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,

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
