Why I Look Forward To Christmas Every Year

I have always loved the holidays. I love the hot cocoa with marshmallows all the way to the top. I love the fuzzy socks, footed pajamas and christmas songs. I love everything that is related to Christmas. Every year I look forward to having a white Christmas. I don't understand how people can not like the holiday. Everything about it seems perfect to me: winter break, time with our families and more.

The shopping during this time can get very hectic and I understand that. However I find it exciting to go to the stores and look for what you plan on getting for your friends and family each year. I like hearing Christmas songs on the radio as I am shopping and I like seeing the stores decorated for Christmas. Yes, It might cost you some money, however the deals are really good. Not only buying the gifts, but wrapping them up is also something that I enjoy doing. It's not only because of the shopping that I love Christmas as much as I do, it is also because of the things that I can't control. For example every Christmas, I hope for a white Christmas. I love seeing the snow on the ground because it makes it look more like Christmas.

Another reason I love Christmas is because of the religious meaning behind it. In December if you drive around you will most likely see signs that say "Keep Christ in Christmas" I love that saying because although many people celebrate Christmas, people usually forget that there is a religious meaning behind it. My religious belief also allows me to enjoy Christmas more because it has a beautiful meaning behind it.

I understand that Christmas can be difficult for some people, but I still believe that everyone should do their best to enjoy it as much as they can. I suggest that everyone just takes some time to enjoy the beauty of Christmas. When you are on your way to work or school put on some Christmas music and enjoy it as you are driving. Take a day off and decorate your tree and the rest of your house with all sorts of christmas decorations. Also take sometime to watch a Christmas movie with your family, friend, special someone or even your pet! While drinking some hot cocoa and wearing your footed pajamas. Make the most of this holiday season and enjoy it as much as you can with your loved ones.

Be thankful this Christmas season and try to be happy. It only happens once a year and it is a beautiful time to celebrate. Don't forget that Christmas should not only be about the presents but also about spending time with your family. Don't forget that Christmas is "the most wonderful time of the 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.
