15 Reasons To Love The Christmas Season
Mallory Davis

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! December is my all time favorite month, end of statement. Here are just a few things that make the month of Christmas so special.

1. We get to celebrate Jesus’ birth

Make sure to always remember the reason for the season!

2. Candy Canes

It is the only time of the year that Candy canes are acceptable. Honestly, we should riot that candy canes be allowed all year long.

3. The 25 days of Christmas on FreeForm

They can change the name of the channel as long as they don't take my count down to Christmas away.

4. Outdoor Christmas lights

The joy of driving around and looking at Christmas lights is incomparable.

5. Christmas Caroling

"The best way to spread Christmas is singing loudly for all to hear." -Elf-

6. Christmas spirit fills the air

Folks tend to be more caring during the Christmas season. I guess they are trying to get back on the nice list.

7. Antioch’s Bethlehem revisited

This is a must for anyone in the Conway area. Antioch recreates the city of Bethlehem and allows you to take a step into the night our savior was born in.

8. Hallmark.

End of statement Hallmark is the truly the heart of TV. Every night in December I watch at least 2 sappy movies, that get me all in my feels.

9. Christmas music!

Here. There. Everywhere! I love that I am able to listen to non-stop holiday music for a whole month!

10. Nothing can top a good ole cup of Hot Cocoa with marshmallows

11. Santa Clause

Need I say more, no matter how old you get, you never get too old for Santa!

12.PRESENTS

Cheesy I know but I do enjoy buying everyone gifts and even receiving a few too!

13. The Nutcracker ballet.

This is one of my all times favorites! As a kid I dreamed of being Clara and having my nutcracker turn into a prince. It hasn't happen yet but i refuse to give up.

14. Family traditions.

I am a sucker for old timey traditions, they are what makes each of our families unique.

15. The jingling Salvation Army

It makes my heart so happy to hear those bells as I wonder down the shopping center.

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.

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.
