine Dion’s “Loved Me Back To Life,” if I could chip in the extra $3 or so. If I had to come in at or under $30, I’d drop the last one.

  4. frozen soundtrack, duck the halls and bing crosby, because it ain’t christmas til I hear white christmas.

  6. I love soft background music so I’d go with Top Christmas songs – Peaceful acoustic guitar and Hymns and Carols of Christmas by Jim Brickman

  7. I was just thinking the other day that it would be nice to have some “new” Christmas music! I would choose “Cheers, It’s Christmas” by Blake Shelton and “A Very She and Him Christmas”!!!

  8. The Lost Christmas Eve by Trans-Siberian Orchestra (2004), Christmas by Michael Bublé (2011) – CD, & Noel by Josh Groban (2007)

    Wow Christmas 2013

  16. Mary did you know $12.72
    50 most loved Christmas carols $14.49
    Both of the above because we don’t often hear the religious music which I would like to share with my kids more. Mine became outdated in cassette format and I couldn’t afford to replace.
    I would also throw in Bing because what kid doesn’t wish for a white Christmas!?

  19. How to choose??? I would mix some carols with some fun modern tunes. Maybe some Amy Grant or Zoey.

  20. She and Him Christmas (audio CD), Appalachian Christmas (audio CD), and Christmas Portrait by the Carpenters (audio CD). Thanks for the opportunity to win this giveaway.

  24. Charlie Brown Christmas, Lost Christmas Eve, and Mannheim Steamroller Christmas. I do love Christmas music in the background.

  26. I don’t know why the Michael Buble Christmas cd isn’t showing up on the list, but I’d love to receive “To be loved” by Michael Buble (because he’s my secret boyfriend…shhhhh…don’t tell the hubs) and Diana Krall’s Christmas cd (because she’s my bestie).

  29. Merry Christmas – Mariah Carrey, Michael Buble – To Be Loved, Mannheim Steamroller – I love Christmas music! Actually jammed out to Bing Crosby tonight! 🙂

  31. Manheim Steamroller, Transsiberian Orchestra, and if money allows, Charlie Brown. Thank you and Merry Christmas 🙂

  32. I’ve been longing for so long for a Christmas cd by the Celtic Woman (any one of their cd’s would be wonderful) and I love the voice of Susan Boyle. Her cd “Home for Christmas” sounds like it too would be wonderful.
