An anniversary, and a feast

By Mir

December 14, 2009

Today’s contest offers your choice of two prizes. Please read this entire post before entering!

First: Did you know it’s been 50 years since The Sound of Music debuted? I can hardly believe that. (Remember when it was on TV once a year and you had to beg to stay up and watch it, because there was no such thing as DVDs and only rich people had VCRs?) But yes, for 50 years we’ve been trying to solve a problem like Maria. Ahhhh.

In honor of this auspicious occasion, I have a Sound of Music combo for you today. It consists of this gorgeous collectible pop-up book and the 50th Anniversary music CD. This would make the perfect gift for anyone who’s a musical theater enthusiast, or would be a great way to introduce the next generation to what an incredible earworm “Doe, A Deer” is. One reader will receive this pair.

Alternatively, if you’re not into Sound of Music, or if you’re just very hungry, we had such a great response to the last Cook’s Ham contest that the Cook’s folks said we should do it again—twice! I have two coupons for a free Cook’s Ham (up to $30 value) available, as well. Two readers will receive a coupon for a free ham (just in time for Christmas)!

To enter this one, first go review the contest rules and regulations, then come back here and leave me a comment by 11:59 p.m. Eastern (that’s 8:59 p.m. Pacific) on Wednesday, December 16th, 2009, telling me whether you’d like to receive a ham coupon or the Sound of Music bundle. You must pick one, please. Winners to be determined by random number generation and ability to hit the high notes.

Ready? Go!

Sound of Music bundle would be simply DIVINE!!! It is my fav movie of all times!
Summer on December 14, 2009 at 2:53 pm

mmmm ham…
Jenny on December 14, 2009 at 2:53 pm

Ahhhh! I LOVE the Sound of Music, and my daughter is JUST getting old enough to watch and mostly appreciate the WHOLE thing. We’d LOVE to listen to the music in the van! Or, we can eat ham. Either way!
ADifferentLaura on December 14, 2009 at 2:56 pm

My father took my mother on their first date to see the Sound of Music. She reminds me of this every time the opportunity presents itself, which used to be at least once a year when it aired on TV. Hard to believe that first date was 50 years ago.

Damn, suddenly I feel very, very old.

A prize would make me feel better… 🙂
Only so I could give it to my mom.
traci on December 14, 2009 at 2:57 pm

Have to choose the ham. For the family. I love the movie, but with two boys…I’ve had a little trouble convincing them. And they LOVE to eat.
S. Elder on December 14, 2009 at 2:57 pm

Awesome!!
Dawn on December 14, 2009 at 3:00 pm

Sound of Music…pretty please, pretty Mir?
Melissa on December 14, 2009 at 3:00 pm

Sound of Music, though I don’t think you want me to sing any high notes!
stephanie on December 14, 2009 at 3:02 pm

The Lonely Goatherd is my earworm of choice. My girls and I would love to have the Sound of Music bundle!
Christina on December 14, 2009 at 3:02 pm

Oh Mir! This is a wonderful contest! Hubby and I were just discussing our love for Sound of Music last night. I would so love THe Sound of Music COmbo. IF not for me, than perhaps for my dad who may love Sound of Music more than me!
Jessica P on December 14, 2009 at 3:02 pm

Sound of Music please!
Ches on December 14, 2009 at 3:03 pm

Ham please
wendy on December 14, 2009 at 3:03 pm

Sound of Music bundle for sure. I drove my brothers nuts watching the copy my mom recorded off the TV.
Beth on December 14, 2009 at 3:04 pm

I think I would feel better about myself if I were more of a Sound of Music person…but I’m going to go for HAM, please! 🙂
kat on December 14, 2009 at 3:04 pm

The Sound of Music has aged better than I have.
tandis on December 14, 2009 at 3:05 pm

Definitely the ham, since my parents took me to go see “The Sound of Music” one year at a playhouse and it was the longest two+ hours of my life.
Venitha on December 14, 2009 at 3:05 pm

