Top 10 Christmas Songs

Although Thanksgiving has yet to arrive, Christmas is already here. As soon as the sun rose on November first, fall decorations came down and fat men in red suits bombarded department stores. Despite the fact that some people are seriously disturbed by the lights and the decorations, claiming that it's too soon and they won't be in the mood until after Thanksgiving, they can't escape the Christmas music that fills the mall and floods the radio stations. We can't fight it , so we might as well accept it. Here are the top ten Christmas songs to get people in the mood for the most wonderful time of the year.

10. Little St. Nick.

A Beach Boy's classic, this lively tune captures the upbeat spirit of the holiday season.

9. Feliz Navidad.

Another perky carol, this song reminds listeners of the global nature of the world's most widely celebrated holiday.

8. Wonderful Christmas Time.

Written by the famous Beatles, this song is easily recognizable and easy to sing along to.

7. Silent Night.

Often sung on Christmas Eve, this song imbues the singers with a sense of peace and appreciation for the true meaning of Christmas.

6. The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year.

All of the wonderful things about the winter season perfectly wrapped up into a catchy melody.

5. All I Want For Christmas Is You.

An instant hit, one can't truly experience the Christmas without hearing this song while shopping for presents.

4. Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas.

Sung by the ageless Frank Sinatra, this song makes everyone think of home as the snow begins to fall.

3. The Christmas Song.

This song makes everyone want to curl up next to the fire with a mug of hot cocoa.

2. Little Drummer Boy.

With its steady rhythm and its beautiful lyrics, this song makes its way into the hearts of everyone.

1. White Christmas.

Possibly the most famous Christmas song of all time, Bing Crosby evokes the emotions of all who hear this song as he reminds them of their anticipation of the coming day of celebration.

Before the New Year hits and the trees are taken down, these musical classics help everyone enjoy the spirit of Christmas while it lasts.

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.

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.

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.
