So Thanksgiving is over, so that means it's officially okay to jam to your favorite holiday songs! So here is a list of the best ones to listen to on repeat.

7. I Want a Hippopotamus For Christmas

Seriously this song is hilarious, because I mean what kid seriously wants to wake up Christmas morning to a giant hippo sitting under their tree. What could you possibly do with a pet hippo?

6. Santa Baby

My absolute favorite cover of this song is Taylor Swift's. Honestly I think she could beat out Mariah Carey for the holiday song crown with just this song alone.

5. Happy Xmas (War is Over) by John Legend

This song has so much power and meaning to it and so it's a great song to get people to think about more than just the gifts. John Legend's smooth and calming voice is a great sound to spread this holiday season.

4. I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus by Jackson 5

These kids did the best remake of this classic jam. I mean it's just not Christmas without Mommy making out with Santa in the living room.

3. Baby It's Cold Outside

Grab anyone and this duet will make some sparks fly. Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Jordan are a good classic version, but my favorite version of this song is by Micheal Buble and India Menzel.

2. Mistletoe by Justin Beiber

This boy will always have a sweet spot in my heart and I'll always know every word to his Christmas album.

1. All I Want for Christmas is You by Mariah Carey

Mariah is clearly the queen of holiday songs, always a solid jam. Seriously if you don't know and love this song you are the Grinch.

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.

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.
