5 Great Christmas Movies Not Apart of 25 Days of Christmas
UpHe

Freeform, previously ABC Family, continues the tradition of 25 Days Of Christmas, movie marathon that hits a lot of classics but misses quiet a few. These movies still deserve some recognition and should definitely be added to your 2016 watch list.

1. How the Grinch Stole Christmas

Excluded from this year's marathon, this movie is an absolute classic. I was so disappointed to see this excluded from this years list. It is hilarious and heartwarming and a Dr. Seuss classic.

2. A Christmas Story

It might be because TBS and TNT play it on a 24 hour loop on Christmas day, but it is still a Christmas classic that needs to be watched. Is it even really Christmas if you don't watch Ralphie shoot his eye out?

3. The Ref

Okay, this is pretty intense for the 25 days of Christmas movie marathon and people can debt if it really is a Christmas movie, but it really truly is. It is hilarious but also shows the value of family and love and the spirit of Christmas.

4. Bad Santa

This really doesn't belong on FreeForm but for the right audience this movie is hilarious and amazing. It's a great way to cheer yourself up after all that family time and getting asked what you are doing with your life 500 times.

5. Krampus

Just released in 2015 this dark comedy/horror movie is perfect for Christmas night to really get you into the spirit of things and show what family really is about.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

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.
