10 Movies That Spread Christmas Cheer

From December 1st to the 31st you can catch me decked out in as much christmas apparel as ever. This time of the year truly is something magical and while I am always in the mood for some cheer here are my top 10 Christmas Movie picks that will always leave you in the mood for some eggnog, cookies, and wrapping some gifts to go under the tree!

10. The Santa Clause:

Who doesn't like watching Tim Allen fall off of a rooftop, get silver hair, oh and my favorite gain like 80+ lbs? Because same, I am right there with you.

9. Christmas with the Kranks:

It’s nice to know that my family isn’t the only entirely delusional and dysfunctional that exists.

8. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation:

“Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas. Kiss my ass. Kiss his ass. Kiss your ass. Happy Hanukkah."

7. It’s a Wonderful Life:

In the midst of all that dysfunction, “It’s a Wonderful Life” is a beautiful reminder that there is so much more to the hustle and bustle of Christmas.

6. Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer:

Rudolph is out here teaching one of the greatest lessons. If stifled by your parents support, let your nose shine and impress the hell out of the big guy.

5. A Charlie Brown Christmas:

“I know nobody likes me. Why do we have to have a holiday season to emphasize it?”

4. Home Alone 1, 2, and 3:

The best way to spread Christmas Cheer is to watch two failing robbers continuously get injured by a pre-teen.

3. Elf:

SANTA!!!!!

2. A Christmas Story:

Once my family watched this movie on a continuous loop for what felt like 30 years, but really it was just 15 hours

1. Dr. Seuss’: How the Grinch Stole Christmas:

However you prefer it, the 1966 animated version or the 2000 acted version. No one can deny that this movie doesn't just scream Christmas!

To Wrap this up, pun intended, regardless if your favorite Christmas movie made the cut or not I hope you find something that brings you tons and tons of Christmas Cheer. Wear ugly sweaters, make cookies, but mostly enjoy this time off from school. I wish you a Merry Christmas and to all a good night!

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.
