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.

"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.

"A Holly Jolly Christmas" by Burl Ives

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

"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.

"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.

"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.

"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.

"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.

"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.

"O Holy Night" by David Archuleta

He has the voice of an angel.

"Believe" by Josh Groban

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

"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?

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

For better or for worse

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
