Hello again! It is officially December now and the yearly reign of Christmas is beginning once again. So I've decided to write about five Christmas albums that are some of my favorites.

"White Christmas" by Bing Crosby is easily one of my favorite Christmas songs of all time and is one of my favorite albums. When I think of Bing Crosby I think of Christmas. To be honest, who wouldn't? Bing is by far one of the most known artists and actors when it comes to the theme of Christmas. Christmas classics such as "White Christmas", "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen", "Jingle Bells", and "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town" are all included on this album. Bing's masterpiece includes 12 covers of popular Christmas songs. You might not know who Bing Crosby is, but if you hear him sing then, I'm sure you've heard him before. Bing's voice is so elegant and smooth with mixing classic Christmas tunes; this album becomes an instant classic.

"Christmas" by Michael Bublé is the album that helped put Bublé on the map. This modern classic Christmas album features 16 songs and includes guest artists on a few of the songs. This record includes classics such as, "It's Beginning To Look a Lot Like Christmas", "Holly Jolly Christmas", "Santa Baby", and "Silent Night". Like Bing Crosby, most people know Bublé because of his Christmas music. Bublé shows off his smooth vocals in this album by singing Christmas tunes and we all thank him for that because songs such as "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" just makes you want to fall asleep in joy.

"The Christmas Song" by Nat King Cole is recent collection of some Nat's most famous Christmas covers over the years. Nat took a different route and sung more classic Christmas carols and hymns. "Joy To the World", "The First Noel", and "O Holy Night" are all included on this album of Christmas classics by Nat King Cole. When it comes to Christmas music, it seems that most people refer to Nat as one of the most popular Christmas artists. Nat has such a unique dark toned yet smooth voice that flows oh so well and really helps showcase these classic tunes for the most wonderful time of the year.

"Elvis' Christmas Album" by Elvis Presley has 12 tunes including hits such as, "I'll Be Home for Christmas", "Here Comes Santa Claus", and a classic Elvis cover "Blue Christmas". Although Elvis is known as the King of Rock n Roll which he most surely is, but his Christmas records are by far some of the best I have ever heard. Elvis' classic baritone vocals that are so elegant and peaceful help set the tone for these holiday classics.

"A Jolly Christmas from Frank Sinatra" by Frank Sinatra is most definitely one of my favorite Christmas albums of all time. This Christmas classic features 15 songs that help set the mood for this time of year. "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing", "O Little Town of Bethlehem", and "White Christmas" are just a few of the tunes that Sinatra covers on this album. Thanks to Sinatra's fluidly elegant vocals; this record instantly becomes a hit because of perfect each tune has been put together and Sinatra's voice is just one of the greatest ever. Frank is by far my favorite artist and when Christmas time rolls around. I always know that I have him to listen to during the most wonderful time of the year.

Thanks for reading this week! I hope you all love Christmas music just as much as I do and I hope you'll start to listen to a few of these artists.

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.

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.
