As a music lover, you can't do Christmas without some fun tunes to listen to! Personally, I listen to a wide variety of music. Classical, pop, R&B, Broadway, rock, country and so on. Here are my top 10 Christmas albums, not in any order though!! (Bear with me, this is extremely hard to choose. I have more than 10.. I could go on forever. Okay to the list we go!)

1. "A Pentatonix Christmas"

Lately, I have been really into Pentatonix. Their Christmas album is so fun and also amazing! You can NEVER go wrong with harmonies and a cappella.

2. Jackie Evancho's "Someday at Christmas"

You may remember Jackie Evancho as the 10 year old girl with an amazing opera and classical voice on America's Got Talent. Now at age 16, she has made several albums including Christmas ones. Jackie recently released this one. Her voice is phenomenal and has grown so much.

3. Dolly Parton's "Home For Christmas"

Nothing like listening to one of the queens of country music sing some Christmas songs that talk about faith and joy. Love this album oh so much.

4. Mariah Carey's "Merry Christmas"

Okay, don't lie... we all know Mariah Carey's version of All I Want For Christmas Is You. You don't get through Christmas without hearing it like 20 billion times, but honestly I like to jam out to it....

5. Josh Groban's "Noel"

Another amazing and phenomenal voice I love. You need to listen to this one. That is all I'm going to say.

6. Whitney Houston's "One Wish: The Holiday Album"

Whitney, oh how her voice is so powerful. I love listening to this album during Christmas because the soulfulness she has in her voice is even more special during this time of year!

7. Barbra Streisand's "A Christmas Album"

If you love Barbra and Christmas like I do, then you will love this album!! Classic and simply beautiful.

8. Kristin Chenoweth's "A Lovely Way To Spend Christmas"

If you thought I wasn't going to put this on the list, then you are crazy!! Kristin is known for Broadway, but in this album she goes back to some of her country roots which I love, but don't worry, she does classical and Broadway style songs too on the album!

9. The Beach Boys' "Christmas Album"

As someone who grew up listening to The Beach Boys, it always makes my heart happy to listen to their fun filled Christmas album!

10. Jackson 5's "Christmas Album"

If you like some grooviness when you listen to Christmas songs, then the Jackson 5's album is perfect for you! Very uptempo and fun to jam out to!

Like I said, there are SO many albums I could list. I just adore Christmas and music. Check these albums out this season! You won't regret it! I promise!!

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
