While Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas is You” is definitely a crucial part of your holiday celebrations, here are some songs you might have forgotten.
 
First, from everyone’s favorite Disney Channel blonde twin superstars, Aly and AJ, “Greatest Time of Year” from The Santa Clause 3.
 
 
Hilary Duff was (and probably always will be) my idol. Her Christmas album was the perfect end to my 2002 and “What Christmas Should Be” was the perfect mix of fun and inspirational for my six year old self. 
 
 
One of my earliest Christmas memories is dancing to “Merry Christmas Happy Holidays” by N*Sync with my older cousin, Jessie, and feeling so grown up and cool. 
 
 
I know the Biebs is super controversial, but “Mistletoe” is actually a pretty good song! 
 
 
T Swift is totally pop now but “Christmas Must be Something More” is a fantastic throwback. 
 
 
Buddy the Elf said “the best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear” so turn on one of these tunes and get in the holiday spirit to lift your mood!

Vanderbilt

Stacey Oswald, originally from South Florida, came to Vanderbilt as a member of the class of 2015 and got involved with HerCampus her freshman year. She became assistant editor that year and is now the Campus Correspondent for Vanderbilt HC as a sophomore. Stacey is currently a columnist for Ask Miss A- Nashville and the life section of The Hustler. She's also very involved in her sorority, Kappa Delta, as well as Invisible Children. Outside of school and her extracurriculars, Stacey finds happiness in many sources, the most crucial being exercise and the sun. She loves to attend exercise classes and is an avid runner; she recently completed the Country Music Half Marathon. She also loves Vitamin D, especially when on the beach- though of course, she only soaks up the sun after applying SPF. A few of the things Stacey couldn't live without? Good food (especially from Sweet Cece's, Bricktops, and Samurai Sushi), great books (The Hypnotist's Love Story is a recent favorite), her family back in Florida, her wonderful boyfriend, and all of the great friends she's made at Vanderbilt.
