1. The Starbucks Cup

Nothing screams "it's Christmas time!" like those beautiful Starbucks Christmas cups. Sure they got backlash a year ago, but have you seen them this year?! Beautiful! In fact, I may just go get a soy toffee nut latte right now.

2. Michael Bublé.

Who doesn't want a voice as smooth as his serenading you with Christmas music while you sip your Starbucks latte in a coffee shop? I mean, this Canadian Cutie has one of the best Christmas records of all time. He's just so dang classy with his Sinatra-like crooning.

3. Christmas Cookies

I don't know about you, but as soon as December 1st hits, BOOM! I become a baking extraordinaire. Not that I don't bake the other 11 months of the year, but it all becomes heightened during the Christmas season.

4. ALL. THE. CHRISTMAS. MOVIES.

Let's be real here, this type of thing starts the day after Thanksgiving. I may or may not be speaking from experience...

5. Ugly Christmas Sweaters

To be fair, cardigan season starts in autumn. But we definitely up the ante when it comes to Christmas sweaters. After all, who doesn't love a good ugly Christmas sweater party??

6. Warm Drinks

A little taste of warmth going through your body feels amazing in the cold winter, whether it be something as simple, like hot chocolate, or something fancy, like mulled wine or a skinny peppermint mocha.

7. A Warm Fireside

Whether it be the subtle crackling of the fireplace or the faint smell of an apple cinnamon or vanilla peppermint coming from that Yankee Candle in your room, the smell of fire just adds an extra sense of coziness (even if you live in a warm/tropical area).

8. Lights, trees, and decorations

By this point, it is evident that a lot of people have jumped on the "I love Christmas Bandwagon." But we special snowflakes (see what I did there) who love Christmas become filled with glee, just because the world gets just a little happier around Christmas time.

9. Getting Bundled Up


There's something about scarves, hats, gloves, blankets and FUZZY SOCKS. And I don't know what it is, but this 'something' fills people with anticipation for the coming season. Plus, fun wintry prints add more festivity (as if you needed that). Like, c'mon, imagine having all of these in your closet to keep you nice and toasty...

10. Shopping

Normally shopping is relatively fun, but when it is for Christmas, it becomes about a million times better and more exciting. You have to find that perfect gift for your best friend. Challenge accepted.

11. And, finally, Christmas Music

If you're crazy for Christmas, then listening to Christmas music starts on November 1st. Bring on Justin Bieber's Misletoe, and if that's not your style, please refer to #2 on this list.

Party on my Christmas Party People!

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

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.
