Christmas time is just around the corner. There are people who are stressed about getting presents or others who are participating in the hectic party planning for Christmas Eve. But the days leading up to Christmas is the time that people seem to forget about because they were too stressed or too busy to really relish in the Christmas Spirit. I have compiled a list of 5 different Christmas cookie recipes to help you get in the spirit before Christmas Eve is upon us.

1. Russian Tea Cakes

Don't let the name fool you. These are cookies, not cakes. Despite their odd looking appearance, these bite size cookies are fun to make and the perfect treat.

2. Sugar Cookies

I know, I know. Sugar cookies are basically common knowledge. But with a group of people, making sugar cookies could really get you in the spirit. Use cookie cutters to get Christmas shapes like reindeer and gingerbread men. And then the best part? When the cookie are cooled enough, decorate them all crazy or have cookie decorating competitions.

4. Double Chocolate Chip Mint Cookies

You can't just settle for chocolate cookies. The peppermint is what brings in the Christmas. Might I make a suggestion? Spread vanilla frosting on these cookies and then sprinkle some crushed peppermint on top. It will add a festive look to them while tasting amazing!

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.
