Now that Thanksgiving is over, it is Christmas time, which if you ask me is the best time of year. There are so many ways to get into the holiday spirit. From listening to Christmas music to ugly sweaters and so much more. Another thing no one can escape during this holiday season is Christmas movies. Here is a list of movies to watch before Christmas.

1. The Santa Clause

"Seeing isn't believing. Believing is seeing."

2. It's a Wonderful Life

"Teacher says, every time a bell rings an angel gets his wings"

3. Home Alone

"Keep the change ya filthy animal."

4. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation

"Dad this tree won't fit in our backyard." "It's not going in the yard Russ. It's going in our living room."

5. A Christmas Story

" I want an official Red Ryder, carbine action, two-hundred shot range model air rifle!"

6. Elf

"Buddy the Elf, what's your favorite color?"

7. Polar Express

"The bell still rings for all who truly believe."

8. Frosty the Snowman

"One friend is a lot different than no friends. One friend is plenty."

9. How the Grinch Stole Christmas

"Maybe Christmas doesn't come from a store, maybe Christmas, perhaps means a little bit more."

10. Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer

"Ready Santa"

11. Love Actually

"To me you are perfect."

12. Christmas with the Kranks

"You're skipping Christmas! Isn't that against the law?"

13. A Christmas Carol

"You'll be visited by three spirits..."

14. Four Christmases

His father, her mother, his mother, her father, all in one day

Because they are all fantastic movies.

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.

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.
