Christmas Songs You Never Knew Were ACTUALLY creepy

He sees you when you're sleeping...

Christmas Songs You Never Knew Were ACTUALLY creepy

Do you ever actually listen to Christmas songs and then become vastly confused at the content? Me too.

Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer

Besides the reindeer, I never understood the point of this song. Especially during Christmas. I’m all for a good laugh more then anyone, but my biggest concern still stays year after year: IS GRANDMA OKAY?! WHY ARE WE NOT CONCERNED ABOUT HER HEALTH!

Baby its Cold Outside

This song just feels very dated. Whenever I picture it playing out in my head, its very 50s esque. The song would be completely fine in the 50s, however with our generations views on rape culture and consent, it kind of leaves you with a bad taste in your mouth after you really listen to the lyrics.

Santa Baby

Why does Santa need to be sexualized? Its just weird! He’s a childhood figure! Its like trying to sexualize Barney… creepy. I get that it’s just a flirting tactic to get what she wants for Christmas, much akin to the party girls who flirt for more drinks, but that’s one analogy I’d rather not compare my sweet St Nick to.

I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus

The older I got, this song had so much more meaning and I honestly have so many questions. Is his mom cheating on his dad with Santa? How much therapy will he have to go through after this? Even if it is suppose to just be his mom and his dad dressed up as Santa, still. ALL. THE. THERAPY.

“I saw Mommy tickle Santa Claus”

This poor kid.

I Want a Hippopottomus for Christmas

Dear little girl,

“No crocodile, no rhinoceroses”

Does you normally ask for zoo animals? Asking for a friend.

“Mom says the hippo would eat me up, but then
Teacher says a hippo is a vegeterian”

This sounds oddly similar to Ralphie's experience with a certain red rider bb gun and we all know how THAT turned out.

Santa Clause is Coming to Town

Not that explaining the concept of a man breaking into your house every year is any less creepy, but this song sure adds to it. After truly hearing these lyrics, I felt like a retraining issue was in order for a certain man in a red suit.

“He sees you when you’re sleeping. He knows when you’re awake.”

That’s some Edward Cullen level creepy right there.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

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.
