11 Christmas Songs You Can Use for Alternate Purposes

When the holidays have got you down, feel free to use these favorites in a manner that is not specific to the birth of a certain baby.

I know of many a person out there who despises the thought of Christmas music being employed prior to the week of the arrival of the good baby Jesus. Many of these folk may simply be tired of hearing "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy" at Kroger. To add to this, a large number of people don't celebrate Christmas to begin with, and on a sadder note, many people associate the holidays with loss, depression and stress. So it is for these wide variety of yuletide-deficient beings that I propose the reclaiming of Christmas music. People already do it all the time with "My Favorite Things" for some god only knows reason. Let's make Christmas songs feel like they're really just about boring, everyday things - which really, shouldn't every song be that relatable? Half of these songs were about a fat dude breaking and entering anyways.

1. Silent Night

To be used when your living mates are being too loud and you are feeling neither "calm" nor "bright." To be sung as metal as possible.

2. Santa, Baby

For those times when you need a booty call from your sugar daddy who is going to come down your "chimney."

3. Baby, It's Cold Outside

For when you need an excuse to get away from a sexual predator.

4. Let it Snow!

To be played at any time that it is snowing, which Christmas has yet to trademark.

5. Winter Wonderland

For when you need to tell your Parson Brown-clown-looking snow dude that he can "do the job" when he's in town and that you'll be playing "the Eskimo way." Or if you're just wondering where the bluebirds have gone.

6. What Child is This?

For when you find a lost child at the grocery store.

7. Sleigh Ride

For all those times you need to catch a ride to Farmer Gray's.

8. White Christmas

Here's a fun game, just replace the word 'Christmas' with 'privilege,' and you have a new supremacist rallying anthem!

9. Little Drummer Boy

For when you're too poor to buy a baby shower gift and you have only your bare minimum musical skills to offer.

10. Mary, Did You Know?

When you want to mansplain to someone named Mary that she does in fact have a cool child.

11. It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year

Everything about this song is ambiguous. Feel free to apply it to any part of the year that you find most wonderful and/or when you find anything or anyone to be wonderful.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
