10 Songs to Get You in the Holiday Mood

Every year, we hear certain songs and we know it's time. Time for the season of cheer, joy, presents, and family. A few friends of mine from Dartmouth (Nan Hu ('18), Kimberly Ma ('18), and Jiarui Wang ('18)) and I decided to do an intense study of these holiday songs. We tried to figure out which ones are more likely than others to get stuck in your head and to get you in the holiday mood. This is what we came up with*:

1. All I Want For Christmas by: Mariah Carey


2. Last Christmas by: Wham!


3. Santa Baby by: Eartha Kitt


4. Feliz Navidad by: José Feliciano


5. Jingle Bell Rock (Mean Girls Version)


6. Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas by: Frank Sinatra


7. I Want A Hippopotamus for Christmas by: John Rox


8. Run Rudolph Run by: Chuck Berry


9. Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree by: Brenda Lee


10. Jingle Bells


*In no way was this a serious study and we only hope that you enjoy the list we have put together! Happy Holidays, everyone :)

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
