It's the most wonderful time of the year!

1. Waking up early and opening presents, even though I'm a grown adult.

2. Getting all dressed up for our family party.

3. Eating an unhealthy portion of a delicious dinner.

4. And then still snacking on junk the rest of the night, and not being judged for it.

5. Seeing what wrapping paper everyone else chose for their presents.

6. Listening to Christmas music for the last time of the year.

7. Hearing the gifts everyone else received.

8. Watching the kids in our family light up when they open their gifts.

9. Two words: stocking stuffers. They're absolutely the best.

10. Taking pictures in front of the Christmas tree.

11. Sending and receiving 'Merry Christmas' text messages.

12. Finally being able to tell my husband all the funny gifts I thought about getting him, but didn't.

13. Watching one last Christmas movie by the tree before bed.

14. Laying out and looking at all the gifts I received.

15. Forcing my dog to wear his ugly Christmas sweater for our annual family photo.

16. Watching people's reactions as they open the gifts I picked out for them.

17. Spending the day with my favorite people.

18. Admiring the festive dessert selection.

19. Receiving snapchats of others' holiday parties.

20. Spoiling my dog with lots of new toys and bones.

21. Engagement announcements on social media.

22. The rare occasion of a snowy Christmas.

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.

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.
