I am very serious about the Christmas season. It's one of my favorite things, and I love it all from gift-giving to baking to the decorations, but I especially love Christmas music. Here are 11 songs you should consider adding to your Christmas playlists.

"First Noel" by Leslie Odom, Jr

Leslie Odom, Jr. (a.k.a. Aaron Burr in " Hamilton") released a Christmas album this year, and his cover of "First Noel" warms my soul.

"A Holly Jolly Christmas" by Burl Ives

There's just something so merry about Burl Ives's version. Plus, it's a classic.

"Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" by Kelly Clarkson

I'm sure some will say it's sacrilegious to like any other version but Judy Garland's, but the notes Kelly hits are on point.

"All I Want for Christmas Is You" by Mariah Carey

I mean, y'all knew I had to include this song, right? One of my best friends and I send each other all the Vines of this song.

"Christmas (Baby Please Come Home" by Michael Buble

No Christmas playlist is complete without Michael, and this is one of the best on his album.

"Last Christmas" by Taylor Swift

One of my few complaints about Taylor is that she only released one Christmas album, and that was almost ten years ago. But her cover of "Last Christmas" is definitely a hit, in my opinion.

"The Christmas Song" by Josh Groban

I'm pretty sure everyone has their favorite cover of this holiday classic, but in my book, Josh Groban is king. Have some chestnuts, y'all.

"White Christmas" by Idina Menzel

Of course the Bing Crosby version from the "White Christmas" movie is my preferred version, but Spotify no longer has it, so Idina's cover is my second favorite.

"O Holy Night" by David Archuleta

He has the voice of an angel.

"Believe" by Josh Groban

"The Polar Express" is one of my favorite Christmas movies, and this song absolutely puts me in a holiday mood.

"Les cloches du hameau" by Celine Dion

I love all things French so obviously my playlist has a French carol.

So what songs do you have on your Christmas playlist?

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.

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.

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.
