Top 15 Best Christmas Songs

Now that Thanksgiving is over, it's finally time to get in the mood for everybody's favorite season: Christmas. With all the trees and eggnog and movie marathons, it's hard to forget that it is now the most wonderful time of the year. With all the traditions we all hold dear to our heart, there's never a day that goes by throughout the month of December where you don't hear a cliche Christmas tune. Here's a list of the 15 best Christmas songs that desperately need to be on your holiday playlist:

1. "All I Want For Christmas Is You" by Mariah Carey

It's a classic, and you already know every word! Great for jamming out on those long road trips!

2. "Mistletoe" by Justin Bieber

There's nothing better than hearing Beiber's sweet voice singing his own take on his perfect Christmas.

3. "Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer" by Gene Autry

Iconic. You can't go a whole Christmas season without hearing this beautiful tune.

4. "Blue Christmas" by Elvis Presley

The King himself knows how to bring in the season with his hearty version of this classic song.

5. "O Holy Night" by Carrie Underwood

Carrie Underwood's voice singing such a beautiful and sacred Christmas song. Need I say more?

6. "Feliz Navidad" by Jose Feliciano

This is probably the only Christmas song that is socially acceptable to be played from January to November. It's not Christmas without this catchy melody.

7. "Little Drummer Boy" by Bob Seger

His unique raspy voice puts a charming spin on this sweet song.

8. "Last Christmas" by Wham!

Two words: Christmas. Staple. This song has to be played in every department store you enter throughout the season.

9. "Holly Jolly Christmas" by Burl Ives

This classic song can be found in "Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer," and it just isn't Christmas until you hear Ives crooning this lovely tune.

10. "White Christmas" by Bing Crosby

Go back in time with this beautiful song. It'll definitely get you in your holiday feels.

11. "Dominick the Donkey" by Lou Monte

This Italian song is extremely underrated. It is both the happiest and most strange Christmas song I've ever heard.

12. "Oklahoma Christmas" by Blake Shelton and Reba McEntire

Shelton's spin on the most classic Country Christmas song will take you all the way to Oklahoma to celebrate alongside him!

13. "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch" by Thurl Ravenscroft

'Nough said.

14. "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" by Frank Sinatra

The perfect song to top off your Christmas playlist!

15. "Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays" by NSYNC

A young Justin Timberlake singing a Christmas song just for you? Yes, please!

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

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.
