11 Christmas Songs To Put You In A Holiday Mood
Digital Trends

I am very serious about the Christmas season. It's one of my favorite things, and I love it all from gift-giving to baking to the decorations, but I especially love Christmas music. Here are 11 songs you should consider adding to your Christmas playlists.

1. "First Noel" by Leslie Odom, Jr

Leslie Odom, Jr. (a.k.a. Aaron Burr in " Hamilton") released a Christmas album this year, and his cover of "First Noel" warms my soul.

2. "A Holly Jolly Christmas" by Burl Ives

There's just something so merry about Burl Ives's version. Plus, it's a classic.

3. "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" by Kelly Clarkson

I'm sure some will say it's sacrilegious to like any other version but Judy Garland's, but the notes Kelly hits are on point.

4. "All I Want for Christmas Is You" by Mariah Carey

I mean, y'all knew I had to include this song, right? One of my best friends and I send each other all the Vines of this song. (This is one of our favorites: https://vine.co/v/Ov6HgQj2ta5.)

5. "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home" by Michael Buble

No Christmas playlist is complete without Michael, and this is one of the best on his album.

6. "Last Christmas" by Taylor Swift

One of my few complaints about Taylor is that she only released one Christmas album, and that was almost ten years ago. But her cover of "Last Christmas" is definitely a hit, in my opinion.

7. "The Christmas Song" by Josh Groban

I'm pretty sure everyone has their favorite cover of this holiday classic, but in my book, Josh Groban is king. Have some chestnuts, y'all.

8. "White Christmas" by Idina Menzel

Of course the Bing Crosby version from the "White Christmas" movie is my preferred version, but Spotify no longer has it, so Idina's cover is my second favorite.

9. "O Holy Night" by David Archuleta

He has the voice of an angel.

10. "Believe" by Josh Groban

"The Polar Express" is one of my favorite Christmas movies, and this song absolutely puts me in a holiday mood.

11. "Les cloches du hameau" by Celine Dion

I love all things French so obviously my playlist has a French carol.


So what songs do you have on your Christmas playlist?

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.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
