My Top Ten Favorite Christmas Songs

Now that they have started to play Christmas music all over the radio I found it a good idea to write an article about my favorite Christmas songs.

10. Santa Baby

This song actually gets on my nerves but when it comes on the radio in the car I don't change it so that must mean something. Obviously my inner conscience wants to listen to the song.

9. Oh Holy Night

This song brings me to tears when I hear it, it is a slow song that is so powerful. My Church's candlelight service on Christmas Eve plays it every year and it gets me emotional every time.

8. Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree

This is a fun and upbeat song that gets you hype for the holidays, It gets you excited about decorating, going shopping, and going to your work's Christmas party.

7. Santa Claus Is Coming To Town

This song is great because its an uplifting fun song that makes me think of my childhood,when my family and I used to make the cookies and place milk out for Santa. It also reminds me of watching all of the Santa Claus movies and polar express.

6. Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer

If you don't know almost every word to this song then I might be judging you (just a little) This song is probably one of the most over played and sung song around Christmas, but am I still going to belt out all of the words when I hear it? Yes, Of course I am!

5. Do You Hear What I Hear

This song repeats the same few lines a million times but thats what makes a song catchy because you can learn the lyrics relatively easy.

4. Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas

This is a classic Christmas song that I swear will be played a million and four times this christmas but I don't care because I don't think it will ever get old because it easily gets everyone in the holiday mood. You can never go wrong with the classics.

3. White Christmas

All though I don't think I have ever seen a white Christmas I still like to dream about it. It reminds me of almost every Hallmark Christmas movie because ninety percent of them have snow in them.

2. All I Want For Christmas Is You

We make fun of the one time Mariah Carey sang this song live and it was not the best thing in the world, but this song is a awesome song that brings romance into the holidays.

1. Mary Did You Know & Last Christmas

Yes, I have two songs as my top favorite. Both of these songs have different meanings. I love "Last Christmas" because it is catchy and its one of my moms favorites as well. "Mary Did You Know" is just a super powerful song that makes you think about how great Christmas is and who its really about.

I love a lot Christmas songs but I hope you enjoyed this small list of my favorite ones.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

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.
