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

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.