Oooh, ham!
April on December 14, 2009 at 3:05 pm

Hubby loves Ham.
Nancy S on December 14, 2009 at 3:05 pm

Crista on December 14, 2009 at 3:06 pm

Oh, most definately Sound of Music! Please!
Kathy Cox on December 14, 2009 at 3:06 pm

OOOOHHHHH! Sound of Music was unknown to me for the first 22 years of my life…I was so deprived!! Now, it is a part of my soul! I would love this gift package!
Jenn on December 14, 2009 at 3:06 pm

I would like the Sound of Music combo!
Michele on December 14, 2009 at 3:06 pm

If there is a choice…ham, but I’m grateful either way.
Laura on December 14, 2009 at 3:07 pm

The Sound of Music is my favorite movie of all time and my heart nearly melts when my 4 year old begins to try to recite some songs on her own. The CD would be loved by this family!
Julie on December 14, 2009 at 3:07 pm

Ham salad sandwiches are my fav!
Jill on December 14, 2009 at 3:09 pm

One of the first dates for my parents was to go see The Sound of Music. I would love to give them this prize 🙂
Lauren on December 14, 2009 at 3:09 pm

I’m all about the Sound of Music! (and I don’t eat pork, so no trouble deciding which to pick)
Nicki on December 14, 2009 at 3:12 pm

I love the Sound of Music!
Julie H. on December 14, 2009 at 3:12 pm

One of my favorite movies and I don’t even own it. I would LOVE to own it!
Sunnya on December 14, 2009 at 3:12 pm

Jennifer B on December 14, 2009 at 3:13 pm

As much as I love the Sound of Music, I would prefer the Taste of Ham.
Heather on December 14, 2009 at 3:15 pm

I would love to introduce my girls to the Sound of Music.
Angie D on December 14, 2009 at 3:15 pm

Ham, please!
Becca on December 14, 2009 at 3:18 pm

The Sound of Music is an honored holiday tradition in our family! (And umm…I have the entire set of Sound of Music Bradford Exchange commemorative plates on display in my kitchen.)

My mom would always say “If Maria can make clothes for all those kids out of some old curtains, you can certainly do…(whatever it was I’d claimed I couldn’t do).”
Rachel on December 14, 2009 at 3:19 pm

Ooohhhhh pick me
Heather J on December 14, 2009 at 3:21 pm

A very difficult choice! However, I think I need you to pick me for the ham.
exile on mom street on December 14, 2009 at 3:23 pm

Movie please!
Jennifer on December 14, 2009 at 3:23 pm

Ham please!!
Christine on December 14, 2009 at 3:27 pm

I’m definitely more “ham” than S-O-M, so ham is my pick.
Jen on December 14, 2009 at 3:28 pm

Pick Ham PLEASE!!
Thank you
Thank you….
beth s on December 14, 2009 at 3:28 pm

Sound of Music please. I’m gonna have to see if my DVR will find it this week now that the songs are stuck in my head.
cocosmom on December 14, 2009 at 3:29 pm

Please, please!! We would love the Sound of Music! THANKS MIR!
Katie on December 14, 2009 at 3:29 pm

I have a friend who’s obsessed with the Sound of Music, she would love this!
Lainie on December 14, 2009 at 3:30 pm

Ohhh, that sound of music pack sounds great! You really don’t want me to try to hit the high notes though 🙂
Molly on December 14, 2009 at 3:31 pm

I love ham and the Sound of Music, but I’ll have to go with the ham this time!
Mary Fran on December 14, 2009 at 3:31 pm

Oh, Sound of Music here… “I am 16, going on 17…”
Danielle on December 14, 2009 at 3:32 pm

Sound of Music PLEASE!!!!!!
alison on December 14, 2009 at 3:32 pm

Hmmm…can I have the sound of ham? OK, how about the music bundle. “Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens…”
annette on December 14, 2009 at 3:33 pm

I never thought i would have to choose between The SOund of Music …and ham. Being the practical one, I will take the ham, please:)
Amelia on December 14, 2009 at 3:37 pm

ooooh! sound of music, sound of music! how exciting. i was just thinking my daughter is getting old enough to appreciate some bits of it…
Lisa on December 14, 2009 at 3:38 pm

