With Christmas just around the corner, it's the time to blast Christmas songs. Christmas songs are the best. My favorites are the ones that praise God. It is such a good reminder that this celebratory season is not about Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer or Santa Baby. This is the season to praise God for humbling Himself and coming to earth to dwell with His people. Here are some of my favorite Christian Christmas songs.

1. "How Many Kings" by Downhere

"And how many gods have poured out their hearts / To romance a world that is torn all apart?/ How many fathers gave up their sons for me?"

2. "Silent Night" by Carpenters

"Silent night, holy night! / All is calm, all is bright. / Round yon Virgin, Mother and Child. / Holy infant so tender and mild

3. "The First Noel" by Phil Wickham

"The First Noel the Angels did say / Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay / In fields where they lay keeping their sheep / On a cold winter's night that was so deep"

4. "Mary Did You Know?" by Anthem Lights

"Did you know / That your Baby Boy is heaven's perfect Lamb? / The sleeping Child you're holding is the great 'I am'"

5. "The Little Drummer Boy" by Harry Simeone Chorale

"I played my drum for Him pa-rum pum pum pum / I played my best for Him pa -rum pum pum pum / Rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum / Then He smiled at me pa-rum pum pum pum"

6. "Angels We Have Heard On High" by Sanctus Real

"Angels we have heard on high / Oh, the mountains tremble in reply."

7. "O Come All Ye Faithful" by Phil Wickham

"Hail, Lord, we greet Thee, born this happy morning / Jesus, to Thee be all glory given / Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing"

8. "O Come Let Us Adore Him" by Hillsong Worship

"The oceans and skies / Lift up their voice / And all all He has made / Will rise to bless / The King of all kings."

9. "Come Thou Long Expected Jesus" by Kings Kaleidoscope

"Come Thou long expected Jesus / Born to set Thy people free / From our fears and sins, release us / Let us find our rest in Thee "

10. "What Child Is This?" by Harry Simeone Chorale

"So bring Him incense, gold, and myrrh, / Come, peasant, King, to own Him; / The King of kings salvation brings, / Let loving hearts enthrone Him.

11. "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing" by Rend Collective

"Born that man no more may die / Born to raise the sons of earth / Born to give them second birth"

12. "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" by Hillsong Worship

"A blessed angel came / And unto certain shepherds / Brought tidings of the same / How that in Bethlehem was born / The son of God by name "

13. "O Holy Night" by Kari Jobe

"Long lay the world in sin and error pining / 'Til He appeared and the soul felt its worth "

14. "Do You Hear What I Hear?" by Third Day

"The Child, the Child, sleeping in the night / He will bring us goodness and light "

15. "O Come O Come Emmanuel" by The Civil Wars

"O come, O come Emmanuel / And ransom captive Israel / That mourns in lonely exile here / Until the Son of God appears"

16. "Joy To The World" by Hillsong Worship

"He rules the world with truth and grace / And makes the nations prove / The glories of His righteousness / And wonders of His love "

17. "Christmastide" by The Brilliance

"Christmastide, bring us peace tonight / Christmastide, we thank you for Your life"

18. "His Name Shall Be" by Matt Redman

"He came to lift the weary ones / Give peace and perfect rest / To take away our burdens and / To give a glorious gift"

19. "Oh Light (feat. Gungor and All Sons & Daughters)" by The Liturgists

"Oh light Mending fractured earth / The soul now felt its worth / Holy night"

20. "Our King Has Come" by Hillsong Worship

"For the Lord has done great things / Oh how my soul will sing"

21. "The First Noel" by Sleeping at Last

"And to the earth

It gave great light. / And so it continued / Both day and night."

22. "Joy" by Mercy Me

"Let no sins and sorrows grow / Nor thorns infest the ground / He makes His blessings flow / Far as the curse is found / Rejoice the Savior reigns"

23. "Glory" by Gungor

"Jesus Jesus / Hope and joy / In a baby boy / Come to love and come to free us"

24."Joyful Joyful" by The Brilliance

"Melt the clouds of sin and sadness / Drive the dark of doubt away / Giver of immortal gladness / Fill us with the light of day"

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Student Life

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
