Christmas is such a happy time of the year, and the songs about Christmas just make getting in the Christmas spirit so much easier. Some people have been listening to Christmas songs since before Thanksgiving because that's how catchy the songs are. Some modern artists just make some Christmas songs seem even more catchier then they originally were. Even some country artists have started recording Christmas songs to fit into their country spirit. Since Christmas is right around the corner, here is a list of some of the best Christmas songs to help you get in the holiday spirit.

Let's be real, anything by Josh Groban is amazing. But put him on a song about soldiers coming home from war to be with their families just makes it so much better.

2. "Santa Claus is Comin' to Town" by Bruce Springsteen

Bruce Springsteen just has one of those voice that makes you want to sing. His cover of this song is the best especially when it's live because then you get to hear the band members jamming out.

3. "All I Want for Christmas Is You" by Mariah Carey

Let's be honest, this is the first song that people think of when they hear the word "Christmas". Whenever someone hears this song, they automatically start singing and pretending that their voices can go as high as Mariah's.

4. "Christmas Song" by Alvin And The Chipmunks

Everyone loves this song mainly because it's three cute little voices that are singing about how Christmas can't be late. The cute little voices make little kids love this song more because they share what they want for Christmas in common.

5. "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" by The Jackson 5

This song will always be a classic because it's by The Jackson 5. Also this song talks about every child's worst nightmare while growing up, is seeing their mom kissing Santa without their dad knowing.

6. "Christmas Time Is Here" by Vince Guaraldi Trio

This song is one of the most famous Christmas duo's. This song just gets you in the Christmas spirit. Everyone loves this song, it even was in the movie Elf.

8. "Do You Hear What I Hear" by Carrie Underwood

This song was a classic before Carrie Underwood covered it, but her singing it makes the song so much better.

9. "Hallelujah" by Pentatonix

Pentatonix is an AMAZING a cappella group and does covers of so many Christmas songs. This song is their most recent cover and it will send chills down your spine and it will get you in the Christmas spirit.

10. "Last Christmas" by Wham!

This song is a classic even though it talks about a Christmas after a breakup.

11. "Jingle Bell Rock" by Bobby Helms

This song will want to make you get up and start dancing where ever you are. This song is so catchy that it even made it into the movie Mean Girls.

12. "White Christmas" by Bing Crosby

13. "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" by Frank Sinatra

Frank Sinatra has one of those voices that can instantly make you happier and this song just brings so much joy to the holiday season.

Realistically any song off their Christmas albums will get you in the Christmas spirit, but this song will make you want to sing with them while decorating a tree.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