The Sound of Music – hands down. I think I might know the whole thing by heart!
Erica on December 14, 2009 at 3:38 pm

Would LOVE Sound of Music bundle for my daughter – she LOVES musicals!!
Brandi on December 14, 2009 at 3:39 pm

do, a deer, a female deer
re, a drop of golden sun
mi, a name I call myself
fa, a long, long way to run
so, a needle pulling thread
la, a note to follow so
ti, a drink with jam and bread
that will bring us back to do oh oh oh

ahem. I didn’t do that from memory or anything.

NOR DID MY HUSBAND JUST COME IN MOCKING ME FOR SINGING. NOPE. DIDN’T HAPPEN.
Jess on December 14, 2009 at 3:40 pm

I’m pretty sure that more people are going to want The Sound of Music. Sadly, as much as I love ham, I’m ruining my odds by being one of them. I can reinforce to my daughter that Julie Andrews is way more than Anne Hathaway’s grandma!
Firelady on December 14, 2009 at 3:41 pm

What a decision! OK – the ham wins.
Kim on December 14, 2009 at 3:42 pm

Ham!
Wendy on December 14, 2009 at 3:43 pm

I absolutly love The Sound of Music. After watching it for the first time, I bought the sheet music to Edelweiss and played it for my next piano recital. Also, like Chickadee, I’m a vegetarian – so not really interested in ham. 🙂
Claire on December 14, 2009 at 3:45 pm

Sound of Music, please! Thanks!
Jenn on December 14, 2009 at 3:45 pm

We would love the sound of music!!

Angie on December 14, 2009 at 3:47 pm

Tough choice, but..gimme the pig.
Michelle on December 14, 2009 at 3:49 pm

Pork the other white meat…yum!
Lindesy on December 14, 2009 at 3:49 pm

Oh my word…. I love the sound of music. Pretty please??
Gennie on December 14, 2009 at 3:50 pm

Ham on ham eaters!
Brittany on December 14, 2009 at 3:51 pm

Julie Andrews and the Sound of Music can we say more?
Kyallee on December 14, 2009 at 3:53 pm

I caught the last couple hours of The Sound of Music on TV late last year. Why did it take me until I was 33 to discover this gem? Just call me culturally deprived. However, I would love to torture, uh, enlighten my children with a book and CD! Thanks for another great giveaway!
terra on December 14, 2009 at 3:53 pm

Gotta go with the ham.
Suzanne on December 14, 2009 at 3:55 pm

Sound of Music please
Cindy in FL. on December 14, 2009 at 3:55 pm

I want. I promise to put it to good use.
Carrie on December 14, 2009 at 3:57 pm

Sound of Music bundle please!
Cindy in FL. on December 14, 2009 at 3:57 pm

AAAAAH! The Sound of Music, please. Nothing against ham, but music and books rarely go to my hips.
Jen W. on December 14, 2009 at 3:59 pm

Since my daughter was 3 years-old, she would beg to watch the “Marie Show”. It would take her four days to get through all of it, but she loved it. Please enter me in for the Sound of music.
Kathy on December 14, 2009 at 4:00 pm

Sound of Music pretty please! That set sounds awesome.
chris on December 14, 2009 at 4:00 pm

So hard to pick! I think Sound of Music would be awesome.
Colleen on December 14, 2009 at 4:02 pm

Ham please!
Kelly on December 14, 2009 at 4:02 pm

pick me! sound of music please:)
Kristie on December 14, 2009 at 4:03 pm

I should probably get the ham, but I choose The Sound of Music bundle instead!
Susie on December 14, 2009 at 4:03 pm

My husband is the one who loves The Sound of Music, believe it or not!
Krisitina on December 14, 2009 at 4:03 pm

