One of my favorite things to do during the holiday season is to watch movies while I decorate the Christmas tree, or bake holiday cookies. Here are some of my favorites!

Elf 

One of the most quotable movies of the 21st century, Elf is a must-see around Christmas. I don't think a holiday season has passed without me watching it at least twice.

Love Actually 

One of the greatest romantic comedies of all time, Love Actually is my personal favorite movie, no matter the season. It involves nine intertwined stories, all of which examine different levels of human existence, and it is all centered around the holiday season. The clip above is from one of the sweetest scenes in the movie.

Scrooge 

Although there have been many different versions of Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol," made, Scrooge, staring Albert Finney and made in 1970, is, in my opinion, the best one. The clip above is my favorite song from the musical, "Thank You Very Much."

A Christmas Story 

Giphy

A Christmas Story is a classic Christmas movie. It is one of my favorites to watch with my family while we decorate our Christmas tree.

White Christmas

White Christmas

Although it was released in 1954, White Christmas remains to be an iconic Christmas movie because of its amazing soundtrack and wholesome plot line.

Four Christmases 

Four Christmases is a great movie to watch if you are looking for a comedy. Due to flight cancellations, Brad and Kate have to forgo their usual tropical Christmas vacation, and instead visit all of their crazy families in one day. The clip above is one of my favorite scenes, where Kate and Brad get roped into playing Joseph and Mary in the nativity scene.

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. 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.

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.
