12 Reasons Why Christmas is the King of Holidays

As finals come to a close we'll finally be able to relax and enjoy Christmas the way we should. Christmas is my all time favorite holiday as we celebrate the birth of baby Jesus with gifts among your family and friends. Some people hate Christmas, but I'm here to tell you that it's the King of holidays and if you don't believe me hopefully this list will change your mind.

1. Gifts

Okay, I know Christmas is not all about gifts. But I think it's nice to feel appreciated and to see that someone went out of there way to spend money on you.

2. Family Time

I love my family and Christmas time is the only time we spend the entire day together at home. Most of the time we get annoyed by each other after 5 minutes, but it was nice while it lasted.

3. Cookies

Christmas cookies are the bomb.

4. Eggnog

Not a lot of people like eggnog, but to me eggnog is the Queen of all holiday drinks.

5. Hot chocolate

Hot chocolate is the King of holiday drinks. It is not Christmas if you are not drinking hot coca in your pajamas while you open gifts.

6. The Music

Do ever hear people singing Easter carols? No, because they don't exist. Christmas time is when you'll hear festive music that makes you feel. There are sad Christmas songs, happy Christmas songs and songs that make you want to dance around the tree.

7. Baby Jesus

Personally, my favorite thing about Christmas is hearing the story of the birth of Jesus. Not everyone is religious, but I think that we can all agree that it is one of the most beautiful story ever told.

8. No school

Christmas marks winter break which is usually about 3 or 4 weeks long if you're in college. You don't know what your GPA will look like, but you might as well enjoy those presents while it lasts.

9. Ugly Sweaters

Ugly Christmas sweaters never go out of style. You can wear them every single year and it would still be the ugliest sweater anyone has ever seen.

10. A Christmas Story

This is one of the greatest Christmas movies ever made. It comes on year after year and after 3 decades it never fails to entertain.

11. Every Christmas Movie


I'm lying because there is a huge selection of A+ Christmas movies to choose from like the Polar Express, which is as amazing as A Christmas Story.

12. Santa

Okay spoiler alert, Santa Claus isn't real, but I like to think that someone like him exists in the world bringing Christmas cheer to those in need.

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.
