12 Songs That Create The Ultimate Christmas Playlist
Pinterest

Christmas is my favorite time of the year. It has the best decorations, best clothes and best music. I have my Christmas Cheer playlist ready the day after Thanksgiving, that way I can blast it in the car the next day. Here are my top 12 songs.

1.) Carol of the Bells by Capital Kings

You've probably heard it a thousand times already, but, trust me, you've never heard the Dubstep version. Nothing gets me moving faster than when this song comes on.

2.) Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas by Frank Sinatra

It's a classic. Who wouldn't have this song on their playlist?

3.) The 12 Days of Christmas by Straight No Chaser

Everybody has heard this song, nobody has heard it like this. An acapella rendition that offers all the Christmas carols in it...even a Jewish Hanukkah carol.

4.) Santa Clause is Thumbin' to Town by Relient K

It was not a mistype. This song imagines Santa hitchhiking on Christmas Eve to deliver the presents. Let's hope it doesn't actually happen.

5.) His Favorite Christmas Story by Capital Lights

A sad love story in a song. It's one of my favorite ones to jam to...and also cry to. #foreveralone

6.) Santa Tell Me by Ariana Grande

I like to add in a few new Christmas songs to give a variety in my playlist. This song is so fun to dance and sing to.

7.) O Come, All Ye Faithful by Pentatonix

Okay, honestly all the Pentatonix Christmas albums are actually on the playlist. However, this is my favorite one of them all. It's the drums that get me.

8.) Cold December Night by Michael Bublé

Bublé. How can you not have a Bublé song?

9.) White Christmas by The Drifters

Yes. Yes. Yes. Bing Crosby's original version is the way to go but have you actually heard "The Drifters's" version? Maybe you'll change your mind. (I have both on my playlist).

10.) Jingle Bell Rock by Bobby Helm

Just another classic Christmas song that deserves to be on everyone's playlist.

11.) A Marshmallow World by Seth MacFarlane

The same goes for this one. A classic.

12.) All I Want for Christmas is You by Mariah Carey

WHO DOES NOT HAVE MARIAH CAREY ON THEIR PLAYLIST? ESPECIALLY THIS SONG? Surprisingly, this song is already considered a classic even though it's not that old. This song is so great.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

By: James McDonald

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
