Twinkling lights and presents are the best.

Why Christmas is Actually My Favorite Holiday

The smell of trees and decorations float through the air as the family sets up the Christmas tree, the laughter of jokes and stories of Christmas' past. These are only a few of the things that I love about Christmas. I will never deny the fact that Christmas is actually my favorite holiday. I love the songs, the gifts, the lights and everything Christmas.

No, I do not forget Thanksgiving, but I mean I always eat a lot of food on Christmas too, especially when I go to my grandmother’s on Christmas Eve. She always makes the mini hotdogs that are super yummy. I love walking into stores that have all of their Christmas decorations out already. They have all of the twinkling lights and songs that play from the little buttons you push. My favorite thing is testing out all of the lights just to see what they do.

I cannot forget the music that the local radio station starts to play the day after Halloween. Nothing can put you in the Christmas mood like a little jingle bells. I enjoy being able to run around in the snow and make snow angels, although the cold really sucks. One of my all time favorite things to do is to travel around to see all of the houses with all of their Christmas lights up. There is one house where they actually play music and have lights that match the song, and you can just tune in on the radio station and watch outside!

All in all I will never deny that Christmas is truly my favorite holiday. I hope that every person is able to spend their holiday season with friends and family. The holidays are only special when you can share all of your happiness with the people around you. Hold your loved ones close and keep warm next to the fireplace, and have a happy holiday. Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!

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.

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.
