Hello everyone and Merry Christmas! As the month of November comes, we are all suddenly surrounded by stores with holiday decorations, Christmas music on the radio, and all that good holiday jazz.

An all-time favorite Christmas album is Michael Buble's "Christmas." Who doesn't love a Canadian singer with a voice of an angel singing Christmas classics? We've had many artists make Christmas albums to put us into that holiday spirit. For example, Justin Bieber, Mariah Carey, and many more. On October 26 we got the Christmas album no one expected, from none other than John Legend.

A Legendary Christmas, not only gives us some of our favorite Christmas songs, but also some of his own new songs with legendary artists, like Stevie Wonder. The first song on the album, "What Christmas Means to Me," starts with a Christmassy vibe to it. Showing Legend's merry side with a mix of holiday spirit, which we rarely see. John Legend is known for his romantic songs that make us feel head over heels for someone, or can make us emotional (I cried for like two days straight after I heard "All of Me"). Here is a list of the rest of the songs and descriptions:

  • "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" starts softly with Legend's melodious voice soothing us. I definitely recommend that song for when you need to relax or you have a romantic date.
  • "Bring Me Love" has a happy melody about that one special person that we all want this Christmas. One person who brings us all the happiness in the world and we all we really want for Christmas is to spend it with them.
  • "By Christmas Eve" is a soothing romantic song promising your significant other that you'll be there for the celebration. He sings about doing whatever he can to make it to his lover.
  • "The Christmas Song" is by far my favorite. It combines all our favorite Christmas elements and the original song adopting a new vibe. A song to put on while decorating the tree and hanging up some lights. Great song while baking some Christmas treats.
  • "Christmas Time Is Here", the name the correct way to describe the song. A nice tune to put in the car with the windows down and the chilly air surrounding us. A reminder that
  • "Please Come Home For Christmas" will make you so happy. It has a kind of jazz tone and you definitely can feel the romance Christmas brings. Love in the air is present and people are ready to find their Christmas love.
  • "Silver Bells" might be an old song but he definitely mixes it up. Some modern beats put into a classic carol.

Those are my favorite songs of this wonderful album. John Legend has definitely surpassed and went above and beyond this Christmas. I can assure you that putting these songs on will make everyone get in that amazing Christmas spirit. After November 22nd get your Christmas playlists ready and put some Christmas tunes on!

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?

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.
