Now that Thanksgiving is over, it's finally time to get in the mood for everybody's favorite season: Christmas. With all the trees and eggnog and movie marathons, it's hard to forget that it is now the most wonderful time of the year. With all the traditions we all hold dear to our heart, there's never a day that goes by throughout the month of December where you don't hear a cliche Christmas tune. Here's a list of the 15 best Christmas songs that desperately need to be on your holiday playlist:

1. "All I Want For Christmas Is You" by Mariah Carey

It's a classic, and you already know every word! Great for jamming out on those long road trips!

2. "Mistletoe" by Justin Bieber

There's nothing better than hearing Beiber's sweet voice singing his own take on his perfect Christmas.

3. "Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer" by Gene Autry

Iconic. You can't go a whole Christmas season without hearing this beautiful tune.

4. "Blue Christmas" by Elvis Presley

The King himself knows how to bring in the season with his hearty version of this classic song.

5. "O Holy Night" by Carrie Underwood

Carrie Underwood's voice singing such a beautiful and sacred Christmas song. Need I say more?

6. "Feliz Navidad" by Jose Feliciano

This is probably the only Christmas song that is socially acceptable to be played from January to November. It's not Christmas without this catchy melody.

7. "Little Drummer Boy" by Bob Seger

His unique raspy voice puts a charming spin on this sweet song.

8. "Last Christmas" by Wham!

Two words: Christmas. Staple. This song has to be played in every department store you enter throughout the season.

9. "Holly Jolly Christmas" by Burl Ives

This classic song can be found in "Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer," and it just isn't Christmas until you hear Ives crooning this lovely tune.

10. "White Christmas" by Bing Crosby

Go back in time with this beautiful song. It'll definitely get you in your holiday feels.

11. "Dominick the Donkey" by Lou Monte

This Italian song is extremely underrated. It is both the happiest and most strange Christmas song I've ever heard.

12. "Oklahoma Christmas" by Blake Shelton and Reba McEntire

Shelton's spin on the most classic Country Christmas song will take you all the way to Oklahoma to celebrate alongside him!

13. "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch" by Thurl Ravenscroft

'Nough said.

14. "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" by Frank Sinatra

The perfect song to top off your Christmas playlist!

15. "Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays" by NSYNC

A young Justin Timberlake singing a Christmas song just for you? Yes, please!

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
