Christmas Time is here again! The most wonderful time of the year NEVER fails to bring with it the best in movies, music, and family activities; whether it be decorating the Christmas tree with bows, ornaments, and lights,, exchanging gifts under the tree, or ice skating under the lights in Central Park!

10. It's A Wonderful Life

This Christmas Classic has ALWAYS brought joy to the Holiday Season for countless decades on end!

9. The Polar Express

The Polar Express always instills within every viewer a sense of believing in the power of Christmas- and of Santa, of course, and that special train ticket that would bring you to see him.

8. How The Grinch Stole Christmas

This one never gets old, no matter how many remakes it goes through! The live version, the cartoon, the 2018 version... Christmas Time just wouldn't be complete without our favorite lime-colored, fuzzy villain!

7. A Christmas Carol

An entertaining story with a great message, displaying to us the real reasons for the season.

6. A Christmas Story

An all-time classic, this comedy always makes me laugh.

5. The Year Without A Santa Claus

Cartoons never go out of style, especially the Christmas ones that always make me feel like a child again.

4. Prancer

Although it's not the most famous Christmas Classic, this 1989 film is inspiring, uplifting, and so dear to me. If you've never seen it, I completely recommend adding this one to your list of Must-See's this Holiday Season.

3. Miracle On 34th Street

Sweet Classics never go out of style.

2. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation

Quite possibly, one of the funniest Christmas movies there is. (Next to Elf, of course.) This film is timeless, exceeding its time in terms of humor, entertainment, and all-around good nature. It's hilarious from a 1989 viewpoint, and never fails to make modern families today burst out laughing, especially at parts like, "Look, kids, a deer!"

1. Elf

I must have watched this movie over at least fifty times over in the past couple of years, and I know it's every line word for word- but somehow, some way, it never fails to make me laugh and smile! Maybe it's Will Ferrell's raw and honest humor, or maybe it's Buddy The Elf's genuine sincerity and affinity for "Elf-Culture." Whatever it is, this movie isn't going away for a while and will be enjoyed by generations of humanity with "an affinity for Elf Culture" for a very long time.

As I 'wrap this up,' I would just like to wish every reader a very, very Merry Christmas. This is the busiest season of the year, but please don't forget to sit down, relax, and drink some hot cocoa while watching a Christmas Movie with your family- or better yet, go ride around the town looking at Christmas Lights. Whatever you do to celebrate the season, make sure you have a great time, make the most of your time with your loved ones, and remember the reason for the season- whatever that reason is for you.

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.

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.
