Alright guys, it’s officially December. We’re well past Thanksgiving, so nobody can tell you that it’s “too early” for Christmas music. (But let’s be honest, it’s never too early!)

Holiday music can be heard on almost any radio station and I’m sure everyone has a favorite song or two, but I’m here to give you a list of the top 10 Christmas songs.


10. Where Are You Christmas? - Faith Hill

This song had to make the list considering that it's in a class Christmas movie, The Grinch! It's a great counter to all of the upbeat Christmas songs that we always hear around this time of year. (Plus it's great when you're alone in the car and want to belt out a chorus or bridge.)

9. The Christmas Shoes - NewSong

Any song that can make you cry even after hearing it a hundred times is definitely worthy of the list -- I was just listening today and didn't even make it past the first verse before I started sobbing. Some may say that this song is a downer, but it's still a classic Christmas song.

8. Christmas - Trans-Siberian Orchestra

If you try to tell me that you don't manage to sing along to this entirely instrumental song, you're lying.

7. Believe - Josh Groban

Josh Groban's voice is the most soothing thing on the planet. The Polar Express is one of the best Christmas movies. And this song just embodies Christmas. Enough said.

6. Do They Know It's Christmas? - Band Aid 20

Not only is this song extremely catchy and great to sing along to, but it also came out for a charitable cause. With people like Bono on vocals and Sir Paul McCartney playing the instrumental, this song won't be leaving this top 10 list any time soon.

5. The 12 Days of Christmas - Straight No Chaser

This quirky spin on the holiday classic has to be one of the best acapella covers ever. The way that SNC effortless mixes various other holiday songs into this one makes this a shoe-in.

4. White Christmas - Bing Crosby

Bing Crosby is like the grandfather of Christmas. He's the Santa of the holiday music realm, and this song in particular is a classic that everyone can sing along with.

3. Last Christmas - Wham!

This song somehow manages to make me hate an ex that doesn't even exist, so bravo to that.

2. I'll Be Home for Christmas - Michael Buble

If you don't listen to Michael Buble's Christmas album during the holiday season, then you're probably doing Christmas wrong. His renditions of holiday classics are amazing with his Sinatra-esque voice. This song in particular my favorite on the album.

1. All I Want for Christmas is You - Mariah Carey

Let's be honest, whether you love this song or love to hate this song, nothing can stop you from belting along to every word, especially those high notes at the end.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
