I have an obsession with Christmas movies. I usually start watching them in the middle of November. They're on while I'm having morning coffee, studying, getting ready for bed...basically all day every day until December 25. Here are 10 of my favorites:

10. "How the Grinch Stole Christmas"

I highly recommend this Christmas classic that involves a cynical green (I'm not sure what he actually is) and an adorable little girl.

9. "The Santa Clause"

Tim Allen magically becomes Santa Claus in a very unfortunate way. There are two sequels to this movie, but the first is undoubtedly the best.

8. "Miracle on 34th Street"

A department store Santa Claus claims to be the real thing. This 1947 film features a young Natalie Wood and looks at the magic of Christmas through the eyes of a little girl.

7. "A Charlie Brown Christmas"

Charlie Brown and his friends look for the true meaning of Christmas. If you enjoy cute animations and seasonal music, this is the film for you.

6. "The Polar Express"

Some kids, a magical train, and a lot of adventure. The movie also includes incredible animation and its own soundtrack.

5. "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation"

If you want to laugh until you have real tears and your stomach hurts, this is the Christmas movie for you.

4. "Elf"

The adventures of Buddy the elf after he leaves the North Pole and goes on a quest to find his father. Another movie that will seriously have you laughing til it hurts.

3. "A Christmas Story"

Nine-year-old Ralphie recounts his Christmas experience in his own unique way. This movie is usually on for the entirety of Christmas day, and I usually watch it at least twice.

2. "Home Alone"

Kevin's family accidentally leaves him home alone for Christmas and he wards off thieves that target his wealthy neighborhood. Merry Christmas, ya filthy animals.

1. "It's A Wonderful Life"

This movie, filmed in 1946, chronicles the challenges of an angel who is sent down to show a businessman what life would be like if he never existed. This is not only my favorite Christmas movie but also my favorite of all time.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

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.
