Now that Thanksgiving is over, it's time to get into the Christmas spirit! One of the best ways to do that is by watching Christmas movies. I've compiled a list of the seven best Christmas movies that you should watch this holiday season!

1. How The Grinch Stole Christmas

How The Grinch Stole Christmas is a classic Christmas movie. Whoville is the cutest town and with all the Whos getting ready for Christmas it always puts me in the holiday spirit. Cindy Lou's song "Where Are You Christmas?" always makes me feel all the feels. It's the sweetest moment when she makes the Grinch realize he has a heart after all.

2. Home Alone

The Home Alone series is always bound to put you in the Christmas spirit. Poor Kevin is accidentally left alone when his family goes on vacation, but it turns into an adventure for him. He is able to protect his home from burglars and help his neighbor reconnect with his family. In the end, Kevin is reunited with his family on Christmas and everyone is happy.

3. It's A Wonderful Life

This black and white film is sure to put you in the Christmas spirit. Seeing George Bailey go through his struggles on Christmas Eve shows that everyone has hard times, but the good times make life worth living. Christmas is all about family and seeing people come together, just like the town did for George when he was in need.

4. Eloise At Christmastime

Eloise At Christmastime was always my favorite Christmas movie to watch as a kid. I love watching Eloise confidently live her life in the Plaza Hotel. She is able to push people's buttons, while still being the adorable six year old she is. She saves Christmas Eve by getting the right people together and by spreading Christmas joy to everyone at the Plaza.

5. Love Actually

Love Actually is the best Christmas rom-com. The movie focuses on many different story lines, but all include different aspects of love. All of the characters go through different struggles and work through them leading up to Christmas. It doesn't end with perfect endings for all of them, but they continue on with love as the main theme.

6. The Polar Express

The Polar Express is a perfect movie to put you in the Christmas spirit! If you want to drink some hot cocoa, snuggle under a blanket, and watch a Christmas movie, The Polar Express should be your go to. The boy in the film goes from not believing in Santa to truly believing in him, even if he can't always see him. The conductor, the girl, and Santa show him what Christmas magic is all about.

7. Elf

Elf is hands down the funniest and best Christmas movie. No one can stop themselves from laughing every five seconds during Elf. Buddy captures true Christmas spirit and joy! Seeing him go from feeling like an outcast in the North Pole to knowing he belonged there is the perfect Christmas transformation.

There's my list of the best Christmas movies! I hope these seven movies can help put you in the holiday spirit as you get ready for Christmas!

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.
