10 Must-Hear Christmas Albums This Holiday Season
Retronaut Snapshots

1: Cee Lo Green - CeeLo's Magic Moment (2012)

This is one of my absolute favorite Christmas albums, because of Cee Lo's natural approach to each and every song. There's even a guest spot by the Muppets, but the whole album is amazing. It has this fun vibe to it, and I've always loved it from when I first heard it.

2: Ringo Starr - I Wanna Be Santa Claus (1999)

This is an automatic favorite because it's Ringo, and he's wonderful!! That's all.

3: Bad Religion - Christmas Songs (2013)

This is one of the most rad Christmas releases ever, and it just flies by every time you listen to it. Seriously awesome versions of here.

4: Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass - Christmas Album (1968)

Here is our traditional Christmas day album!! Every year on Christmas morning, we wake up to the wonderful sounds of this album, as the start of our holiday, and it's wonderful every time.

5: Cyndi Lauper - Merry Christmas...Have A Nice Life (1998)

This is a really interesting because it's a good blend of heartfelt, fun Christmas tunes, which is really Cyndi Lauper in a nutshell. That being said, she aced it.

6: Various Artists - Verve Remixed Christmas! (2008)

This is another cool one because it's all the older Christmas tunes being remixed by this generation and they sound awesome!!



7: Gwen Stefani - You Make It Feel Like Christmas (2017)

This is one of the newest albums on this list, but it's honestly wonderful to see these universes collide.

9: Squirrel Nut Zippers - Christmas Caravan (1998)

This also goes on the Christmas day list, and it's marvelous. Indian Giver is one of the best!!

10: Sia - Every day Is Christmas

This album is marvelous and wonderfully original. The arrangements are amazing.

So, this ended up being my memories and recollections for these albums, but I assure you they are all great listens and perfect ways to get into the holiday spirit!!

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.

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.
