I think most of us can agree that it's never too early to crank up those Holiday tunes. And what's better than celebrating Thanksgiving with your family while listening to music that brings such holiday cheer?! Here's a round up of some classic holiday tracks you need on your playlist this season!

1. "All I Want For Christmas Is You" by Mariah Carey

Shall we start with a holiday favorite? There's no way this song comes on and you don't jump on your feet to belt it out, even trying those super high notes we can't even hit in the shower.

2. "Baby, It's Cold Outside" by Glee Cast ft. Darren Criss and Chris Colfer

I have to admit that I love this version because if you were as into the show as I was, then the memory of these two finally getting together gets you every time.

3. "Mary, Did You Know" by Pentatonix

I swear this song gives me chills every time I hear it, and sometimes it's even made me tear up. You don't have to be religious to understand the heaviness of this track, but it definitely adds some weight if you are.

4. "Santa Clause Is Comin' To Town" by Bruce Springsteen

Who can forget Springsteen's Santa's coming to town rendition and how he told Clarance to practice real hard so Santa will bring him a new saxophone?

5. "The Christmas Shoes" by Newsong

This one is another tear-jerker and is more for being appreciative of the family you have during the holidays.

6. "Believe" by Josh Groban

If you're a fan of or have ever seen The Polar Express, then this is already on your list. If not, then you definitely should add it on there now!

7. "Feliz Navidad" by Jose Feliciano

Whether you know the lyrics or not, and let's face it, who doesn't know the lyrics nowadays, this is your jam! Always has and always will be.

8. "Last Christmas" by Wham!

Gotta have a heartbreak song on here somehow.

9. "Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!" by Frank Sinatra

Come on. You thought I would leave this one out?

10. "Jingle Bell Rock" by Bobby Helms

We all need a little jingle bell rock in our lives, don't we?

11. "You're A Mean One, Mr. Grinch" by Thurl Ravenscroft

This isn't just on this list because my entire family lives and breathes How The Grinch Stole Christmas.

12. "Where Are You Christmas" by Faith Hill

Again, totally not because we're movie obsessed about Mr. Grinch.

13. "Christmas Canon" by Trans-Siberian Orchestra

I think this one isn't as common but it definitely should be. The melody takes you on such a journey you can't help but get lost in the music.

AI music threatens creativity

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.

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.
