Yes, another Christmas article in the sea of Christmas articles this time of the year. But let's be honest, Christmas is amazing and we can't get enough of it. What else can I not get enough of? "Love Actually." It's not Christmas until I've watched this film at least 10 times. I can't help but think of all the things this movie describes about the holiday season.

1. When you are excited about the holidays and everyone else is indifferent

2. When Christmas morning comes and you make your way downstairs

3. When you finally get time to yourself

4. When someone asks if Christmas is your favorite holiday

5. When the Christmas feast begins and you've been waiting for the food

6. When someone gets you a gift you really like

7. When you realize it's still cuffing season and you are alone

8. When it doesn't always go according to plan

9. When the Christmas cookies run out

10. When the Christmas music comes on the radio

11. When you are single for another holiday season


12. When you ask your friends for cuffing advice

13. When your Christmas decorations go overboard

14. When you figure out the weather is going to drop drastically

15. When someone wants something expensive for Christmas

16. When someone gets you a present you don't like

17. Trying to bundle up to go out in the cold

18. Listening to all of your relatives life advice

19. When you get just a little too into present wrapping

20. When the family leaves and you can finally relax

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.

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.