Susanna on December 14, 2009 at 4:08 pm

Love the Sound of Music!
Kaedra on December 14, 2009 at 4:08 pm

I’d love the ham please! I’d also love the music, but we already have multiple copies of the movie. The kids (and adults) love it! I’d rather see someone who doesn’t have any Sound of Music get that prize. Spread the love.
Janie on December 14, 2009 at 4:09 pm

Ham, please. You can keep any green eggs.
Mary Anne on December 14, 2009 at 4:09 pm

My daughter already sings “Do a Deer”, so the CD would be awesome!
Amy Dugdale on December 14, 2009 at 4:11 pm

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!!!! Did I say, LOVE? LOVE, THE SOUND OF MUSIC!!!!! It is my ALL TIME FAVORITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THIS WOULD BE AWESOME:O)
Kelly on December 14, 2009 at 4:12 pm

I’d love to win the ham, please! Thanks so much!
Emily on December 14, 2009 at 4:18 pm

I’ve never seen Sound of Music, so I’ll go with the ham coupon.
Sammie on December 14, 2009 at 4:18 pm

oh the memories!! pick me please
Julie w on December 14, 2009 at 4:18 pm

Oh the ham please! The Polish side of our family is visiting over the holidays. And holidays=ham in Polish 🙂
Ellie W. on December 14, 2009 at 4:19 pm

I’m going to have to say I’d like the ham coupon because I already have the Sound of Music! 🙂
Mimi on December 14, 2009 at 4:19 pm

Erin on December 14, 2009 at 4:22 pm

Ooh! Sound of Music bundle, please!

I teach a public speaking class at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and not an hour ago I had a student commemorating Julie Andrews’ portrayals of Maria von Trapp and Mary Poppins! He said that Maria & Mary were like his mom when he was growing up, because he didn’t have a mom.

I know…all together now…AWWW. (And this is a 29-year-old veteran who’s a returning college student! My job rules.)
Krista on December 14, 2009 at 4:23 pm

Yummy ham for the holidays!
Anna on December 14, 2009 at 4:23 pm

Love, love, love the Sound of Music. I wanted to be Julie Andrews when I grew up. (still do.)
Heidi on December 14, 2009 at 4:24 pm

Sound of music was my favorite movie growing up and that book looks BEAUTIFUL! Pick me please 🙂
Not Your Aunt Bea on December 14, 2009 at 4:25 pm

The Sound of Music! My favorite thing. So much that we walked down the aisle to the same music the Captain and Maria did. So much so that my husband knows all the words to the songs (and kinda of the moves to the farewell song). So much so that we’ve been to the Sound of Music sing-a-long and my parents have done the Sound of Music tour in Europe (the love for this musical is inherited!). It may drive him crazy (I know he has *loved* that our VCR is broken and I have not been able to watch my VHS version), but totally worth it!
Lenetta @ Nettacow on December 14, 2009 at 4:27 pm

Whoa. Not sure if I actually caught a snippet about this somewhere or what, but I was totally trying to remember the words to Do, a Deer the other night in the shower. That pushes me over the edge for the Sound of Music bundle, even though I love me some cured pig.
ks grandma on December 14, 2009 at 4:29 pm

An alto here opting for ham! Thanks for this opportunity Mir. I don’t know how you manage to look so pretty with all the workpeople under foot. You go girl!
Cindy on December 14, 2009 at 4:29 pm

Pig meat!!
LeeAnn Cheeley on December 14, 2009 at 4:29 pm

I love Sound of Music & I love ham. I have 7 kids who sing & they love ham too. I’m sure this qualifies me for something.
Erin on December 14, 2009 at 4:30 pm

Sound of Music!! I always wanted to be Liesl…
Linda on December 14, 2009 at 4:30 pm

Since my boys mock my singing, and I would have to singalong to that CD, I would like the HAM
Meredith on December 14, 2009 at 4:32 pm

Rosie on December 14, 2009 at 4:56 pm

I adore the Sound of Music. But alas, have it only on a VCR tape, and no longer have a VCR, now that I think of it. (How is that possible that they became unnessary so very quickly?)
Beachgal on December 14, 2009 at 4:57 pm

Ham ME!
Heather on December 14, 2009 at 5:00 pm

HAM HAM a scrumptious HAM! I already have the movie, so I can honor the contest with a viewing while we eat delicious ham.
Anna on December 14, 2009 at 5:00 pm

I can’t sing to save my life so I have to have someone else do it for me. Might as well be Julie Andrews. Sound of music, pretty please with a cherry on top.
Karen on December 14, 2009 at 5:01 pm

I’d love a free ham for Christmas dinner!

