5 Things That Go Through My Head While Watching Christmas Movies

Since it is officially Christmas time, that means "25 Days Of Christmas" begins on ABC Family. It is one of the things I look forward to in December and when they release the schedule, I literally jump for joy. As I have grow older I have somehow managed to get more and more excited. While watching these various movies, many things run through my head. Here are a few things that constantly go through my head while watching Christmas movies.

1. OMG, it's actually Christmas!

The fact that Christmas movies are finally playing just puts me into the Christmas mood. We have waited all year for this and the fact that it is actually here gets me so excited yet anxious because it is crunch time to buy gifts for your friends, family and significant others.

2. This is my favorite part.

If you are like me, you have seen almost every Christmas movie possible. Although you have seen the movies way more times then you should have, no matter what happens you will always love certain parts of the movie. For me, I can basically say every part of the movie "Elf" due to the simple fact that it is the greatest!

3. I want to be a kid again.

When most of the old cartoon Christmas movies come one, it brings back a flood of memories. I wish I could be a kid again and have the same excitement I had waking up on Christmas morning. Don't get me wrong, I still get excited but not as much as I used to when I was little. I literally could not sleep on Christmas Eve and now I have no problem because sleep is something I should have never taken for granted.

4. I wish it would snow here.

Since I live in the South, snow is very uncommon. I would love to get up on Christmas morning and have snow covering the ground, but I know that is a one in a million chance. As I watch the various Christmas movies, they all show snow in some way and it makes me yearn for the snow basically every day of December.

5. OMG, it is Christmas!

Yes, this goes through my head most of the time during Christmas movies because I seriously cannot believe after waiting all year, my favorite time of year is here. I am going to take in every moment and watch possibly every Christmas movie I can to get in the Christmas spirit because Christmas is the best!

I am so thankful for ABC Family playing all of my favorite Christmas movies and helping me get in the holiday spirit. Whether I am watching them by myself, surrounded by friends or surrounded by family, I know that these few things will always cross my mind at some point.

AI music threatens creativity

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.
