Ahhh...the holiday season: my favorite time of the year. The time of the year where you hear endless Christmas music, secular and religious. All of us have a favorite or a few favorite songs during this time of the year. You will discover Christmas songs from various singers/artists and multiple genres. I think that is why I like Christmas music so much is because of the large variety. I have a lot of holiday songs that I like, but these are my top eight favorites!

1. "Let It Snow"- Boyz II Men, Brian McKnight

I never get tired of this song even though I have it on repeat during the holidays. If you're looking for a classic 90s R&B holiday song, this is it. With Brian McKnight's smooth voice combined with the magical members of Boyz II men, you have a magical record.

2. "Sleigh Ride"- TLC

Yes, TLC has made Christmas songs! I love this song because it's fun to rap along to. Rapping about Santa Claus will definitely put you into the holiday spirit and make you dance along!

3. "The Christmas Song"- *NSYNC

Yes, I am a 90s baby, so of course, I have to add *NSYNC to the list! Their Christmas album was absolutely amazing with traditional songs and even their own songs. This holiday classic is even better with the vocal talent of the members of this boy band.

4. "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas"- Christina Aguilera

This songs makes me regret the fact that I cannot sing, but I sing my little heart out anyway. Christina gives me the chills in this song, and the song itself is just beautiful!

5. "This Christmas"- Chris Brown

Ahh...the old, sweet and innocent Chris Brown days. He put his little heart and soul into this album. This song will always be one of my favorites because Chris' voice pairs extremely well with the song, and it just makes you want to sing along.

6. "Christmas Time Is Here"- Toni Braxton

This is a fantastic spin off of the classic "Charlie Brown" song. Toni Braxton's deep, beautiful and unique voice makes this one of the perfect holiday songs!

7. "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas"- Sam Smith

This song is so good that the music is not even necessary because Sam's voice is just so beautiful. I'm not going to lie...I listened to this song to help me go to sleep during finals week.

8. "Only Thing I Ever Get For Christmas"- Justin Bieber

Before this album, I wasn't really fond of Justin Bieber. This Christmas album was everything just to sum it all up. Out of all the songs on the album, this song is tied with like two others, so I decided to just go with this one.

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.
