Songs That Will Put You In The Christmas Spirit

Nothing puts you in the holiday spirit like Christmas music. Singing about joy, love, weather, Santa Claus, Rudolph, and Frosty makes me happy during this time of year. I started listening to Christmas music a week before Thanksgiving. I just couldn't wait! Now, it is finally after Thanksgiving; therefore, more and more people switch on the Christmas tunes. To make sure that people listen to the best Christmas songs, I have composed a list of a little bit of jazz, pop, and classical hits that I play non-stop during this special season.

1. All I Want for Christmas by Mariah Carey

Even though this song is overplayed, this song is a Christmas favorite. It's my favorite song to belt during the holiday season!

2. Last Christmas by Wham!

Wham!'s hit is covered countless times. It's a classic. One of my favorite version is from Glee when Lea Michele and Cory Monteith sang it while shopping for a Christmas Tree.

3. NOEL (Album) by Josh Groban

I believe this is the #1 Christmas album. With a variety of songs and guest singers, Josh Groban puts you in the Christmas spirit.

4. Believe by Josh Groban

Josh did it again with his song featured in the soundtrack for the motion picture-—"The Polar Express."

5. Mistletoe by Justin Bieber

Who doesn't find this song catchy?

6. Little Saint Nick by The Beach Boys

Even after 50 years, this song is a classic.

7. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays by *NSYNC

I actually forgot about this song over the years. I was compiling a song list on Spotify and found this gem. Who doesn't love listening to some Justin Timberlake and the gang?

8. White Christmas by Bing Crosby

Who watches White Christmas every year? It's a classic. Bing delivers soul and warm in his song.

9. It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas by Michael Bublé

Bublé adds a little jazz with this classic hit.

10. Frosty The Snowman by Ella Fitzgerald

Ella never disappoints! Her version is a great adaptation of the classic hit.


There you have it! Songs that will warm your heart and put you in the Christmas spirit. Next time you create a playlist on iTunes or Spotify remember these classic hits!

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.

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.
