A Modern Twist On The '12 Days Of Christmas'
History

Everyone loves the "12 Days of Christmas," and at any point when the song comes on, the majority of those around you could pick up and join it. However, who would want "seven swans a-swimming" in 2015?

What if that song was written today? Here is a humorous crack at how a 2015 version of the "12 Days of Christmas" would go -- with pictures.


On the FIRST day of Christmas my person gave to me a copy of Adele's new CD.

On the SECOND day of Christmas my person gave to me one Chipotle burrito with extra meat and a scoop of guacamole.

On the THIRD day of Christmas my person gave to me three oddly shaped chocolate trees.

On the FOURTH day of Christmas my person gave to me four iPhone 6s, with unlimited data, and a case with a little extra bling.

On the FIFTH day of Christmas my person gave to me five Selfie Sticks.

On the SIXTH day of Christmas my person gave to me six Jingle Jam tickets, with souvenirs, and a badge that said VIP.

On the SEVENTH day of Christmas my person gave to me a text for date night, and Chinese take-out, followed by seven emojis.

On the EIGHTH day of Christmas my person gave to me one game of Pie Face, and a new "Star Wars," and a copy of "Minions" on DVD.

On the NINTH day of Christmas my person gave to me nine plain red cups of coffee with extra whipped cream.

On the TENTH day of Christmas my person gave to me 10 days vacation and threw in the WiFi for free.

On the ELEVENTH day of Christmas my person gave to me tickets to see Jurassic World in 3D.

On the TWELFTH day of Christmas my person gave to me the twelfth season of "Grey's Anatomy."

Merry Christmas, ya filthy animals.

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.

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.
