10 Christmas Movies to Get You in the Christmas Spirit

With Christmas right around the corner, many TV stations are playing Christmas movies, unless you are Hallmark and started playing Christmas movies over a month ago. Now that it is after Thanksgiving, I think it is much more appropriate to embrace the Christmas spirit and put a classic, or not so classic, on to get you and your friends and family into the festive mood. So, below, I have compiled a list of 10 must see Christmas movies that will surely get you into the Christmas spirit.

1. A Charlie Brown Christmas

Now I truly consider this to be a classic. I grew up watching this every Christmas, and it is one that reminds their audience of the true meaning of Christmas.

2. Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas

This is another movie that most people are familiar with. Every Christmas it seems just right to revisit Cindy Lou Who and her whole family all over again.

3. The Santa Clause 1-3

These movies are ones that are absolutely amazing. Tim Allen does a wonderful job as the character of Scott Calvin and it really is a heart warming movie for the holidays.

4. Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer

Talk about a classic. This movie is well-known by people of all ages. This movie truly is timeless, and I believe it will continue to be a favorite.

5. Miracle on 34th Street

This movie is a great one for watching at Thanksgiving and Christmas time.

6. The Polar Express

"Well, ya comin'?" It's safe to say everyone is familiar with that line. Talk about a MUST SEE during the Christmas season.

7. Jim Carey's A Christmas Carol

This movie is a great reminder that the holidays are such a joyful season because we have people to share them with.

8. The Nightmare before Christmas

Tim Burton's twist at looking at the holidays is sure interesting. This movie is odd in the way that it is perfect for Halloween, yet fits in at Christmas.

9. Gremlins

Now, if you are not familiar with this movie, then it may seem strange to put this movie on a Christmas movie list. However, once you watch it, it is clear how it ended up being here.

10. Elf

For those of you reading, you were probably waiting to see this movie appear on the list. Though it is not my personal favorite, it is still a funny movie and perfect for those who love the comedic Will Ferrell.

There you go. Now this is not a comprehensive list of all the good Christmas movies, as there are dozens more that could easily end up on this list. However, this is a great place to start if you are looking for something new.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
