Since Thanksgiving ended, I have been listening to Christmas music non-stop. I always enjoy listening to Christmas music, and its very exciting when I find new songs to jam to. Every time I hear Christmas music I think about the fond memories of my childhood, decorating gingerbread houses, and going to look at Christmas lights with the family. This time of year is truly magically and such a time to treasure, so why not have some great music to listen to while enjoying the holidays? Here are some of my favorites I hope you enjoy!

1. Santa Claus Is Coming To Town by Michael Buble

2. Santa Baby by Michael Buble

3. Last Christmas by Taylor Swift

4. Santa Baby by Marilyn Monroe

5. All I Want For Christmas Is You by Mariah Carey

6. Christmas by Mariah Carey

7. Baby Its Cold Outside by Michael Buble and Idina Menzel

8. Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree by Brenda Lee

9. Blue Christmas by Elvis Presley

10. Christmas Time Is Here by Vince Guaradldi Trio

11. Santa Tell Me by Ariana Grande

12. We Need A Little Christmas by Johnny Mathis

13. We Need A Little Christmas by Glee Cast

14. Deck The Rooftop by Glee Cast

15. Last Christmas by Glee Cast

16. Last Christmas by Wham!

17. O Holy Night by Mariah Carey

18. I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus by Jackson 5

19. Please Come Home For Christmas by Kelly Clarkson

20. Wrapped in Red by Kelly Clarkson

21. My Favorite Things by Kelly Clarkson

22. Oh Come, Oh come Emmanuel by Kelly Clarkson

23. Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer from the TV Movie 1964

24. Where Are You Christmas by Faith Hill

25. Christmas Canon by Trans-Siberian Orchestra

There are many many more Christmas songs to explore and find to play at any Christmas gathering, but these are a few of my many favorites that I have on replay for the Christmas season. My personal favorite albums are Michael Buble and Kelly Clarkson’s Christmas albums, they are full of amazing songs. I suggest Michael Buble’s Christmas album if you like vintage/crooner type music. Kelly Clarkson’s album has some unique songs that other albums don’t have, so if you're in a Christmas song rut I suggest Kelly Clarkson’s album. Trans-Siberian Orchestra is a very nice, calming music that doesn’t have words. I could go on and on about all different types of Christmas music that I like and suggest to you. Personally, I love the older Christmas music, but sadly I could find the right artists on Google. If you listen to 92.9, the day after Thanksgiving they play Christmas music and that is where I found most of my favorite Christmas songs. I also use the Music Choice app to find great holiday music. The app is free and has many different genres of music to pick from. There are so many different types of Christmas music out there to explore and enjoy. I hope you have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

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.
