25 Songs that make Christmas, Christmas!

Christmas is by far the best holiday of the year. Everyone is happy and excited and families come together to celebrate the holiday. Theres food, presents, and most of all there is music. Christmas music adds so much joy to the season. I have created a list of songs that I cannot live without at Christmas time. Although, the artists listed may not be the original writer's of the songs, the versions listed are the ones that I listen to most. These songs have to turn any Scrooge into a believer!

1. "Santa Claus is Coming to Town", Bruce Springsteen


I remember putting this song on repeat. Still do...

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

Every single person has blasted this song and sang it as loud as they can. Even the guys out there!

3. "Christmas Vacation", Marvis Maples

The sounds that makes everyone run grab a blanket and jump on the couch to watch one of the best Christmas movies!

4. "Baby it's Cold Outside", Leon Redbone & Zooey Deschanel

Who could forget the awkward shower singing? We could watch Buddy over and over again.

5. "Rudolf the Rednose Reindeer", Gene Autry

Every year you have to remember every reindeers name but of course the most famous one is Rudolf.

6. " White Christmas", The Drifters

Who doesn't want a white Christmas? But they are so hard to get around here.

7. "Here Comes Santa Claus", Gene Autry

If you don't imagine Santa getting ready to bring presents...are you really listening?

8. "Frosty the Snowman", Gene Autry

What kind of Christmas is it without Frosty?

9. "Let is Snow", Dean Martin

Please, just snow already! Save us all!

10. "Blue Christmas", Elvis Presley

How could we ever forget Elvis, the King of Rock n' Roll.

11. "Grandmas Got Run Over By a Reindeer", Elmo & Patsy

Poor Grandma, such a cute song but such a sad story!

12. " Grown Up Christmas List", David Foster

If only every wish on this last could truly be fulfilled.If only every wish on this last could truly be fulfilled.

13. "It's Most Wonderful Time of the Year", Andy Williams

One of the first songs I play after Thanksgiving is over.

14. "Mary Did you Know", Pentatonix

Who can forget how Mary felt on that night.

15. "I Saw Mama Kissing Santa Claus", The Jackson 5

One thing I never understood as a kid, Why would Mama ever kiss Santa when she has Daddy?

16. " Christmas Time is Here", Alvin & The Chipmunks

Those squeaky voices always seem to make me smile.

17. " O, Holy Night", Josh Groban


18. "Winter Wonderland", Aretha Franklin

I wish we could, "walk in a winter wonderland..."

19. "Silent Night", Kelly Clarkson


A song that never gets old, and explains the true meaning of Christmas.

20. "Feliz Navidad!", José Feliciano

Time to dance your heart away and act like you know Spanish!

21. "Santa Baby", Eartha Kitt

Every girls Santa wish list.

22. "I'll Be Home for Christmas", Bing Crosby

Makes you think of how sad it is when people aren't home with their family on Christmas. Sometimes I really take things for granted.

23. "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch", Glee Cast

He's not really that mean, he's just lonely!

23. "Holly Jolly Christmas", Burl Ives


How is it not the best time of the year?

24. "Joy to the World", Pentatonix

Repeat the Sounding Joy!!

25. "We Wish you a Merry Christmas"


AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!

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.
