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!

University of Wisconsin Branch Schools

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

There are a lot of really easy, common names in the U.S. and while many of those simple names have different spellings, most of the time, pronunciation is not an issue that those people need to worry about.

Don't Be That Person

Bowling Green State University

Puerto Ricans. They are very proud people and whether they were born on the island or born in the United States by Puerto Rican parent(s). It gets even better when they meet another fellow Puerto Rican or Latino in general.
