An Alphabetical List Of The Best Things About The Holidays

A is for Angels. Don't underestimate the power of a guardian angel watching over you this winter.

B is for Boots. Riding boots, over-the-knee boots, combat boots, Hunter boots, Bean boots... Whatever suits your style, this season is the perfect excuse to break out your favorite pair.

C is for Christmas Carols. "The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear." -Elf

D is for Decorations. Driving through neighborhoods full of lights is a sure-fire way to get yourself in the spirit!

E is for Eggnog. The official drink of Christmas.

F is for Food. Feasts of your favorite festive dishes will fill the table - and your tummy.

G is for Gingerbread. Whatever form it may take: a gingerbread house, a gingerbread man or woman, or simply gingerbread cookies, you can count on this treat to be delicious every time.

H is for Hope. There's something about January rolling around that gives you a sense of new beginnings, and it's the perfect time to start thinking about your New Year's Resolutions.

I is for Ice Skates. Even if you're not the most skilled at skating, it's fun to get bundled up and enjoy the winter weather.

J is for Jesus. The holidays are so much fun, but let's not forget what Christmas is all about.

K is for Kris Kringle. The other person Christmas is all about, duh.

L is for Lights.

M is for Mittens. Nothing says winter like a pair of cute mittens wrapped around a hot cocoa.

N is for Nutcracker. The beautiful music of the Nutcracker is the soundtrack to Christmas.

O is for Ornaments. Especially the sentimental ones.

P is for Presents. No explanation needed.

R is for Reunions. Being with friends and family during this time of giving is a great excuse to get everyone together.

S is for Sales. And Snow. And Sleighs. And Snowflakes. And Sweaters.

T is for Tree. Outside, they just look so beautiful covered in snow, and inside, they look almost even more beautiful covered in lights.

U is for Unwrap. Seeing your loved ones tear into their gifts with a smile on their face somehow makes the holiday shopping craze well worth it.

V is for Vixen. The most underrated reindeer of course.

W is for Wreaths.

X is for Xmas. Although it's not the only holiday of the season, it's one of the most widely celebrated!

Y is for Yuletide.

Z is Zealous... Which is the spirited, enthusiastic way most people look at the New Year this season.

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.

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.
