10 Must See Holiday Movies
Telegraph

All you need is some coffee (or hot chocolate), a lit fire place and your family this Christmas. What a perfect way to spend quality family time watching all of these wonderful movies.

1. Santa Clause 1, 2 and 3

This trilogy makes you believe in the Christmas spirit again. All ages will enjoy these three films; Tim Allen is the perfect Santa.

2. The Grinch

Do I even have to explain? If you do not watch The Grinch every Christmas, you are a Grinch!

3. Elf

This is my all time favorite Christmas movie. You are not human if you do not smile from ear to ear when watching this film! "You're an angry elf!"

4. The Family Man

For those few of you who love Nicholas Cage, this is your movie. This feel good movie will make you appreciate all that you have and love the life you live.

5. I'll be Home for Christmas

This older flick puts you in the feels. We all know how tough it is being away at college and this college student discovers his true self during this movie.

6. Home Alone

This is the Christmas movie our generation. At one point or another, you had a plan of action when your parents were out and there was a knock on your door.

7. It's a Wonderful Life

This movie has my heart. Plain and simple. It teaches you the value of any and every aspect of life.

8. A Charlie Brown Christmas

This one's for you, Ma.

9. The Holiday

I don't know about y'all, but this movie puts me in the FEELS! It was perfectly cast and the story is absolutely wonderful. WATCH WATCH WATCH.

10. The Polar Express

A young boy who lost the Christmas spirit gets the ride of his life on the Polar Express and believes again!


Enjoy! Happy Holidays!

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.

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
