What Your Favorite Christmas Song Says About You

It's Christmas time and there's no better time to ring in this joyful time of year than with Christmas music. Like every song, we love to scrutinize and analyze the meaning behind our favorite seasonal standards, but no one begs to ask the question, "What do they say about us?" It's time to find out if you're more like a drummer boy or The Grinch.

Song: “We Need a Little Christmas”

You're Christmas AF. As soon as Thanksgiving is over, you are already decked out in your snowflake PJ’s and Santa Claus hat.

Song: “White Christmas”

You’re from California and all you want is a white, snowy Christmas. And it makes you think of all of the snowball fights you'll have with your BFFs.

Song: “Santa Baby”

Break out the mistletoe because all you want for Christmas is some booty. Even if he has a snowy white beard and a belly that shakes like a bowl full of jelly. Hey, you’re flexible.

Song: “Let it Snow! Let it Snow! Let it Snow!”

You’re so overwhelmed by finals and being stuck in school that winter break is so close, you can taste it. You need a snowstorm to delay your finals and give you an excuse to blow off your work and get to be a little kid again and not a stressed out adult.

Song: “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)”

You love Michael Buble and have had his Christmas album on repeat throughout the entire month of December.

Song: “Blue Christmas”

You’re a fan of Elvis and booze and despite the holidays being a time to think of how everyone comes together, you think of people who are alone, which makes you start to feel alone. Cheer up, buttercup.

Song: “Baby, It’s Cold Outside”

You’ve been watching 'Love Actually' and 'The Holiday' far too many times and now all you want for Christmas is Jude Law or Keira Knightley to show up at your doorstep, and then whisk you away in the snow and sing you this romantic, but also verging on creeping duet. One can dream.

Song: “All I Want for Christmas is You”

When it comes to Christmas, you’re all about going back to basics. Mariah Carey’s Christmas album, hot chocolate, snow angels, and peppermint everything, you’re all about sticking to traditions.

Song: “Little Drummer Boy”

You are independent and relate to that little drummer boy, marching your beat and delivering your song in hopes of delighting others. One could say you march to the beat of your own drummer (I had to go there, I’m sorry.)

Song: “Last Christmas”

You’re known for getting quite nostalgic, remembering memories both good and bad. You tend to have trouble letting go of things you may have done or have happened to you this year, especially with ones you care about. During this time of year, you wish you could go back in time to salvage memories and make them better.


Song: “River”

You’ve hit the eggnog one too many times. You’re sad and philosophically making up metaphors to justify for your sadness. The only one who understands you is Emma Thompson’s character, Karen, from 'Love Actually'. Homegirl’s the only one who understands the blues of Joni Mitchell and that just because it’s Christmas, doesn’t mean everything’s all snowflakes and presents.


Rock around that Christmas tree.

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.

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.
