Let me first start off by saying that I was not allowed to celebrate Halloween growing up. And while at first I was salty about it, the older I got the more I realized how - wait for it - stupid Halloween is and that there are so much better holidays out there. Like Christmas.

The meaning of it has always stayed true to itself

A day that was originally intended to remember the dead has been changed to people thinking it's the devil's holiday, people dressing up in costumes as all sorts of things. While Christmas has always been about celebrating the birth of Jesus (even though yes I know it is not His actual birthday). While we get presents on Christmas, we all know that Jesus is the reason for the season.

The movies are better

'Elf' 'A Christmas Story' 'Dr. Suess' How the Grinch Stole Christmas,' need I say more?

The songs are better

Has anyone ever made a Halloween playlist? No. Christmas playlist? Do I even need to answer that?

No one is trying to scare you, they’re just trying to love you.

All I’m saying is, no one was walking around during Christmas time dressed as a clown

Weather is better.

There’s not a song about dreaming of a white Halloween is there? I think not.

Also, so many fun things you can do during Christmas time. Ice skating, snowboarding, skiing, making snow angels. Snowball fights, snow forts, Christmas is just the best.

Why wear a costume for one day (or at all) when you can deck yourself in holiday gear


Personally, I'm not a fan of dressing up for Halloween. But I am a fan of wearing Christmas clothes.

So while everyone is counting down the days until Halloween, and planning out their costumes, I will be counting down the time until it is socially acceptable to wear Christmas clothes.

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.
