Must See Christmas Trees

My favorite thing about Christmas every year is looking at all of the amazing tree displays around the world. It makes me so happy to see other people are as crazy about Christmas as I am—even though I wouldn't stand out in the cold to put a billion lights on the tree, or decorate a 280 foot-high tree. I love the Christmas spirit so much, and started researching the best Christmas trees this holiday season. Here are the top ten Christmas tress that I found searching the internet for 2015.

10. London, St. Pancras Station, U.K.

This amazingly tall tree is said to be made from plastic lego bricks. The tree was created by Duncan Titchmarsh and stands about 40 feet high. About 600,000 lego bricks were needed to create this tree according to Hello Magazine

9. Berlin, Germany

This Beautiful, Traditional Christmas tree is found to light up Berlin as it stands illuminated next to the Brandenburger Tor Brandenburg gate in Germany.

8. Prague, Czech Republic

This Christmas Tree is found in the center of the Christmas Market known as Old Town Square over their festival where traditional cuisine and handcrafted goods can be purchased.

7. Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

This almost 280 foot tree made it into the Guinness Book of Records as the tallest tree of its kind. However this tree showcases the world’s largest floating Christmas tree where 3.1 million bulbs flicker to simulate the changes between the four seasons.

6. Ukraine, Eastern Europe

This tree is about 130 feet tall and is actually an eco-friendly tree. It's rainbow colors bring people from all over the globe to see its amazing display.

5. Vilnius, Lithuania

In Lithuania's Town Hall, this amazing tree stands tall. The locals and visitors love to wander the sparkling streets or have a drink in one of many cozy bars and cafes.

4. Washington D.C, United States

The lighting of the Capitol Christmas Tree has been a popular American tradition since 1964 when House Speaker John W. McCormack suggested to J. George Stewart, Architect of the Capitol, that a Christmas tree be placed on the Capitol grounds. Each year thereafter this tree was decorated and a tree-lighting ceremony was held. The giant Christmas tree decorates the grounds every year in Washington D.C. and is a must see.

3. Rome, Italy

Although some may argue that this beautiful city doesn't need a Christmas tree, they don't fall short of creating one of the brightest and prettiest around the world.

2. Paris, France

This beautiful, four-story tree, covered in Swarovski crystals, displays how truly amazing the city of Paris is. It's elegance brings people from around the world to see the fashion capital's stylish Christmas tree.

1. New York City, United States

This tree screams Christmas as people skate around in Rockefeller Center under its lights. Decorated with more than 30,000 multi-colored energy-efficient LED lights and crowned with a Swarovski star, everyone around the world comes to see the one and only true Christmas tree.

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.

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.
