Christmas is a time to relax, spend time with family, praise Jesus, and watch Christmas movies. Whether you choose Hallmark, FreeForm, Netflix, or an old-fashioned DVD or VHS, every family has a go-to Christmas movie. Did yours make the list?

1. How The Grinch Stole Christmas

This is a family favorite for all ages. It's funny, it's charming, it's heartwarming, and it's downright great!

2. A Christmas Story

If you don't watch this movie at least once during the holiday season, you are doing Christmas all wrong.

3. Love Actually

This is a newer Christmas film, but it's still just as homey. This one is a little more romantic and modern, but it never fails to get you in the Christmas spirit.

4. The Santa Clause

This was one of my childhood favorites. Who doesn't love Tim Allen?!?

5. Elf

My family watches this movie many, many, many times during the holiday season! It's become a classic, and it's sure to make you laugh. Bye, Buddy! Hope you find your dad!

6. The Polar Express

If you don't get chills when you hear the bell, you're crazy! There's a little kid in us all.

7. Charlie Brown Christmas

This one is usually on in the background as we decorate our house. We all hope our tree looks a little fuller than Charlie's, but his is cute, too!

8. A Christmas Carol

It's a little darker than most, but it's lovable. Whether you watch the original, the remake, the Muppets, or Micky Mouse, it'll definitely boost your Christmas spirit!

9. Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer

This is a true classic. Can you name the other reindeer, too?

10. Frosty The Snowman

Try to watch the movie without singing along...

11. Home Alone

This is the all-time Christmas classic. You love Kevin, you worry about Kevin, and you laugh with Kevin the whole time. It's the best!

So, did you favorite Christmas movie make the list? If not, what is your favorite Christmas movie?

Merry Christmas (a little bit early)!

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.
