8 Of The Best Christmas Movies Ever

8 Of The Best Christmas Movies Ever
Home Alone. Kevin McCallister’s shenanigans never get old in this classic film in which he must protect his house from being robbed while he is, accidentally, left at home. The sequel (Home Alone 2: Lost in New York) is also just as good as the first, if not better.     

The Family Stone. An uptight businesswoman named Meredith (Sarah Jessica Parker) is brought to her boyfriend’s home for Christmas time, but is not very welcomed as she feels out of place. This comedy boasts an excellent cast and an original storyline.      

How The Grinch Stole Christmas. Jim Carrey was born for this role because he kills it in this live-action adaption of Dr. Seuss’ notorious Christmas tale. The Grinch is tired of the cheerful Whos' obsession with Christmas and decides to ruin their holiday spirit by stealing all their presents.

Elf. A man raised as an elf in the North Pole travels to New York City to find his real father and discover who he actually is. This features, probably, one of Will Ferrell’s best performances and is a really funny movie.       

The Polar Express. In this adaptation of the classic children’s book, Tom Hanks provides the voice of numerous characters, as the story is brought to life with smart and life-like animation.     

The Santa Clause. Tim Allen accidentally kills Santa Claus on Christmas Eve and, gradually, begins to turn into the next Santa. The plot is clever, making this movie a holiday classic. Don’t waste your time with the sequels, though, because they are not nearly as good.     

Bad Santa. A con-man dressed up as Santa Claus robs department stores on Christmas Eve, but is believed by one kid to be the real Santa. Billy Bob Thornton was nominated for a Golden Globe for his performance in this hilarious R-rated holiday film.     

The Nightmare Before Christmas. Tim Burton’s creative animated film works both as a Halloween movie and a Christmas movie. It tells the story of Jack Skellington’s desire to celebrate Christmas, instead of Halloween, after being tired of doing the same thing every year.

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.
