12 Stages Of Falling In Love With The Hallmark Channel
Hallmark Channel

Ah, the Hallmark Channel Countdown to Christmas.

You've probably heard of it, even if you've never seen it. It's a wonderful gift that we don't deserve where the Hallmark Channel plays original movies 24 hours a day until Christmas. It's an emotional experience to get invested in the Hallmark Channel and once you get sucked in, you'll never go back.

1. You turn on the Hallmark Channel to see what the hype is about

It's an explosion of Christmas. Why are there so many sweaters? Why does the whole town take Christmas so seriously?

2. You suddenly have watched three movies without realizing it

How did time fly by so quickly? They never stopped showing movies and I never left my couch.

3. You've seen so many movies in one sitting, you realize they're all kind of the same thing and grow resentful

What is all the fuss about? I've seen one. I've seen them all.

4. Ba Humbug! You HATE the Hallmark Channel!

There's no reason to like this channel! It's idiotic! The movies have the same actors even. This is a crime against humanity. We deserve better programming.

5. You had a bad day and like a gift from the heavens, Hallmark channel is still playing Christmas movies even at this late hour. So you decide to watch another

They're just there. They're playing all the time. They never stop. It's like... they're waiting for me to watch them.

6. You realize Hallmark channel is happiness, joy and the most wholesome thing you need in your life

Nothing can bring you down, you have the Hallmark channel.

7. You have to tell everyone about how much you love the Hallmark channel

Everyone needs this Christmas joy in their life! How have I lived without this masterpiece? Have you seen this movie? I loved that one with the girl and the guy and the house! Yes and the one with the prince! Or the one with the doctor!

8. You defend the Hallmark channel to ALL nay-sayers!

"THE HALLMARK CHANNEL IS MAGICAL CHRISTMAS GOODNESS! I DON'T CARE THAT THEY'RE ALL THE SAME! I LIKE THAT I KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN BECAUSE LIFE DOESN'T HAVE HAPPY ENDINGS BUT THE HALLMARK CHANNEL DOES! THE HALLMARK CHANNEL ALWAYS HAS HAPPY ENDINGS!"

9. You believe in love again and dream of moving to a small Christmas town with the best Christmas cookies ever

Nothing can get better than this!

10. And then... Christmas is over. And the movies are gone. But the Christmas magic is still in your heart.

You look at the Hallmark channel sometimes and remember a time when the movies were there for you to watch whenever you wanted. You smile because you love them. You smile because you're sad. You smile because that's what Hallmark Christmas movies would want you to do even though they are gone.

11. Then the holidays come around again and you get to rewatch your favorite Christmas movies! Even some new ones! And everything is right with the world.

Yay! Chrsitmas time is here again!

12. Most importantly, the Hallmark channel stays in your heart forever for Christmas seasons to come

Because you know, you're home when you're watching the Hallmark channel.

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.
