Christmas is right around the corner and if your holiday cheer isn't so cheery yet, I've got just the trick.

1. Decorate a Christmas tree

If there's one thing to get you into the holiday spirit, it's decorating a Christmas tree. It's really the first step of starting the holiday, at least for my family it is. String on some lights, add some super fun ornaments and let Christmas begin!

2. Watch a few Christmas classics

I think we can all admit we're a sucker for a good Christmas movie. Whether it's funny, romantic, or anything in between, watching a Christmas movie (especially if it's Elf or The Grinch, just sayin') is one of the best ways to enjoy Christmas time.

3. Go ice skating

Not making any promises that you won't slip and fall, but going ice skating with friends or family is a perfect way to get those Christmas vibes flowing.

4. Drink a cup of hot chocolate, or 10

I think this one speaks for itself. I mean, who can resist a warm cup of delicious hot chocolate?

5. Make a gingerbread house

Let your creativity soar by decorating a gingerbread house that a gingerbread man could only dream of living in.

6. Have a white elephant party

White elephants are a great way to get into the holiday spirit. And who knows, maybe you'll walk away with a huge tub of foot cream this Christmas.

7. Listen to some Christmas music

If there's one thing that comes to mind when I think of the holidays, it's Christmas music. Blast some Christmas tunes and you'll be rockin' around in the Christmas tree in no time (pun intended)!

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.
