10 Underappreciated Christmas Song Lyrics

There has been this long-debated conversation that occurs every year before Thanksgiving. When is it humanly acceptable to blare Christmas music through your car stereo? (Cough. Cough. AFTER Thanksgiving.) While we are on the conversation about Christmas music, allow me to enlighten you on some of the most underappreciated lyrics to the songs that we love to sing!

1. "Mary Did You Know?"

"The child you delivered, would soon deliver you."

2. "We Three Kings"

"Born a babe on Bethlehem's plain. Gold we bring to crown him AGAIN. King forever, ceasing never over us all to reign."

3. "Silent Night"

"Silent night, holy night! Son of God, love's pure light. Radiant beams from Thy holy face. With the dawn of redeeming grace. Jesus Lord, at Thy birth. Jesus Lord, at Thy birth."

4. "Joy to the World"

"He rules the world, with Truth and Grace!"

5. "Baby it's Cold Outside"

"There's bound to be talk tomorrow (think of my lifelong sorrow)
At least there will be plenty implied (if you got pneumonia and died)"

6. "Do You Hear What I Hear?"

"Said the king to the people everywhere
Listen to what I say
Pray for peace people everywhere."

7. "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch"


"You're as cuddly as an eel."

8. "Little Drummer Boy"

"Little baby pa rum pum pum pum
I am a poor boy too pa rum pum pum pum
I have no gift to bring pa rum pum pum pum
That's fit to give our King pa rum pum pum pum
Shall I play for you pa rum pum pum pum
On my drum pa rum pum pum pum"

9. "Away in a Manger"

" Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stay
Close by me forever, and love me, I pray."

10. "I'll Be Home for Christmas"

"Christmas Eve will find me
where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams."

Remember the reason for this season friends: the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He was born as a baby in a manger. His beginnings were lowly and yet the purpose of his coming is tremendous and something to be excited for! Say a prayer for the families that can't celebrate with loved ones this year due to work, traveling, and the Military and hold your babies and loved ones close this year. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, family.

"And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them 'Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.'" Luke 2:8-12 (NIV)

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.
