I love Christmas. And when I say I love Christmas, I mean I am OBSESSED with everything surrounding the Christmas season. It's important not to forget the true meaning of Christmas, but these movies will help you get into the Christmas spirit. One of my favorites traditions is to watch the same Christmas movies on repeat. Corny? Maybe. Regardless, here's my four favorite classic '60s movies that help me get into the Christmas spirit!

1. "Santa Claus is Comin' to Town"

Join the Kringle's and the Burgermeister Meisterburger for a fun-filled fifty minutes of timeless Christmas songs, classic puppet-like cinematography, and all the Christmas vibes you felt when you were five years old. From the day after Thanksgiving beyond Christmas Day, it is a safe bet that I am watching this classic or the next one - "Jack Frost"!

2. "Jack Frost"

The classic "Jack Frost" is a Christmas masterpiece. I had the biggest crush on Jack Frost when I was younger. Who am I kidding - I still do! The quest for Jack Frost to have a normal human life is explored through this timeless classic. A must-watch for every Christmas season!

3. "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer"

Did anyone else ever realize how many lessons and motifs there are in "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer"? I noticed but not to the full extent until recently, like, wow! Anyways, this is a must-watch classic story of an outcast reindeer who gains a place in "high society" as Santa's leading reindeer. Rudolph is almost as adorable as Jack Frost, ready to cheer up your Christmas spirit with his cute red nose.

4. "The Year Without A Santa Claus"

Imagine a Christmas without Santa Claus? Everyone knows him, everyone loves him. This classic explores the pitiful year Santa Claus decided to take a holiday, leaving Mrs. Claus and his elves to navigate the project that is present-delivery on Christmas Eve! This classic tops out the four Christmas movies I watch on repeat from Thanksgiving to Christmas. Who am I kidding? I watch these movies way past Christmas; it's all a part of that holly jolly spirit!

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.
