8 Reasons Why Christmas Music Is The Best Genre Of Music

Christmas time is one of the nation’s favorite times of the year, and with it comes the sounds of the season – Christmas Music! Christmas is my favorite holiday because I love the lights, the decorations, but most of all, I love the music. Here are 8 reasons why I think that Christmas music is the best genre of all:

1. You can listen to it anytime of the year

Celebrating the Christmas spirit in December has got to be the most magical time of the year, so why not carry on all that Christmas cheer through the month of July?

2. Christmas music is always cheerful (most of the time)

If you refrain from adding the song “The Christmas Shoes” to your holiday playlist, then Christmas music can put most anyone, even the Grinch, in a good mood.

3. It is convenient for any occasion

Throwing on Michael Buble’s Christmas album during a dinner party anytime during the month of December can really set the mood for a festive evening. It’s even great to accompany a morning run in the snow (if you’re into that) or baking cookies for Santa.

4. It is great for all ages

Nobody can really, ever outgrow Christmas music because most traditional Christmas songs have been remade at one point or another, and in more ways than one, so that every age can enjoy a version sung by their favorite artist.

5. Anyone can sing along to it

Let’s face it, even the small population of people (very, very small) who dislike Christmas music know the lyrics to the most popular songs of the season.

6. Shopping in December is not the same without it

Can you even imagine buying gifts without the faint hint of saxophone and bells in the background? I sure can’t!

7. It’s G-rated


Christmas music is a great genre for parents to leave on the radio without having to worry about the upcoming song when their kiddos are in the room.

8. There is a variety of sub-genres

Whether it be traditional, classical, religious, pop, modern, even or jazz there is a fascinating adaption to most Christmas songs to please anyone’s ear.

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.
