10 Movies You Have To Watch

Everyone loves having a fire in the fireplace, with the Christmas Tree lit up, a nice mug of hot coco and their favorite Christmas movies. The top 10 movies you need to watch this season are here:

1. A Christmas Carol

You can never go wrong with A Christmas Carol. The story is beautiful, a little on the depressing side, but it'll get you in the giving spirit.

The first silent film version of this Movie came out in 1901 and was named Scrooge or Marley's Ghost with Daniel Smith as Scrooge. There have been more than ten adaptations or remakes of the original story told by Charles Dickens.

My top two favorite adaptation of the story would have to be the 1984 version with George C. Scott as Scrooge:

And the 2009, Disney version :

“Bah," said Scrooge, "Humbug.” - Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol

2. The Polar Express

What's Christmas without a little adventure to believe. Music by Alan Silvestri and Screenplay by Robert Zemeckis and William Broyles Jr. This story is based on the 1985 children's book same name by Chris Van Allsburg.

I've never seen such great graphics and such a lovely story. Seeing isn't always believing, but this story will warm your heart and make you believe all night long.

"Seeing is believing"

3. How the Grinch Sole Christmas

Both the real-life and animated versions of this movie is always a classic to watch. Max is probably more loyal than my dog and Cindy Lou Who is the only one who understands the real meaning of Christmas. In the real-life version, Jim Carrey will keep you laughing and enjoying till the end.

4. Home Alone

This is a hilarious film with robbers, an 8 year old kid grocery shopping by himself, and the importance of family. This humor filled film pinpoints the understanding and importance of having family around for the holidays.

5. A Miracle on 34th Street

This is a heartwarming tale of "Santa" and brightening the heart of one young girl. This film is guaranteed to warm your heart and never underestimate what Santa can do to nonbelievers.

6. Elf

This humorous tale of an"elf" leaving the North Pole and traveling to the famous New York City. He has no idea what's in store for him and turns one family's holiday season to a time of joy.

"The best way to spread Christmas cheer, is singing loud for all to hear"

7. Rudolf The Red-Nose Reindeer

These stop motion films are a classic to enjoy every holiday season. Understanding that your flaws make you who you are is very important and this film is perfect for that.

8. Frosty the Snowman

This cartoon is timeless. Frosty is a snowman that "came to life one day" with a magical hat. The kids loved Frosty till they realized that the warming sun would leave frosty a puddle, in an extravagant effort to save frosty, the kids embark on a mission to get him to cooler weather.

9. A Charlie Brown Christmas


You wouldn't dare going a Christmas season without watching Peanuts A Charlie Brown Christmas. With the telling of the Nativity Story and understanding true friendship and love

10. A Christmas Story

This is my all-time favorite Christmas movies. There's humor and beautiful moments in this little home in Indiana. From writing themes, to sexy leg lamps to Red Ryder Carbine Action 200-shot Range Model air rifle with a compass in the stock

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.

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.
