I understand this one may not be as beloved by the younger crowd of holiday movie watchers, but it's a classic. Yes, it's black and white, but I swear it's phenomenal. If you haven't seen this film, you have GOT to change that. It is downright impossible to finish this movie without a smile on your face and a good feeling in your chest. Oh, and it has been recognized by the American Film Institute as one of the 100 best American films ever made.

A Christmas Story (1983)

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.

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.
