The 13 Best Christmas Songs Ever Created

Winter is coming! No, no I don't mean the white-walker variety, I mean the real-life one. The temperature continues to drop and we can only walk outside in sweatshirts and sweatpants. With the change in weather comes the most wonderful time of year! Christmas is right around the corner, and there is no bigger fan of Christmas than me. I was that one person who started listening to Christmas music on November 1st. With Christmas right around the corner, I thought that it would be a great idea to crank out my list of the top Christmas songs ever made. While my list won't match up with yours, it's the most wonderful time of year, so don't pout or else you'll get coal in your stocking.

13. Rudolph, The Red Nosed Reindeer - Gene Autry

What kind of list would this be without Rudolph? People have been and will continue to sing along to this song for years to come.

12. Winter Wonderland – Louis Armstrong

This song is a classic and the way Louis Armstrong sang it really made the song great. A mix of Christmas and jazz put a perfect bow on this song

11. Sleigh Ride - Ronettes

The Ronettes version of the song was the first version to have the horse whinny at the beginning and end of the song. They also created the chorus part "ring-a-ling-a-ling ding-dong-ding"

10. Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow! – Dean Martin

"Oh, the weather outside is frightful" while i don't agree that the weather is "frightful", I can agree that this a really good Christmas song. Like they always say, Let it snow!

9. The Twelve Days of Christmas – Ray Conniff

I feel like everyone knows the words to this song. Most of it is repetition so it's a really fun and easy song to like.

8. Happy Christmas (War Is Over) – John Lennon And Yoko Ono

The 1960s had just ended and the hippy era was slowly winding down. 1971 was the year John Lennon came out with this song to clash words of peace and Christmas. Maybe we should all listen to this song really quick to promote a little peace.

7. Jingle Bell Rock – Bobby Helms

Most of these songs were created decades ago, and this song is no exception. Bobby Helms Brought the world of rock 'n' roll and Christmas together to create a masterpiece.

6. It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas – Michael Bublé

Michael Buble. I feel like that should be my only explanation for why this song is so good. He has a voice like velvet that makes this song great.

5. Silent Night – Josh Groban

Whenever this song is on the radio, I turn the volume all the way up and wait for the chills to start. Josh Groban can hit that high note with perfection and it is truly chilling.

4. Feliz Navidad – Jose Feliciano

If you don't like this song, you are the Grinch. I feel like every time this song comes on I need to scream the words and dance.

3. All I Want for Christmas Is You – Mariah Carey

Almost everyone agrees that this is the best Christmas song ever, but I like the classics more. Great song, but the next two are just flat out better.

2. The Christmas Song - Nat King Cole

I wanted to put this song at number one, but I have too much respect for Bing Crosby. Nat King Cole sang this song to perfection, but White Christmas is the best.

1. White Christmas – Bing Crosby

Every year I hope for a white Christmas, and this song is icing on the cake. When the snow is falling, this should be the song that plays.


No matter what your favorite Christmas songs are, just go listen to them. The snow will start to fall, and it will soon be Christmas day. You'll be able to give gifts to loved ones, receive gifts from loved ones and create new memories. The Christmas music is just an added bonus and it brings out the best in everyone. Enjoy the music while it lasts people! Feliz Navidad!!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
