My All-Time Favorite Christmas Songs
LA Music Blog

It's that time of the year again. Christmas time. There are favorite Christmas songs fro everybody. They can be the old carols or song with a twist to them. Here are some of my favorite Christmas songs with my favorite version by a particular singer. They are not in any particular order.

1. Gene Autry - Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer

The "Singing Cowboy" probably has the best version of this favorite. It went even #1 on the Hot Billboard Charts back in 1949!

2. Nat King Cole - Silent Night/O Holy Night/The Christmas Song

Probably one of the most amazingly beautiful voices. He can make any song sound angelic. His daughter, Natalie, was also talented like her father.


3. Bing Crosby - White Christmas

Do I need to say more?


4. Dean Martin & Martina McBride - Baby, It's Cold Outside

Makes you want to sing with one of your best friends, doesn't it?


5. Beach Boys - Little Saint Nick

The Beach Boys' Christmas album is one of my favorites and listened to it all the time growing up.


6. Josh Groban - Believe

Couldn't have asked for a better singer to sing this for the film adaptation of The Polar Express. Yes, we do believe!


7. Harry Simeon Chorale - Little Drummer Boy

This song was part of December 1968 TV special and it was a song that filled everyone's hearts with joy and hope to end the year, especially for a year such as 1968.


8. Trans-Siberian Orchestra - Christmas Canon

A choir of children singing is music to many ears, including mine.


9. Elvis Presley - Blue Christmas

The King of Rock and Roll knows how to sing a good Christmas song!


10. The Waitresses - Christmas Wrapping

An original song indeed and also a humorous one for those reminiscing of preparing the Christmas dinner.


Honorable Mentions

Dan Fogelberg - Same Old Lang Syne

Andy Williams - It's The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

Frank Sinatra - Let It Snow

Bruce Springsteen - Santa Claus is Coming to Town

Aaron Neville - Please Come Home For Christmas

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.
