Why Hallmark Christmas Movies Are Actually the Best

Christmas is the special time of year when it feels like anything can happen

Why Hallmark Christmas Movies Are Actually the Best
Hallmark Channel

Every year I secretly look forward to the cheesy Christmas movies on the Hallmark channel. People may say they don't watch these Christmas movies because there is bad acting, or unrealistic story lines, but these movies are the best at sucking you in because only during Christmas time can these magical moments happen. Christmas is the special time of year when it feels like anything can happen, so why can't a person fall in love with someone they just met or get over someone who they have lost?

The winter snow that is always very prevalent in these movies brings a sparkle to the already magical air. This makes it seems like anything can happen in these winter wonderlands, but it also makes you see the magic in Christmas. Even if you think that these movies are unrealistic they give you the gift of joy. Joy that comes from Christmas miracles and love at first sight. If you are in a committed relationship then it reminds you of the love you share with your significant other and makes you just want to snuggle up next to a fire with hot cocoa. On the other hand, if you are single it shows you that love can come when you least expect it.

The best part about the Hallmark channel is that there is ALWAYS a Christmas movie on. Bored over Christmas break and don't know what to do with all of the free time you have all of a sudden? Sit down with a friend, family, or by yourself and binge watch happy Christmas movies! What is better on a cold winter day (or a not so hot winter day in Texas) than to watch a movie that brings you into the Christmas spirit?

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.
