Everyone knows that the day after Halloween officially marks Christember. If you're one of the people who hates seeing anything that has to do with Christmas before Thanksgiving is even here, I feel bad for you. How can someone not be so happy and festive with all the joy around them? Hopefully this list will make you see why this is literally the most wonderful time of the year.

1. Christmas Music

Is Christmas really Christmas without listening to the Mariah Carey Christmas album?

2. Ugly Christmas sweaters

I think I'm excited about this more than anything else.

3.Christmas Movies

You have to watch "How the Grinch Stole Christmas", "Elf", and "Home Alone" at least 20 times.

4. Limited edition Christmas candles

What's better than having your house smell like ginger bread from a Yankee candle?

5. You get to decorate

The sooner you decorate, the longer you get to stare at your work of art.

6. Christmas parties

7. Starbucks Holiday cups

Something about their holiday cups makes me so happy.

8. You can't fit all the festivities into one day, so you have to spread them out

Two months is still not enough time to be able to complete my Christmas festivities list.

9. Retail stores are already putting up Christmas decorations

Nothing makes me happier than when I walk into work and see the Christmas trees up.

10. You can literally eat as many cookies as you want and not feel bad about it

If Santa can, why can't I?

11. You don't have to feel bad for skipping over Thanksgiving because you can have the same dinner on Christmas

@ All my friends complaining about me skipping over Thanksgiving.

12. Gives you a reason to go shopping

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.

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.
