"If gingerbread's too spicy, then go for snickerdoodles instead. It's like trading Mexican food for Taco Bell"

6 Holiday Cookies and Unrelated Gifs

There is no more accurate way of expressing love than through desserts. For example, a cake indicates a volume of love equivalent to several hours of work and loving care. A tootsie roll indicates thinly veiled hatred. A holiday cookie is a lovely way to say 'I care about you enough to gift you one of dozens of doughy disks I made'.

Here's some great ideas for what kind of cookies you can make this holiday season.

1. Sugar

The gold standard of Christmas cookies, tried and true offerings for St Nick. Especially fun to do with kiddos!

2. Gingerbread

These are pretty similar to sugar cookies, but spicier and for some reason often used to introduce children to the concept of cannibalism. And architecture!

3. Snickerdoodle

If gingerbread's too spicy for you, then go for snickerdoodles instead. It's like trading Mexican food for Taco Bell.

4. Peppermint

If you're a mintphile like me, you can't get enough of this winter flavor! Whip up a batch of these refreshingly delicious cookies!

5. Eggnog

A little different than most cookies, but will become a beloved holiday tradition in no time! Sure to be a favorite, especially if you spike the eggnog a bit!

6. Bacon Chocolate Chip

For the meat lovers out there comes this delicious type of cookie that matches the salt of bacon to the sweetness of chocolate chip cookies!


What's YOUR favorite type of cookie?

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.
