Top 15 Christmas Songs

Christmas is right around the corner and everyone has their decorations up, they're baking holiday cookies, they're gift shopping, and they're listening to Christmas music 24/7. New Christmas songs are released each holiday season and new artists try every year to come out with a Christmas album. Here are a few of my top favorite Christmas songs in no particular order.

1. Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas

This song, no matter who the artist is, is so beautiful and relaxing. You can never go wrong with this on your Christmas playlist this holiday season. Here's a wonderful version by Frank Sinatra.

2. It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas

This song, of course, is beautiful no matter who the artist is. But, Michael Buble has a beautiful voice for Christmas music, so he certainly gives us a gorgeous performance of it.

3. Christmas Eve - Justin Bieber

I may be biased but Justin Bieber has another voice that works beautifully with Christmas music. "Christmas Eve" was unfortunately not a single from this album and therefore is less popular than his hit "Mistletoe," but I still think it is by far his best Christmas Song!

4. All I Want For Christmas is You - Mariah Carey

Mariah Carey is the queen of Christmas music. Of course, she made the list. (Her version of this song she did with Justin Bieber is even better!)

5. Simply Having A Wonderful Christmas Time - Paul McCartney

This song is so upbeat and cheerful, it's exactly what Christmas is supposed to be!

6. White Christmas

An incredible peaceful Christmas song that everyone has to listen to at least once each holiday season! Maybe it resonates with all of us because it just doesn't feel like Christmas without snow! Here is Kelly Clarkson's version of the song!

7. It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year

Andy Williams with a Christmas classic, for sure!

8. You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch

Songs from Christmas movie classics make for obvious Christmas music classics, as well! It's not the holidays unless you watch "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" and listen to this song!

9. Believe - Josh Groban

"Believe" is such a beautiful song (for more reasons than just Josh Groban's beautiful voice)! It also encompasses everything Christmas is supposed to be about!

10. A Holly Holly Christmas

Another genuinely positive, upbeat Christmas song! This is one of those songs you find yourself singing under your breath during the season because it's just so fun.

11. Let it Snow

I I guarantee you find yourself singing this one during the season, as well! It has a nice Christmassy vibe that's a nice mixture of peaceful but still a little upbeat and fun!

12. Fa La La [a cappella] - Justin Bieber ft. Boyz II Men

I tried my best to not put Justin's entire "Under the Mistletoe" album on this list, so I settled for two songs. This song, the a cappella version especially, is so vocally beautiful and can put anyone in the Christmas spirit. And it's nothing but vocals!

13. Do You Hear What I Hear?

Carrie Underwood has a beautiful voice for a beautiful and meaningful Christmas song!

14. The Christmas Song

This song makes me feel like I'm already curled up by the fire with a cozy blanket, hot chocolate, and a few gifts are being exchanged between family. Nat King Cole really puts us in the Christmas spirit!

15. Winter Wonderland

A song that surely makes us feel like the bad, snowy weather is a little bit merrier!

Humans and robots face off in a rock band battle with guitars and drums, under dynamic lighting.

StableDiffusion

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.

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.
