20 Must-Have Songs On Your Christmas Playlist

It's November 28th, Thanksgiving has finally passed, and you know what that means. IT'S TIME FOR CHRISTMAS! I personally thought it was time for Christmas 3 weeks ago, but I'm sure we can all universally say that this week is the time to start "officially" getting into the spirit of the holiday season. Please also enjoy my Christmas picture of me and my dog this year. So put up your Christmas tree, put up your outdoor and indoor decorations, and bake and decorate some Christmas cookies. But while you're doing all that, catching snowflakes, or making snowflakes, make sure you listen to my all time favorite Christmas songs. Because come on, we know you know the words to belt it out too.

1. All I Want For Christmas Is You- Mariah Carey

Because I don't want a lot for Christmas...

2. White Christmas- Bing Crosby

I've been dreaming of a white Christmas too Crosby.

3. Jingle Bells- Frank Sinatra

I love those J-I-N-G-L-E bells.

4. Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!- Dean Martin

Maybe I'll have a guy this Christmas season to make this song reality....

5. Silver And Gold- Burl Ives

Let's be real, you only know this from Rudolph. Oh Yukon Cornelius.

6. Joy To The World- Nat King Cole

Because all of the world should be joyous all the time.

7. The Christmas Song- Nat King Cole

I used to always sing this song without ever knowing the title and it would anger me.

8. It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas- Bing Crosby

Okay so basically any Bing Crosby Christmas song is a go-to for me.

9. Anything off the White Christmas soundtrack

Because that movie is Christmas GOLD.

10. Jingle Bell Rock- Bobby Helms

MEAN GIRLS.

11. Sleigh Ride- Johnny Mathis

If only sleigh rides were more popular...

12. It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year- Andy Williams

Oh yes Andy, yes it is.

13. The Christmas Waltz- Frank Sinatra

"It's the time of year..." So anything Sinatra Christmas is pretty bomb too.

14. A Holly Jolly Christmas- Burl Ives

You heard it here guys, it's the best time of the year.

15. Santa Claus is Comin' To Town- Johnny Mercer

So be good for goodness sake!

16. Winter Wonderland- Tony Bennett

Forever a classic.

17. Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer- Burl Ives

Because, how else were you gunna learn the names of all the reindeer???

18. Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas- Michael Buble

Okay so anything off of his Christmas album is a must listen to this season. Just go ahead and put it on repeat too.

19. Here Comes Santa Claus- Elvis Presley

Oh yes, so hang your stockings my dears.

20. Blue Christmas- Elvis Presley

You know you tried to sing this exactly like Elvis and slide down your hallway in your fuzzy socks.

So obviously I could've had a much longer list, but these are my definite must haves. I hope your decorating and prepping for the holidays will be as festive and happy as mine will!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

The holiday season is full of stress, debt, and forced conversation. While we rush through the month of December, it's important to take a step back and enjoy the moments before they're gone. Most families love to watch Christmas movies, but these beloved films provide more than entertainment. Here are 10 life lessons that I've learned from the holiday classics we watch every year.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

1."But what would happen if we all tried to be like Santa and learned to give as only he can give: of ourselves, our talents, our love and our hearts? Maybe we could all learn Santa's beautiful lesson and maybe there would finally be peace on Earth and good will toward men."

"Sometimes the most real things in the world are the things we can't see."

"If you won't use your heart, who cares if it gets broken? If you just keep it to yourself, maybe it'll be like my rollerblades. When you do decide to try it, it won't be any good. You should take a chance. Got nothing to lose."

"Remember, no man is a failure who has friends."

"Life is made up of meetings and partings. That is the way of it."

"If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find a that love actually is all around."

"Sometimes things look good on paper, but lose their luster when you see how it affects real folks. I guess a healthy bottom line doesn't mean much if to get it, you have to hurt the ones you depend on."

"'Maybe Christmas,' he thought, 'doesn't come from a store. Maybe Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.'"

"Faith is believing when common sense tells you not to."

"There's room for everyone on the nice list."

Hopefully they will make you laugh.

6. Does expecting the unexpected make the unexpected the expected?

10. If 2 mind readers read each other's minds whose mind are they really reading?

11. Is there a synonym for "synonym"?

12. If your shirt isn't tucked into your pants, are your pants tucked into your shirt?

13. Why is it called "quick sand" if you sink slowly in it?

14. If I try to fail, but succeed, which one did I do?
