My 15 Songs for the Holiday Season

The Holiday season is upon us, and to get you in the Christmas mood here are my top Christmas songs for the season.

15. I want a Hippopotamus for Christmas by Gayla Peevey

Every Christmas list has to have this song included, perfect fun holiday song!


14. Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer by Gene Autry

This song is a classic.


13. Feliz Navidad by Jose Feliciano

One of my favorites, ever since I was a kid.


12. Silver Bells by Rosemary Clooney


Love Silver Bells sung by Rosemary Clooney, mostly because she is in White Christmas and that is my favorite Christmas movie.


11. Jingle Bell Rock by Bobby Helms

Perfect song to sing along to!


10. Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow by Dean Martin

We have a stuffed turtle that is accessorized with a scarf, gloves, and a hat and when you squeeze him he starts singing this song!


9. There’s No Place Like Home for the Holidays by Perry Corno

There are just certain songs that have to be played every year.


8. My Favorite Things by Kelly Clarkson

The Christmas version of the song from The Sound of Music. Love that movie and love this song!


7. Where are you Christmas by Casi Joy

Beautiful song from The Grinch Stole Christmas!


6. White Winter Hymnal by Pentatonix

The first of many songs that I enjoy by Pentatonix.


5. It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year by Andy Williams

Another beautiful classic Christmas song.


4. White Christmas by Bing Crosby

Favorite song from my favorite movie!


3. Mary, Did you Know? by Pentatonix

I never really liked this song until I heard it by Pentatonix, now it's on of my favorites. Plus they created an incredible music video of the song too!


2. Hallelujah by Pentatonix

Such a good chilling version of this song!


1. That’s Christmas to Me by Pentatonix

This song is my number 1 favorite during the holiday season. My rule for myself is that I don't start listening to Christmas music till after Thanksgiving, but this year I broke my rule and the first song I listened to was this one.

Happy Holidays!

AI music threatens creativity

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.

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.
