I know it's still November, but I'm a Christmas person. Once Halloween is over, I consider it Christmas season. November 1st is the first day of Christmas in my book. There are people who will argue with me and say that Thanksgiving is the best because we get to stuff our faces with good food and dress nicely just to go to the living room, and while I think that Thanksgiving is fun, it's nothing compared to Christmas.

Whatever your favorite holiday is, I think that we can all agree that Christmas has some pretty awesome songs. Here are 25 Christmas songs that you can blast on repeat every day in December until Christmas.

1. "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas" - Michael Bublé

2. "All I Want for Christmas is You" - Mariah Carey

3. "Let it Snow" - Frank Sinatra

4. "Jingle Bell Rock" - Brenda Lee

5. "Little Drummer Boy" - Ray Charles

6. "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch" - Thurl Ravenscroft



7. "Carol of the Bells" - Trans-Siberian Orchestra

8. "Baby It's Cold Outside" - Idina Menzel and Michael Bublé

9. "Sleigh Ride" - Leroy Anderson

10. "Santa Claus is Comin' to Town" - Bruce Springsteen

11. "Last Christmas" - Taylor Swift

12. "White Christmas" - The Drifters

13. "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" - Michael Bublé

14. "Mele Kalikimaka" - Bing Crosby and The Andrews Sisters

15. "Feliz Navidad" - Jose Feliciano

16. "O Holy Night" - Celine Dion

17. "Christmas Song" - Alvin and the Chipmunks

18. "Where Are You Christmas?" - Faith Hill

19. "Do You Hear What I Hear?" - Carrie Underwood

20. "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" - The Jackson 5

21. "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" - Destiny's Child

22. "Jingle Bells" - Frank Sinatra

23. "Deck the Halls" - Nat King Cole

24. "Hallelujah" - Pentatonix

25. "Holly Jolly Christmas" - Holly Jolly Christmas

Full disclosure--these aren't in any order. I'm not saying "Hallelujah" by the Pentatonix is the worst of these songs, and I'm not saying that "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas" by Michael Bublé is the best song on this list (let's be real, we all know the best Christmas song is "All I Want for Christmas is You" by Mariah Carey).

I'm also not saying that these are the only artists who sing these songs, I'm just saying that I like the Taylor Swift version better than Wham!'s version of "Last Christmas." I know that Christmas isn't the only holiday at this time of the year, but holidays are about spreading cheer and happiness to everyone, no matter what they do or don't celebrate. Let's remember to be kind to each other this holiday season, and maybe that will continue after New Year's Eve and 2018 will be the year that everyone settles their differences peacefully.

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.
