8 Reasons Christmas Is the Best Holiday

It's officially the most wonderful time of the year, everyone!! There's so much to be excited for. Fall may be my favorite season but Christmas is DEFINITELY my favorite holiday. Here's 8 reasons Christmas is the greatest holiday.. ever.

1) Shopping, shopping, shopping

While some hate it, I LOVE shopping for Christmas gifts.. or shopping in general. This is the season that gives me a reason to shop shamelessly for others and myself.


2) Hi friends, hi family!

You're home for the holidays! Everyone is home for the holidays! It's so great be able to gather around and celebrate an amazing time of the year together with the ones you love.

3) No. School. OMG.

Praise God, y'all because we made it! Four months of agony, studying, and crying is over for a whole month! It's such a great feeling to be able to kick back and relax and not stress over any school work.

4) Decorations galore

Everything is so elegant and beautiful. From the Christmas trees to the stockings. It's even better at night when all the lights are turned on. And come on, I can't be the only one who loves driving around just to see how others decorate their homes.


5) Christmas music is officially acceptable.

Yeah, I mean, you could listen to Christmas music anytime of the year (if you want to be judged), but there's never a more perfect time to listen to Christmas music than around Christmas time! I'm listening to my man Michael Bublé as I'm typing.


6) The festivities.

The caroling, church plays, town events. All of it is so enjoyable and gets me so much more in the Christmas spirit.


7) Gifts

Self-explanatory. Who doesn't love gifts, amirite?


8) Jesus!!!

And let's not forget THE MOST important reason for it all, the birth of our Savior, Jesus. We wouldn't be celebrating this holiday without Him. He's the center of it all. I mean, you know what they say: "He's the reason for the season!"


Wishing everyone a merry, merry Christmas! Hope you guys spend lots of time with your families and friends. Extra blessed to be able to celebrate this holiday because of the birth of our King.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

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.
