Now that Halloween is over (*sobs*), we can start setting our sights on the most important day of the entire year: Christmas. Here are 12 reasons why Christmas is the greatest, as told by "The Office."

1. Snow

Okay, who really cares that snow can be dangerous sometimes? Snow is loads of fun. You can roll around in it, throw it, eat it and use it as a building material. It's a miracle substance.

2. Christmas music


Christmas music is magical in the way that it automatically can put you into a festive and cheery mood. Also, how cool is it that literally everyone knows the same Christmas songs. It's unifying!

3. Apple cider

Apple cider is downright delicious, and anyone who disagrees is incorrect.

4. Putting up the tree

Putting up the tree is a tradition that nearly everyone participates in, even though everyone carries it out differently, and that's a beautiful thing. Is your Christmas tree even complete without 7,000 baby-photo ornaments?

5. Pretty lights

There's nothing better than driving around looking at light shows or walking down a light-covered street. Colored or white, Christmas lights make the world more whimsical and lovely.

6. Candy canes

Okay, honestly, candy canes aren't really that good. But for some reason, they're the official candy of the Christmas season, and you kind of can't avoid eating one and mildly enjoying it.

7. Presents

Because all of us are secretly super selfish and love receiving presents. Also, gift-giving is pretty satisfying, too. It's a good thing that both of these things happen at Christmas.

8. A general sense of coziness

Drinking cocoa by a fireplace by the light of a Christmas tree while a snowstorm is raging outside? Yes, please. Christmas is cozy and makes everyone feel warm and fuzzy.

9. Cheesy movies

Is it even Christmas if you don't watch A Christmas Story for the entire 24-hour loop?

10. Santa

Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without the big man himself. There's something exciting about seeing Santa Claus wherever you go.

11. Christmas parties

Getting to spend time with friends to celebrate the holidays is so fun, especially when there are snacks and gift-exchanges and paper snowflakes.

12. Family

Perhaps most importantly, Christmas is a chance to spend time with family and loved ones and to be able to celebrate being together.

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.
