My All-Time Favorite Christmas Songs
LA Music Blog

It's that time of the year again. Christmas time. There are favorite Christmas songs fro everybody. They can be the old carols or song with a twist to them. Here are some of my favorite Christmas songs with my favorite version by a particular singer. They are not in any particular order.

1. Gene Autry - Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer

The "Singing Cowboy" probably has the best version of this favorite. It went even #1 on the Hot Billboard Charts back in 1949!

2. Nat King Cole - Silent Night/O Holy Night/The Christmas Song

Probably one of the most amazingly beautiful voices. He can make any song sound angelic. His daughter, Natalie, was also talented like her father.


3. Bing Crosby - White Christmas

Do I need to say more?


4. Dean Martin & Martina McBride - Baby, It's Cold Outside

Makes you want to sing with one of your best friends, doesn't it?


5. Beach Boys - Little Saint Nick

The Beach Boys' Christmas album is one of my favorites and listened to it all the time growing up.


6. Josh Groban - Believe

Couldn't have asked for a better singer to sing this for the film adaptation of The Polar Express. Yes, we do believe!


7. Harry Simeon Chorale - Little Drummer Boy

This song was part of December 1968 TV special and it was a song that filled everyone's hearts with joy and hope to end the year, especially for a year such as 1968.


8. Trans-Siberian Orchestra - Christmas Canon

A choir of children singing is music to many ears, including mine.


9. Elvis Presley - Blue Christmas

The King of Rock and Roll knows how to sing a good Christmas song!


10. The Waitresses - Christmas Wrapping

An original song indeed and also a humorous one for those reminiscing of preparing the Christmas dinner.


Honorable Mentions

Dan Fogelberg - Same Old Lang Syne

Andy Williams - It's The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

Frank Sinatra - Let It Snow

Bruce Springsteen - Santa Claus is Coming to Town

Aaron Neville - Please Come Home For Christmas

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
