As you all tune into ABC Family's 25 Day's of Christmas, some of those silly cartoons that you watch can hold some special lessons. Sometimes those meanings get lost behind the merry tunes and the weird animation, but if you pay close attention or watch them more times than you want to actually admit, you can find the lessons. Some lessons are simple, some are complex, some are small, and some are silly, but at the end of the day, you can learn something from watching these. Scroll through and find out!

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.

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.
