Listen--do you have a moment to talk about our lord and savior, Santa Claus?

No?

Too bad.

Welcome to the Church of Santa, where we worship the almighty jolly giant known as Santa Claus.

Our jovial, gift-giving god above comes every December 25th to give thanks to all the people of the world for following in his teachings. Here's how you can join in on the worship:

1. Santa is the one true jolly red giant above. You shall have no jolly red giants before Santa. Stars included.

2. You shall not speak badly of Santa. Do you know how difficult it is delivering billions of presents in one night? Do you? Do you? Give the poor man a break. He only does this once every year.

3. Remember to spread the Christmas cheer to others. Or else you will be punished. Severely. (I think the worst Santa will do involves you needing to shovel some reindeer droppings from your roof. Don't look at me--look at that stupid Rudolph who doesn't know where the bathroom is.)

4. You shall not steal other children's presents...unless the child whose present is being stolen is asking for it. In that case, show that little sh*t who's boss and rip that 2018 Nintendo X-845 from his cold, undeserving hands. Sorry, Billy. Better luck next year.

On this day of our lord Santa, please keep in your hearts the list he's making and checking twice. He's going to find out who's naughty or nice, and he will know which kid really deserves that Rollplay Chevy Silverado.


P.S. You must be below the age of 7 in order to be a member of this congregation.

P.S.S. For those few readers who are indeed aged 7 and below: failure to follow these tenants will result in excommunication and perpetual amounts of coal in your stocking. You have been warned.

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.
