That said, boy/girl duets are still very popular. Below are tracks that ought to be recognized for how sincere, open, and relatable they are. Much appreciation for the modern twist of the classic song style. Continue reading

I have never understood why people teach their kids about Santa Claus. If and when (probably when) I decide to have children, I will not be bringing them up with Santa as a part of their Christmas traditions.
