Most big cities have displays that showcase the beautiful Christmas decorations that you can take your car through. Some require tickets or a reservation but it is often fairly affordable. This way, you can experience the magic of Christmas in a safe way. A free way to experience the lights is to simply drive through neighborhoods with some hot cocoa and cookies!

Because of COVID-19 people will often drive through neighborhoods in packs decorated to the nines in red and green lights and tinsel. People watch from their porches or out their windows. Sometimes the parades will have fun holiday characters sitting on the back of the cars. Watch for these events in your neighborhood newsletter.

This category is obviously broad. One famous holiday treat that has been surging on TikTok is Hot Cocoa bombs.

This holiday treat turns a cup of steaming hot milk into delicious hot cocoa in a flash. There's always gingerbread houses and Christmas cookies that remain the reigning holiday classic. This is a great year to improve your skills and try something new.


Stay safe, and Happy Holidays!

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.
