7 Christmas Albums You Need To Listen To This Year

Based on the Starbucks cups I'm seeing around town, it's officially Christmas time. It's time for peppermint mochas and beanies and snow everywhere (if you live in a place where it snows). If you're like me, you probably have holiday music on repeat this time of year and listen to it wherever you are. Because nothing makes you happier than songs about winter wonderlands, right?

If you need some new music for this holiday season, check out these suggestions!

1. "Christmas" by Michael Buble

I think I could listen to this album on repeat for the rest of my life and never get tired of it. His voice is the perfect thing on a cold December night (see what I did there?).

2. "That's Christmas to Me" by Pentatonix

This is the second Christmas album from Pentatonix, and it's my favorite. The song selection on this album is great, and their voices are truly one of a kind. Pentatonix is not a band to sleep on, trust me.

3. "Boogie Woogie Christmas" by the Brian Setzer Orchestra

Who doesn't want to jazz it up during the holidays? I have been listening to this album since I was a kid, and I've even skated to a few songs. Brian Setzer has an amazing style that lends itself well to spicing up your Christmas playlist.

4. "The Polar Express" Soundtrack

Honestly, "Believe" gives me so many feels during the holidays. I love this movie, and the soundtrack is just as good, if not better.

5. "A Charlie Brown Christmas" by the Vince Guaraldi Trio

A classic, of course, and a necessity. I love listening to this album when I'm decorating the house, or just reading a good book with some coffee. You have to listen to this at least twice or the ghost of Charles Schultz will haunt you all season long.

6. "Merry Christmas" by Mariah Carey

Another must-have for this Christmas. Everyone loves Mariah, and this album just makes you feel happy.

7. "Elvis' Christmas Album" by Elvis Presley

There are so many classics on this album that have to be listened to at least once a year. "Blue Christmas" is still one of my all-time favorite Christmas songs.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

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.

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.
