10 Christmas Songs You Need To Listen To
dbknews.com

It's that time of year again! Christmas commercials are on the TV, stores have begun decorating for Christmas, and everyone is anxiously awaiting the upcoming holiday season. Almost every well-known music artist, has attempted a Christmas album, some doing great, and some failing terribly. I have compiled a list of the ten songs you need to listen to this upcoming Christmas season to really get in the fun, holiday spirit.

In no particular order:

1. "Where Are You Christmas" // Faith Hill

Most people will recognize this song from Cindy Lou Who singing it in "The Grinch", but give a listen to the full original song. A bit on the slower side, but still an excellent choice, especially for sitting with a mug of hot chocolate by the Christmas tree.

2. "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home" // Michale Buble

To be honest, Michael Buble's whole "Christmas" album is truly a work of art. This song has the perfect amount of jingle bells in the background, mixed with Buble's velvety voice makes it the perfect tune to listen to while dancing around the house decorating for Christmas.

3. "Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree" // Brenda Lee

Christmas music would not be same without some classics. The old-fashioned vibe makes it perfect for reminiscing on past Christmases and the wonderful memories that come with that.

4. "Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays" // N Sync

There's nothing wrong with enjoying some 90's boy band Christmas tunes as this one never fails me to get in the Christmas feels. You really need to give this a listen if you haven't yet. It won't be a letdown.

5. "It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year" // Andy Williams

One of the most well-known Christmas classics, the holiday season would not be the same without some Andy Williams.

6. "Carol Of The Bells" // Destiny's Child

From Beyonce's former girl band days, another 90's option that you can't go wrong with.

7. "Baby It's Cold Outside" // "Glee" Version

There are so many versions of this duet, but the "Glee" Version with Kurt and Blaine is one of the best, in my opinion.

8. "Mistletoe" // Justin Bieber

This one will become a classic- mark my words. Even if you don't like Bieber as much as I do, do your ears a favor and listen.

9. "All I Want For Christmas Is You" // Mariah Carey


Honestly, I think most people can agree with me that Mariah's extremely upbeat song is one of the most fun songs to sing along with and can really help you get in the Christmas spirit.

10. "Please Come Home For Christmas" // Eagles

A more mellow song, but still very enjoyable.

Seriously, after listening to each of these songs you'll definitely be more in the Christmas spirit!

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.
