Final exams are not the only things approaching as the days pass. The weather is getting colder and people are starting to string lights over tree corpses which can only mean that Christmas is approaching fast. Personally, Christmas is one of my favorite times of year; it is just filled with so much cheer and good will. I absolutely adore Christmas and when it is around the corner, you know that the Christmas specials are not far behind. As Santa Claus is checking his list for the second time, let's take a look at five timeless Christmas specials.

1. How the Grinch Stole Christmas

This Dr. Seuss classic is sure to put a smile on even the grinchiest grinch in existence. Set in the colorful and creative world we know and love, this story was always fun to watch on TV. Following the Grinch as he decides to stop Christmas from coming to Who-Ville, the viewers are treated to a heart-warming story with fun animation and an equally fun song. I can remember trying to hit the song's low note as I sat with my parents, all of us equally as excited to see the special come on TV. If you are a fan of Dr. Seuss, this is one special you simply cannot miss.

2. Frosty the Snowman

For me, Frosty the Snowman was a complete holiday classic. It had a sense of humor that I appreciated back then and I still find amusing today. There is something comfortable about the animation and backdrops; it reminds me of a Christmas card coming to life. This story is always fun to hear and watch unfold on the screen. It has a warm and fuzzy feel to it, even almost making me cry when I was younger. I absolutely adore this movie and I will be humming the song all Christmas season.

3. Santa Claus is Coming to Town

This movie holds a special spot in my heart and in my mothers. We both watched Santa Claus is Coming to Town as I was growing up and fell in love with the songs as well as the animation. To this day, we will quote lines from this movie because of how quirky it can be at times. Honestly, this movie can be funny in ways it wasn't trying to be at all. This movie telling the origins of Santa Claus is one you definitely need to watch if you want to see a fun and quirky Christmas movie with that old-timey feel to it.

4. A Charlie Brown Christmas

How could I not put this classic on the list? Charlie Brown has been a big part of a lot of childhoods and this special is one of its televised programs. This special has a wonderful atmosphere and makes its viewer just feel warm and comfortable as they watch it. Not only that, but it just has a wonderful message about finding the worth and beauty in the little things, realizing that greatness and wonder is able to come from anywhere and take any form. This special is always wonderful to watch and definitely will make your heart feel lighter this holiday season.

5. Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer

To be honest, this one is probably one of my personal favorites; I always loved animals growing up so a movie focused on one was absolute genius in my opinion. This film always had a wonderful feel to it as I grew up. I loved the songs, adored the characters, and enjoyed the story. Watching the classic tale of a reindeer with a shining red nose come to life with its own quirks and humor was always a delight. This movie took a story and made it its own thing, created a world that one associates immediately with Christmas and the holidays. It is absolutely wonderful and you should definitely give it a watch.

It's fun to see all of the selfies on social media, they are everywhere. I see pictures with pouty lips, duck lips and pucker lips. I see smokey eyes, huge fake lashes and nicely done nose jobs, boob jobs and butt lifts. Women working out in spandex, tiny tops and flip flops. I see tight abs and firm butts, manicured nails and toes, up dos and flowing hair. "Wow", I think to myself," I could apply tons of make-up, spend an hour on my hair, pose all day and not look like that. Maybe I need a longer stick!"

Ancient Roman Kings: 7 Leaders of Early Rome

The names and dates of the reigns of the first four kings, as well as the alternation of Sabin and Latin names, are more legendary than historical. The last three kings, of Etruscan origin, have an existence which seems less uncertain.

It is evident that all this is only a legend although archeology shows us little by little that these kings if they did not exist as the ancient history, describes them, have at least in the very Outlines were real as chief of a shepherd’s tribe.

Love Lost

Being the girl that is falling for the boy is never easy.

You constantly text my phone telling me that you want to see me and hang out, even though we may not have sex we cuddle and that’s intimacy in its own. I’m tired of buying you food and being there for you like a girlfriend when you consistently tell me you aren't ready for a girlfriend. I am constantly feeling I’m getting slapped in the face because I’m doing all these things and getting nothing in return. Every day I feel myself liking you more which is just crazy because why would I even waste my time liking someone there isn’t a future with. I just want you to be honest with me and with yourself, tell me how you feel from your heart, stop just saying you aren’t ready. You are wasting time telling me you aren’t ready because while you are “getting ready” some guy somewhere else is telling me that he likes me and thinks I’m beautiful and wants to date me. I’m not asking for much, but I at least want exclusivity because you ask me for all these things but in return you give me nothing.
