5 Must See Winter Movies

Here's something to watch the week before Christmas

5 Must See Winter Movies

So we are back at that time of the year where we all want to watch heartwarming movies and eat delicious food that is probably rather high in calories but tastes great. And, while we all know the classical movies, such as elf, there are some others that people don't watch as much, but you should definitely give them a try.

1. "The Holiday"

Perhaps I am a sucker for romantic comedies, but this is by far one of my favorite movies to watch on a cold winter day. It's set during Christmas, so it has that holiday spirit, and it has two fun love stories that will leave you grinning and happy.

2. "The Polar Express"

Before you scream "IT'S A KID'S MOVIE" watch this movie. While, yes, it is indeed a kids movie, this is one movie that you should be able to enjoy regardless of your age. Not only was it a well done movie, it has a lovely message, and it will take you on a wild ride emotionally.

3. "Trading Places"


I found this to be a hilarious comedy with just enough holiday spirit to make it onto this list. While it doesn't focus on a Christmas story per se it was definitely Christmas themed and it will make you laugh and enjoy yourself.

4. "The Nightmare before Christmas"

You may or may not agree with me on this, but, to me, this is not solely a Halloween movie. It's about a man who longed for something different, and he found it in the spirit of Christmas. While it certainly has spooky imagery and dark themes, it can be enjoyable to watch in the dead of night after everyone has gone to bed, but you haven't, because sleep is for the weak.

5. "A Christmas Carol" (2009 version)

There are many versions of this movie. This one, in my opinion, is for those that enjoy more of the horror genre. It's important to bear in mind that, when I watched "Coraline" - which is a kid's movie - I was quite frightened, so you may find this movie to be quite mild, but to me it was terrifying. It was fun to watch, and it certainly centers around Christmas, but yes, this is not a movie I would watch alone at night.

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.

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.

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.
