From now through Christmas, Amazon is giving away free Christmas songs to download<\/a> every day.\u00a0 A new song is unveiled each day, and you can also download all of the songs that have been posted up till that day… all free!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

So far there have been songs like Chris Isaak’s “Auld Lang Syne,”<\/span> The Indigo Girls’ “Your Holiday Song”<\/span> and Point of Grace’s “Angels We Have Heard on High.” <\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

You can listen to samples to see if you want them on each page. <\/span><\/strong>We particularly liked “Winter Night.”<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Lastly, I got this comment from MaryAnn Kohl the other day.\u00a0 Normally I don’t pass on this sort of thing, but I adore MaryAnn’s art activity books (I can’t tell you how many late fines I’ve paid to the library because of hanging on to Science Arts<\/em> just a couple more days and Global Art<\/em> has been on my wish list for a while!), so I am passing it on…<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

I follow your blog – it’s one of my favorites. My name is MaryAnn Kohl. I am the author of over 20 books on art for kids.<\/span><\/p>\n

I am writing because I need your help to win a wonderful education grant, and I hope you can let your blog readers know about the grant competition. It takes votes to win, daily votes if possible.<\/span><\/p>\n

Specifically, I am nominated for an amazing education grant from Pepsi. If I win, I will travel the USA in 2011 and bring hands-on art workshops to 6000+ teachers whose schools do not have art programs! Ultimately this would impact 150,000+ children who have no art at school.<\/span><\/p>\n

I am asking that you vote for my project, and I hope you will invite your blog readers to vote too!<\/span><\/p>\n

There are 3 ways to vote (and you can use all three every day if you want to… “power voting!”<\/span><\/p>\n

1.) Direct vote<\/strong> at: http:\/\/www.refresheverything.com\/greatartkids<\/a><\/span> (You have to sign up first with the program to be a verfied voter.)<\/span><\/p>\n

2.) Text your vote<\/strong> – no sign up needed:<\/span>
\n Text these numbers: 104840 To Pepsi’s phone: 73774<\/span><\/p>\n

3.) \u00a0Go to Facebook <\/strong>and vote through the Pepsi Voting App. This is pretty easy.<\/span>
\n <\/span><\/p>\n

Note: If you get lost on the Pepsi site, just put MaryAnn Faubion Kohl in the search box and it will take you to my voting page.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thank you so much for helping me achieve my goal of bringing art to schools all over the USA. I’d love to come to your town!<\/span><\/p>\n

Thank you for considering posting my need for votes on your blog!<\/span>

Good luck MaryAnn! <\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

By the way, folks, you can find lots of really fun free art projects at MaryAnn’s web site here<\/a>.<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Happy Wednesday!
