When we started this site a year ago, we had no idea what to expect. What would we write about? Would anyone even read it? We managed to figure it out along the way, thanks to our fellow fangirls and the band boys we all love.
Thank you for reading, thank you for supporting us, and thank you for sharing our passion for music! We’ve had the opportunity to do so many cool things this year, and have met lots of great people along the way. We can’t wait for what 2015 has in store!
We’re off on a European adventure, but we’ll be back to posting in January 2015 (!)
And since you can never have enough *NSYNC, Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays from the Secret Fangirls!
It’s Black Friday, which means you no longer have to wonder if it’s socially acceptable to start listening to Christmas music. It’s on. When you’re tired of hearing Taylor Swift’s “Last Christmas” playing at Target/The Mall/Everywhere You Go, here are some of our favorite Christmas albums.
1. *NSYNC – “Home For Christmas”
Definitely the greatest boyband Christmas album of all time (We are still surprised Backstreet Boys never made one!) Of course, it also has the best Christmas music video of all time for “Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays.”
2. Hilary Duff – “Santa Clause Lane” This video used to play on Disney Channel during every single commercial break. Can you still do the Lil’ Romeo rap? (We can.)
3. Music From “The O.C.” Mix 3: Have a Very Merry Chrismukkah” Two of the most important things on “The O.C.” were music and Seth Cohen’s favorite holiday, Chrismukkah. This soundtrack features original Holiday tracks from show favorites like Rooney, Jimmy Eat World, and The Raveonettes.
4. The Beach Boys – “The Beach Boys Christmas Album”
It’s hard to pick a favorite track off of this classic album, from their originals “Little Saint Nick” and “Merry Christmas, Baby” to their versions of Christmas standards. We’ve been hearing these songs literally every year since birth, but we still aren’t tired of them.
5. Justin Bieber – “Under The Mistletoe”
We all love his single “Mistletoe,” and of course his remake of “All I Want for Christmas” with Mariah. But our favorite is the beautiful acapella version of “Fa La La” featuring Boyz II Men.
It’s just 12 days until Christmas, which means every radio station, department store, and Duane Reade have been playing the same 5 holiday songs since November. Need a break from Taylor Swift’s version of “Last Christmas”? (we love this song too .. the first 5 times we hear it). Here are some of our favorite holiday songs.
