Dear Santa

Dear Santa,

Yes, this letter is going to be about what's trending and from that list, what I would like, but there's going to be more to it than that. And I don't know if you know what a "GIF" is because you're a couple hundred years old, but you'll catch on.

I just want to start by saying "hello" to you and yours, and I hope that all is well. I want to say that I'm writing this because today, when I was watching "The Year Without a Santa Claus" on television, I got scared! I don't want anyone, but especially you, to ever feel unappreciated or that people don't believe in you. Maybe I'm the only one that thinks this, but anyone who lasts for 200 years cannot possibly be "just a myth.

As for your reindeer, I know them all by name! Not everyone can say that, you know, but I hope they're all healthy and ready for the holiday. Are you aware of all of the movies there are about you and the reindeer? I hope you are. I'd be interested in knowing the validity of the movie adaptations.

As for the presents, (ah yes, the presents...)

I'm really only interested in clothes, Santa. Let's be real, the clothes make the woman. Now yes, I do have lots of clothes already, but what's the harm in getting more? Aaaaaand they say you see all of us in our sleep, etc. so I'm guessing you know exactly what I would like.

Now that you think I'm only interested in material things, it's time I let you know what I'm even more interested in!

Santa, I've found great friends, I have a loving family, I'm doing well in school, and I'm finally figuring out what I want to do with my life. But, what can make or break the holiday season is the attitude of those around us. This year, I'm really hoping that everyone catches a serious case of Christmas spirit. The happiness and warm vibes required for this may be hard to come by, but this is what classifies a perfect holiday rather than any other gift. Seriously.

So, Santa, I hope this letter finds you well and that it's not "just another one" you'll receive this holiday season. See you in a couple weeks!

Sincerely,

Me

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
