Changing Up Your Christmas Playlist

We all love the Holidays, and all of the things that come with this festive season, but there are some things that are not always the best. A major thing that radio stations and tv channels have a problem with is playing the same song over, and over again. Though I cannot freaking wait for Christmas to get here, there are some songs I would rather not hear again until next season. Why don't you listen to some newer songs instead? This list shows an overrated Christmas song and then a song you should listen to instead!

Jingle Bell Rock - Bobby Helms


Instead: Christmas Lights by Coldplay


All I Want For Christmas Is You - Mariah Carey

Instead: Love Is Christmas by Sara Bareilles


The Chipmunk Song - The Chipmunks


Instead: Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy - Pentatonix

Rudolph, The Red Nosed Reindeer - Gene Autry

Instead: Snoopy's Christmas (Christmas Bells) - The Royal Guardsmen

Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer - Elmo and Patsy

Instead: Winter Wonderland/Here Comes Santa Claus - Snoop Dogg and Anna Kendrick


Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree - Brenda Lee

Instead: Christmas In The Room - Sufjan Stevens


Jingle Bells - Singing Dogs


Instead: Santa Tell Me - Ariana Grande


I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus - Jimmy Boyd

Instead: Cold December Night - Michael Bublé


Frosty The Snowman - Gene Autry

Instead: Dominick The Donkey - Lou Monte

Santa Baby - Eartha Kitt

Instead: Silver Snow - Derik Nelson


Do You Hear What I Hear - Bing Crosby


Instead: Mary Did You Know? - Pentatonix


Explain your playlist this holiday season, trust me, you'll thank me later!

I'll never forget the day that someone told me these words: "Madison, I think you're a good friend to everyone but yourself." I stood there completely in awe of that statement. Before that day, I never really thought about being a friend to myself, and at the time, I didn't really know what it meant. Now, I realize that you can't fully be there for other people unless you're there for yourself, too. You can't show up for others until you're willing to show up for yourself.

Here are five things everyone should learn in order to be a better friend to themselves. These steps are hard, but they're so worth it.

Thanksgiving Break is most likely everyone’s favorite break during the fall semester. You get to go home and reminisce with all your high school friends. That diet you’ve been on for the past month goes out the window, and you get to eat until you put yourself into a food coma. There’s no rush on homework and you can just lie in bed and Netflix to your heart’s content. To me that sounds like an ideally wonderful break, and totally stress-free.
