10 Christmas Songs You Need To Listen To

dbknews.com

It's that time of year again! Christmas commercials are on the TV, stores have begun decorating for Christmas, and everyone is anxiously awaiting the upcoming holiday season. Almost every well-known music artist, has attempted a Christmas album, some doing great, and some failing terribly. I have compiled a list of the ten songs you need to listen to this upcoming Christmas season to really get in the fun, holiday spirit.

In no particular order:

1. "Where Are You Christmas" // Faith Hill

Most people will recognize this song from Cindy Lou Who singing it in "The Grinch", but give a listen to the full original song. A bit on the slower side, but still an excellent choice, especially for sitting with a mug of hot chocolate by the Christmas tree.

2. "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home" // Michale Buble

To be honest, Michael Buble's whole "Christmas" album is truly a work of art. This song has the perfect amount of jingle bells in the background, mixed with Buble's velvety voice makes it the perfect tune to listen to while dancing around the house decorating for Christmas.

3. "Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree" // Brenda Lee

Christmas music would not be same without some classics. The old-fashioned vibe makes it perfect for reminiscing on past Christmases and the wonderful memories that come with that.

4. "Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays" // N Sync

There's nothing wrong with enjoying some 90's boy band Christmas tunes as this one never fails me to get in the Christmas feels. You really need to give this a listen if you haven't yet. It won't be a letdown.

5. "It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year" // Andy Williams

One of the most well-known Christmas classics, the holiday season would not be the same without some Andy Williams.

6. "Carol Of The Bells" // Destiny's Child

From Beyonce's former girl band days, another 90's option that you can't go wrong with.

7. "Baby It's Cold Outside" // "Glee" Version

There are so many versions of this duet, but the "Glee" Version with Kurt and Blaine is one of the best, in my opinion.

8. "Mistletoe" // Justin Bieber

This one will become a classic- mark my words. Even if you don't like Bieber as much as I do, do your ears a favor and listen.

9. "All I Want For Christmas Is You" // Mariah Carey

Honestly, I think most people can agree with me that Mariah's extremely upbeat song is one of the most fun songs to sing along with and can really help you get in the Christmas spirit.

10. "Please Come Home For Christmas" // Eagles

A more mellow song, but still very enjoyable.

Seriously, after listening to each of these songs you'll definitely be more in the Christmas spirit!

10 Truths About Being In A Sorority

(For Girls Who Are Interested In Greek Life)

LaGrange College

Rebekah Lee

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.
