Five Movies to Watch During the Holidays

Hey, guys! So, since I made a list of the five must-see movies for Halloween, I thought it was only right to do one for Christmas as well. So, here is a list of the five movies you HAVE to see this year!

1. The Santa Clause

This movie from 1994, is a must-see for anyone who enjoys the Christmas holidays. It's a classic about how a father has to take over the role of Santa after Santa falls off of his roof. Plus, it has Tim Allen, so it has to be good! Did I mention that it's on Netflix now?

2. It's a Wonderful Life

Also a classic, It's a Wonderful Life from 1946 is a story about what life would have been like if the main character had never existed. Don't worry, the movie's not all sad; there are happy parts.

3. The Holiday

The Holiday is a movie from 2006, but for some reason, I hadn't seen it until last year. It is a chick flick, but it's really sweet and I absolutely adore this movie. I won't be able to go another Christmas without watching it. The amazing cast consists of Cameron Diaz, Kate Winslet, Jack Black, and Jude Law.

4. The Polar Express

So, when I looked up the year for this one, it made me feel SO old! (It's from 2004...it's twelve years old. WHAT?) But, this movie is still one of my favorites. The music, Tom Hanks, everything. Just. So. Good.

5. How the Grinch Stole Christmas

Okay, so this one definitely makes me feel old. How the Grinch Stole Christmas came out in 2000. I was only six years old! It does NOT feel like it's been that long since it came out. Well, anyway, this is a really good Christmas movie and it has Jim Carrey in it, so you know it has to be good.

These are only five movies out of a larger list of Christmas movies that are really good that I watch every year, but if you have Christmas movie recommendations, you can comment them below, because I've surely missed some! Happy Holidays!

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

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.
