Listening to Christmas music doesn't mean skipping Thanksgiving

The endless fall feud between Thanksgiving and Christmas rages on each year, almost instantly after Halloween. Both holidays are meant to be celebrated in big ways. However, I believe it's never too early to start listening to Christmas music. This doesn't mean I'm completely skipping over Thanksgiving either. But come on, have you ever actually made an entire playlist of Thanksgiving music?

Christmas music is meant to make you sing along as loud as you can, and force you to smile the entire time while doing it. In my opinion, as long as it makes you happy, I think you should sing Christmas music in April. After all, if it makes you happy, why not sing it for as long as you can?

Some of my favorites from recent years include Justin Bieber, Michael Buble and Pentatonix. Although you can never forget about Eartha Kitt's "Santa Baby," Wham's "Last Christmas," or Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas."

Why not get ready for Christmas early? Getting into the Christmas spirit makes everyone happy and gives you the perfect reason to decorate your house as much as you possibly can. How could you not be happy singing along to your favorite Christmas songs while looking at hundreds of lights?

Skipping over Thanksgiving is still out of the question. Shoving as much food into your face as possible then pretty much staying up all night to shop for Black Friday should never be something to skip over!

Overall, celebrating both holidays for the next two months sounds pretty good to me. Both holidays give you time to spend with your family and bring endless joy to everyone in many ways. So go ahead, eat your turkey and sing Jingle Bells as loud as you can. Spread the Christmas spirit and make everyone around you just as happy as you are!

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.
