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?

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:

If you are like me, you have an interesting personality. Basically, you love to be sassy and snarky, gossip, and act like a total bitch (not really), but deep down, you are actually a very genuinely nice person. The idea of actually hurting someone truly makes you feel bad, and you probably have never actually hurt someone’s feelings because your kindness always shines through, even if you do not want it to. Not sure exactly what I would call this type of personality, but if you identify with it, here are some feelings you can undoubtedly relate to.
