4 Christmas Movies You Absolutely Need To Watch

December is one of the best months of the year. After suffering through finals and tons of school work, we get a long break from school and get to be home and enjoy all the holidays around us, and being with our family and friends! Besides decorating, gift buying, and baking cookies, Christmas movies are one of the best ways to enjoy the season and really get in the Christmasy spirit. Here are some of the best Christmas movies that you need to watch this (and every) Christmas season, even if you have seen them all at least 50 times (which you most likely have).

1. "Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole Christmas"


A true classic with Jim Carrey, this movie will get you in all the Christmas feels. It's funny, memorable, and in many ways we can relate to the grinch. Also, will probably make you want to live in Whoville (and be Cindy Lou Who). Also, will make you fall in love with Faith Hill's classic, "Where are you Christmas?" This is definitely a perfect movie to watch while you drink hot cocoa and eat Christmas cookies.

2. "Home Alone"

The great and classic story about the kid (Macaulay Culkin) who gets left home alone over the holiday season, and somehow manages to keep away burglars from stealing everything in his house and hurting him. This is definitely another funny and heart-warming classic that needs to be watched this December.

3. "The Santa Clause"

How could you not want to watch Tim Allen in this great story of how he literally becomes Santa Claus on Christmas eve night? His transformation into Santa is funny and will make you want to be a kid again to get those same Christmas feels you used to when believing in Santa. After watching this, you can watch this series' 2nd and 3rd movies!

4. "Elf"

I'm pretty sure everyone loves this movie. How could you not enjoy the story an elf who comes to NYC from the North Pole and is just trying to figure his way around plus find his real dad. His optimistic view on life and Christmas is definitely going to cheer you up and help get you more into the Christmas spirit.

After getting home from school after difficult finals and end of the semester work, it is a definite necessity to begin watching all the Christmas movies to help boost your spirit and get you ready for the fun holiday season.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

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.
