Christmas movies seem to ebb and flow with the current demands of television viewers. Sometimes our favorite films become lost in the newer films until they are exiled from the program lineup. Here is a list of seven Christmas films I no longer see play on television but it still doesn't feel like Christmas without them.

1. "Annabelle's Wish."

View the trailer for "Annabelle's Wish" here.

"Annabelle's Wish" features a calf who was born on Christmas Eve who wants nothing more than to be one of Santa's reindeer, and a young boy, Billie, who lost his voice and parents in a barn fire. It shows their friendship and a custody battle in the midst of Christmas. Created by the "Make a Wish" foundation, it is sure to be a tear-jerker this holiday season.

2. "Eloise at Christmastime."


Eloise is up to her old antics again during Christmas as she tries to pair her best friend up with his old sweetheart. While trying to spread cheer to the other residents of the plaza, she will buy gifts for her long list of friends and wish to spend her holidays with her mother. Her nanny is also a familiar face to most as she is played by Julie Andrews, who will try and soothe some of the damage of her attempts by stopping a major scam happening this Christmas.

3. "Bah, Humduck! A Looney Tunes Christmas."


Daffy Duck stars in this funny version of "A Christmas Carol." Daffy owns a large toy store and isn't willing to give his employees time off for the holidays with a very small wage. It's a familiar story told with classic Looney Tunes characters.

4. "Unaccompanied Minors."


"Unaccompanied Minors" is a light-hearted film about children stuck in an airport during the holidays, specifically an airport not interested in showing any holiday spirit. So, these children take it upon themselves to celebrate their own way: by causing a ruckus.

5. "Olive the Other Reindeer."


Olive is a dog who isn't interested in being a dog, much to her owner's misfortune. When Santa makes a press release cancelling Christmas, she mishears him and goes on a quest to assist Santa by becoming his substitute reindeer. With a watch con-artist penguin helping her, will Olive be able to reach Santa in time for the holidays before the evil mailman stops her?

6. "Santa Baby."

View the trailer for "Santa Baby" here.

Santa is becoming swamped at the North Pole, and when his wife telegrams about his health to their daughter, Mary, she comes to see how she can help. But as Mary soon learns that he doesn't want help from his business-focused daughter, she begins to try and manage anyway. Will Mary be able to save Christmas or will the new system make it fall apart?

7. "Beauty and the Beast: Enchanted Christmas."


Have you ever wondered what happened around the time of the infamous snowball fight in "Beauty and the Beast?" Well, wonder no more for this movie answers all the questions. While animated sequels aren't known to be spectacular, this movie has all the heart from the original and gives more of an insight to how Belle and her Beast got on during their time together in the castle.


What's your favorite holiday movie?

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.

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.
