It is finally December! 'Tis the season to stay inside and watch Christmas movies with your families. Everyone has to leave the house eventually though and when you do, Christmas music is everywhere. We all have our favorites, but these ten are better than any others.

1. Sleigh Ride

This one is tricky because it has several different versions. Personally, my favorite is the orchestra version. I really don't care for the lyrics in the song at all.

2. Baby It's Cold Outside

This is another one where the version makes all the difference. Dean Martin never actually did a duet to this song, but Martina McBride later added her vocals in there. It is honestly the only version of this song that I like.

3. White Christmas

Bing Crosby sang this song in one of the best Christmas movies ever made. That's all I really need to say about that.

4. Little Drummer Boy/Peace On Earth

Another Bing Crosby song, but this time he is joined by David Bowie in one of my favorite Christmas duets. If you haven't heard it, you need to look it up and hear it. There is also a parody of it by Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly that is pretty great.

5. Let it Snow

I live in lower Alabama. I never get snow, especially not on Christmas. I can dream though, right?

6. Do You Hear What I Hear?

Carrie Underwood does a rendition of this song that is absolutely gorgeous. It will always make my top 10.

7. Christmas In Dixie

Lesser known, but still amazing. The band Alabama has my favorite Christmas album of all time and this song is a big reason as to why.

8. I'll Be Home For Christmas

Michael Bublé can sing just about any Christmas song, let's be honest. This one is probably my favorite of his though.

9. All I Want For Christmas (Is You)

Is it really Christmas without Mariah Carey singing this song?

10. You're a Mean One Mr. Grinch

For those of us who are a bit like the Grinch during the holidays, find the 2000 movie version with Jim Carey.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
