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?

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?

Happy Birthday Cake

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?

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.
