15 Christmas Songs For The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year

It’s finally that time of year again. Our bellies are full of turkey, stuffing and mashed potatoes, a light snow falls softly outside our windows, we finished standing in long lines to get the best Black Friday deals, and it’s officially the appropriate day to turn on Christmas music (because let’s not pretend that we weren’t jamming to Michael Buble’s Christmas album on November 1st at 12:01 am). In my house, Christmas is a time to cuddle up in our comfiest pajamas and binge-watch Christmas movies like "Elf" and "It’s A Wonderful Life." It’s also a time to make an abhorrent amount of Christmas cookies and eat candy canes until we become sick at just the mere mention of the delicious red and white candy. To get us into the Christmas spirit, I have compiled a list of 15 Christmas songs to listen to while we’re rockin’ around the Christmas tree (and, no, I am not sorry for that terrible pun).

  1. It’s Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas (Michael Bublé)
  2. Why Can’t It Be Christmastime All Year? (Rosie Thomas)
    </center>
  3. Santa Claus Is Comin’ To Town (The Jackson 5)
  4. Last Christmas (Wham!)
  5. Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree (Brenda Lee)
  6. Baby, It’s Cold Outside (Margaret Whiting and Johnny Mercer)
  7. Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas (Frank Sinatra)
  8. Sleigh Ride (Ella Fitzgerald)
  9. Carol of the Bells (Trans Siberian Orchestra)
  10. Mary, Did You Know? (Pentatonix)
  11. Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer (Burl Ives)
  12. It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year (Andy Williams)
  13. White Christmas (Bing Crosby)
  14. Do They Know It’s Christmas? (Band-Aid)

    And finally, the most iconic Christmas song:
  15. All I Want for Christmas is You (Mariah Carey)

Happy Holidays!

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:

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.
