5. Underneath the Tree

One many may not know but definitely a must listen. Part of Kelly Clarkson's Christmas album, Wrapped in Red, Underneath the Tree embodies the joyful and cheer we all feel while singing at the top of our longs on a cold December's night.

4. All I Want For Christmas Is You

A complete and total classic. Mariah Carrey's All I Want for Christmas is You is THE Christmas song everyone knows. Not only the most popular but definitely one of the more romantic holiday melodies. A song to sing with friends, family, or in the shower, it's a classic that will never phase out.

3. Believe

Josh Groben's Believe made its debut in the now classic Polar Express. An absolute legendary Christmas film featuring Tom Hanks, the Polar Express (although a cartoon) conveys the magic that is Christmas and the extraordinary creation of a child's imagination. Believe is a song that reminds us all to have a little more faith in hope, magic, and the endless possibilities of life.

2. Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas

Judy Garland's Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas is another classic and most likely a more known one. First sang in "Meet Me in St. Louis," Judy Garland's unique and recognizable voice will live on just like her work. Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas lives on in classic holiday films as well. It's a song of warmth, family, and pure goodness. With the lyrics "in a year our troubles will be far away," comforts the most problematic of people to know that every day is a new day and by next Christmas, whatever problems you're facing will be nonexistent.

1. O Holy Night

The ultimate Christmas classic and on the more religious side, O Holy Night is the essence of beauty as it tells the story of the true meaning of Christmas.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
