My Sixteen Favorite Christmas Songs

YouTube

It's Christmas y'all! You know what that means? CHRISTMAS MUSIC!!!!!!!!

(Can you tell I'm excited?)

So, to get you in the mood for Christmas, here's my sixteen favorite Christmas songs!

1. O Holy Night by Il Divo

I love this version the best simply because Il Divo is so fantastic and it's beautiful. Plus, they're pretty fun to look at.

2. Merry Xmas (War is Over) by John Lennon

Yes, I am a Lennon fan. Yes, I know this was a publicity stunt. It's still my favorite.

3. Wonderful Christmastime by Paul McCartney

Does this even need an explanation? I've concluded that it doesn't.

4. Baby, It's Cold Outside by Bing Crosby and Doris Day

This song is so classic, how can I not include it?! Plus, Christmas isn't Christmas without Bing Crosby!

5. Fairytale of New York by The Pogues

Okay, so this is half Christmas song, half 'what am I listening to' but it is definitely one of my favorites! Don't judge me.

6. Do They Know It's Christmas by Band Aid 1984

This is such an important song even after all these years!

7. Last Christmas by Wham!

What's better than Wham? Wham at Christmas!

8. Run Rudolph Run by Chuck Berry

To me, this song is a must! I think of Home Alone every time I hear this song and it's tradition to watch that movie in our house!

9. Mary, Did You Know? by Pentatonix

If you haven't heard this, you're missing out. I love this song regardless, but this version is amazing.

Also, this version. Because holy impressive.

10. Santa Baby by Eartha Kitt

Not only is this song what everyone wants for Christmas, it's super sensual without being creepy. I mean, who doesn't want a yacht?

11. I'm Dreaming of A White Christmas by The Drifters

This is a cute song as it is, but this version is so much fun!

12. Merry Christmas, Darling by The Carpenters

I think I'm just partial to this song because I've sang it, but it's just so perfect.

13. Christmas Eve/Sarajevo by Trans Siberian Orchestra

It's just not Christmas without TSO. If you think it is, YOU'RE WRONG.

14. Carol of the Bells

I pretty much like any version of this song. Seriously. Any version.

15. You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch by Thurl Ravenscroft

Fun Fact: Thurl Ravenscroft was also the voice behind Tony the Tiger!

16. All I Want for Christmas is You by Mariah Carey

Did you think you would get through a list of Christmas songs without this classic? YOU WERE WRONG!

!!!!!BONUS!!!!!

So from me to you,

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.
