Five Christmas Movies To Get You In The Holiday Spirit
Armita Safaie

Christmas time is a glorious time filled with hot chocolate, music, snow, presents, candles, and comfy clothing, but the best part is getting in the Christmas spirit with the hundreds of movies dedicated to the holiday. Here are five of my personal favorites to get you in the mood for the upcoming holidays!

1. "Elf"

This holiday classic featuring Will Ferrell playing Buddy will get you hyped for the holidays as you follow Buddy's adventures from the North Pole to NYC so he can find his real dad. Not only is this film humorous, but it also includes some cute, sappy scenes.


2. "The Polar Express"

It's not Christmas without cuddling up on the couch and watching this childhood favorite. The Polar Express will make you wish you could travel to watch Santa's sleigh take off while drinking a nice cup of hot coco and making new friends in the process.


3." Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer"

This Canadian-American animated film is a personal favorite from my childhood due to how cheesy it is. The story of Jake Spankenheimer and his year-long mission to find his beloved grandma who he claims was run over by a reindeer is a classic, not to mention the catchy Christmas song "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer" plays throughout the movie.

4. "Frosty the Snowman"

Is it really Christmas if you didn't watch Frosty the Snowman? This cartoon movie from 1969 shows us everyone's favorite snowman Frosty and his various adventures throughout the winter. But watch out! Evil professor Hinkle might try to ruin the joy.

5. "Home Alone"

This classic trilogy is basically the face of Christmas in my eyes. Everyone who is anyone loves this film, and sometimes I wish I could accidently take a flight to NY and experience the adventures he encounters.

If I were to sit here and list every single Christmas movie you should watch this upcoming holiday season, we would be here for a while, but these 5 classics will make for an amazing movie marathon with your loved ones, so go get in the spirit!

AI music threatens creativity

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.

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.
