10 Movies/Shows You Could Watch For Thanksgiving

Everybody knows it's easy to find Halloween or Christmas movies, but what about Thanksgiving? If your favorite holiday is Thanksgiving, you would want to get just as excited for it as other people would for the more popular holidays. Let's not forget about the day of thanks (and stuffing your face), here are 10 things you could watch at home to get you prepped for Thanksgiving!

1. A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving

Need I say more? Nothing better than Charlie Brown and friends on Thanksgiving day. (Spoiler: Charlie Brown doesn't kick the football).

2. Garfield's Thanksgiving

When Garfield is literally your spirit animal. This was one of my favorite episodes to watch even if it wasn't time for Thanksgiving! Follow Garfield and his struggle to diet on Thanksgiving day after his doctor tells him he needs to lose a few.

3. Planes, Trains, and Automobiles

If you're a comedy lover, you will enjoy this hilarious film. Plus, the movie centers around trying to make it home for a Thanksgiving dinner!

4. All "Friends" Thanksgiving Episodes

I think we can all relate to Joey and his Thanksgiving pants. Some of the best and funniest Friends episodes are the Thanksgiving ones.

5. Pocahontas

Something about this Disney masterpiece always reminds me of the Pilgrims and the Indians on that first Thanksgiving day. When Thanksgiving is just around the river bend, this is a wonderful movie to watch with friends and family.

6. The Blind Side

Such a great movie all about the truth of family and how important it can be in our lives. This heart-filled film will leave you more thankful than ever!

7. The Suite Life of Zack & Cody: Boston Tea Party

Zack and Cody were always the best twins to be around. If you don't remember, there was an episode all about the Boston Tea Party. It was one of my all time favorites.

8. Ratatouille

What's better than a movie all about food when you're trying to get hype for Thanksgiving? This Pixar classic will have you craving a Thanksgiving feast.

9. Remember The Titans

Although this movie does not have much to do with turkey, it has a lot to do with thanks...and football! This is a great family film for the Thanksgiving football watchers out there.

10. House of Turkey

Does anybody remember the House of Mouse on Disney Channel? Well, there's a Thanksgiving episode filled with delightful short cartoons and a Pilgrim theme.

Between all the trick or treating and caroling, it's time to celebrate some delicious food and thanks! What's your favorite Thanksgiving meal?

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.
