Who doesn't absolutely love the Christmas classics? Here's a list of all the holiday classics for you to blast throughout your house during the holidays.

1. "Frosty the Snowman" - Jimmy Durant

Who doesn't love the classics from the TV shows?

2. "Sleigh Ride" - The Ronettes

I was forced to play this song in concert band for 4 years. It will always have a special place in hell.

3. "All I Want for Christmas Is You" - Mariah Carey

Another cheery Christmas classic.

4. "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year" - Andy Williams

A laid back classic feeling for the most wonderful time of the year.

5. "Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!" - Frank Sinatra

So repetitive with the title, but his beautiful voice and the quartet make up for it all.

6. "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)" - Céline Dion

Something calming if that's what you're looking for.

7. "Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town" - Bruce Springsteen

Coming from an NJ native, this is a must-have in any Christmas playlist around here.

8. "My Only Wish (This Year)" - Britney Spears

More of a modern (not-so) classic for your Christmas playlist.

9. "Blue Christmas" - Elvis Presley

Another great song, with a somber tone and another beautiful voice.

10. "Santa Baby" - Michael Buble or Eartha Kitt

Each version of this song is beautiful and a must-have for Christmas playlists everywhere!

11. "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer" - Burl Ives

Another classic from the popular TV show! Who doesn't know the lyrics to this song?

12. "Jingle Bell Rock" - Bobby Helms

13. "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" - Judy Garland

A calming classic sung by another amazing singer.

14. "Silver Bells" - Dean Martin

One of "those" songs your parents are more than likely to play while you're trying to enjoy your Christmas dinner.

15. "The Christmas Song" - Nat King Cole

Another song your parents will probably play over Christmas dinner.

16. "Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree" – Brenda Lee

Yet another classic that you and your family members can just get up and dance to (after the beloved Christmas dinner, of course).

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:
