Well, Christmas isn't just big in the states. Christmas is big around the whole entire world. These 12 Christmas Tree's will have you wanting to travel the world:

1. Rockefeller Center in New York, New York

Home of US Broadcasting station NBC, the nation's most known tree's are put here to be gazed upon every Christmas. A tree has been put at the location since 1933.

2. Milano, Piazza Duomo in Milano, Italia

This spectacular Christmas tree is decorated with Pandora Jewelry. The architecture of the duomo really brings out the tree!

3. Place Vendome in Paris, France

These beautiful trees are set beside the restructured Vendome Column modeled after Trajan's Column to celebrate the victory of Austerlitz.

4. St. Katharine Docks in London, England

This Christmas tree is a 45ft tree with 14,000 lights. It took 8 men 16 hours to assemble and it weighs in at 5.8 tons! The star is 5ft tall, also.

5. Trafalgar Square in London, UK

This tree is actually a gift from Norway for England's help in War World II. They have been receiving the tree since 1947.

6. Galeries Lafayette in Paris, France

This beautiful Christmas tree was made by French artistic director, creator and writer, Lorenzo Papace. He made this tree out of PAPER! The department store has a different theme every year with a different tree every year. Just search what they have to offer... you will be amazed!

7. Brandenburg Gate in Berlin, Germany

With a population of 3.5 million people, a lot of people from Berlin come to the beautiful gate to see this tree on Christmas time. It also attracts many tourists. Many political events have happened here. It was once a place for Nazi ceremonies.

8. Monte Ingino, Gubbio, Italy

When you have several hundred trees instead of just one... Yeah, Italy is doing it right. Individual pine trees are fitted with lights in order to create a massive tree on the mountain. The Pope actually switches it on remotely... okay cool.

9. National Christmas Tree in Washington D.C, USA

Of course, this tree is sprinkled with red, white, and blue lights all over the tree: patriotism. The tree has been lit up for 54 years around the time.

11. Praca do Camercio in Lisbon, Portugal


This Christmas Tree is different every year.

12. Emirates Palace Hotel in Abu Dhabi, UAE

Located in the beautiful Emirates Palace Hotel. It is decorated with more than $11 million in jewelry and stones... Imagine losing something from that tree.

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.

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.