I’d love the Sound of Music package! I remember when we had those tiny crappy handheld “pianos” when I was a kid (that came with a little pocket to keep it in, if you remember). I learned to play “Do, a Deer” on it, so in my head, I always sing, “Do, re mi, do mi do mi. Re, mi fa fa mi re faaaa!” I know the whole song that way. Jealous, aren’t ya? 😉

Queen on December 15, 2009 at 10:29 am

HAM!! 🙂
Lady Faire on December 15, 2009 at 11:07 am

Oh, a ham sounds just lovely! I remember before DVDs and VCRs when you got to stay up late to watch Sound of Music. And you tried to time bathroom breaks so you didn’t miss it. And if you fell asleep you were out of luck until next year. It’s such an instant gratification world – I wish kids could learn this kind of lesson. (sorry, stepping off soapbox) A ham, please!
Chris S on December 15, 2009 at 11:19 am

Oh, a ham sounds great, thank you.

donna moore on December 15, 2009 at 1:51 pm

The ham would be wonderful for our family!! I can imagine my kitchen full of the fragrance of ham baking and then ham and bean soup on one of these frigid days. Our high temp. today is a whopping 5 degrees F!
Andrea on December 15, 2009 at 2:04 pm

Sound of Music would be wonderful!
One of my favorite things!

Merry Christmas!
DawnA on December 15, 2009 at 3:35 pm

Sound of Music! Before I saw the movie I heard the album (not dating myself too much) at my grandparents house. I LOVED it. Then I saw the movie. SIGH-I wish I was a VonTrapp-after Maria came of course.

Debbie on December 16, 2009 at 12:24 am

I love ham, but this time it loses out to Maria. I can torment my kids even more with my screechy version of The Sound of Music.

Thanks, Mir!
Laura on December 16, 2009 at 1:22 am

I would LOVE the Sound of Music bundle!! I have the soundtrack cd for this, but my children have never seen the movie. I remember getting to watch it at my grandma’s on a couple occasions when it ran on tv. (We didn’t have a tv in our home growing up and it was a BIG deal to watch it there.) Fun memories! 🙂
Shirley on December 16, 2009 at 1:15 pm

Love love love the Sound of Music!!! We sing the songs and reminisce about Grandma and her love for the movie! Just the title of the movie brings a smile to my face!
M on December 16, 2009 at 2:27 pm

Wow, this is actually a really tough choice. My twin 4 yr old boys are starting to appreciate the music from Sound of Music (though they get it confused with the music from Mary Poppins) and I LOVE it. But on this one I will go with the ham. 🙂 Thanks, pretty Mir.
Connieh30 on December 16, 2009 at 4:25 pm

Hmmm two of my favorite things. 😉 I guess if push comes to shove I would like the ham–money’s pretty tight right now.

We’d love to win the ham! *crossing fingers*

Sound of Music is my choice because the hills are alive … even after the pig’s been eaten. 🙂

I would pick the ham. We already have the sound of music. It’s one of our favorites.

OHhhh…this is a hard one, I LOVE both. But since I already have the CD, I’m going to have to go with the ham.

I’m in love with the Captain. True story.

I’d love to see him in a pop-up book! 🙂

Ham please!!
Miriam on December 16, 2009 at 11:48 pm

Ham, please! My family would devour that…I don’t think I’ve EVER bought a ham. Too cheap. Good thing my sister isn’t and she brings one to all the family meals! 😉 Wouldn’t she be delighted if I returned the favor!

An anniversary, and a feast
