Halloween just ended, and I'm already sad about it. Halloween is my absolute favorite holiday. There are people who have already got their Christmas tree up and have completely forgotten about Halloween. Some people prefer Thanksgiving and the low key parts about it. All of the holiday talk got me to thinking about which of these holidays people thought was the best and why. Here are some answers I received.

The question: Which out of Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas is your favorite and why?

1. "Halloween is my favorite because it changes every year. I dress up as something different every year, and it reflects my personality at that time in my life."

2. "Thanksgiving is my favorite because of all the food. Mashed potatoes are life."

3. "Halloween is my favorite because you aren't really expected to see family on Halloween, and my family and I don't get along very well."

4. "Christmas is my favorite because of the music. I start listening to Christmas music as soon as it hits Halloween." Lol

5. "Halloween is my favorite because it brings out everyone's goofy side. Most of the holidays you're expected to act serious and all that, and Halloween is for everyone to just be themselves. I love it."

6. "Christmas because of Hallmark movies. I'm a huge romantic, so they always make me feel so warm and fuzzy inside."

7. "Thanksgiving for sure because it just involves sitting on the couch and eating."

8. "Christmas is my favorite because everyone seems happier around Christmas time. I also love buying everyone presents!"

9. "Christmas is my favorite because I work in a soup kitchen downtown and everyone is so grateful!"

10. "Halloween is my favorite because I work at a mall and I have to work the other holidays and it's madness."

11. "Thanksgiving because I get to eat a lot and then my family and I go shopping together."

12. "It's hard to choose, but Halloween because I feel like it gets the least amount of attention."

13. Christmas because the new year is right around the corner and I love fresh starts!"

Christmas: 5

Halloween: 5

Thanksgiving: 3

Halloween and Christmas were tied, and Thanksgiving was left in the dust. Regardless of your favorite holiday, I hope your holidays are full of fun and what your favorite part of them is!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

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

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.
