9 Songs You Should Be Listening To This Holiday Season
The Balance.com

If you're anything like me, you love Christmas music, but you get sick of listening to the same five songs over and over on the radio. Keeping this in mind, I went on a mission to find the best new Christmas songs. These songs are totally underrated, so give them a listen and feel free to add them to your well-loved Christmas playlist!


1. "Someday at Christmas" - Andra Day and Stevie Wonder

This song was featured in an Apple commercial last year, and ever since then, it has been one of my favorite Christmas songs. Andra's voice is amazing, making this song an instant classic.


2. "Christmas Sing-Along" - Pentatonix

If you haven't heard of Pentatonix, you've been missing out. Their unique acapella sound perfectly fits the holiday spirit. You cant help but "sing along" to this song, and the chorus is super catchy.


3. "Hoping For Snow" - The Vamps

What Christmas playlist is complete without a boy band send up ? This song is an updated Christmas love song reminiscent of "Last Christmas," which definitely isn't a bad thing. It's a cute little song to listen to as it gets colder and the first of the season comes!


4. "Santa Tell Me" - Ariana Grande

This is probably my favorite song on this list because it's honestly a total Christmas jam. It's classic Ariana -- super pop with just a hint of old-school soul. This is probably my favorite song on this list, so you should definitely give it a listen.


5. "All I Need Is Love" - CeeLo feat. Disney's The Muppets

This song has been stuck in my head for days, so it had to be included in this list. Honestly, I was skeptical about this song when I first heard it, but it really grew on me. It's so cute, and the Muppets sing their theme song throughout.


6. "One More Sleep" - Leona Lewis

This song brings back memories of being a kid and staying up all night to wait for santa. It channels more classic Christmas tunes, but still sounds fresh. It's such a cute song, perfect to listen to as the holidays creep closer.


7. "Fool's Holiday" - All Time Low

This song is geared toward the punk lover, but it pulls in classic Christmas elements that make its appeal universal. The lyrics are actually really cute, and you'll be humming the chorus for quite a while after you listen to it.


8. "Winter Song" - Sara Bareilles and Ingrid Michaelson

This truly one of the most beautiful holiday songs. Sara and Ingrid can do no wrong, and this is by far the best cover I've heard of this song. It is so raw and really captures the more somber side of winter and the holiday season.


9. "Holiday in L.A." - Band of Merrymakers

This song sounds like something that would be in a Target commercial. It's definitely not a traditional carol, but it's fun to listen to. If you live somewhere that doesn't get too cold in December, this is the Christmas song you listen to with your windows rolled down in the car.

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.
