Hi again! Since it's the holiday season and it's Christmas time. I'm going to list my five favorite Christmas movies.

5. Christmas with the Kranks (2004)

This film starts Tim Allen, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Dan Aykroyd. This comedic Christmas film helps set the mood for Christmas because it's a great family film that never lets you stop laughing. Tim Allen seems to be the king of Christmas movies. I recommend this film whenever someone is looking for a good, quality Christmas film to watch.

4. The Santa Clause 2 (2002)

Tim Allen stars in this movie along with Elizabeth Mitchell, David Krumholtz, and Judge Reinhold. While most people seem to play the first and third movies on tv and those two are the most recognized. The Santa Clause 2, to me, is by far the most underrated and it shouldn't be because it's the best one out of all three. Maybe I'm just a fan of sequels and that's why, but I believe The Santa Clause 2 is the best movie out of the three. With the humor, romance, and action at the end the movie is a Christmas classic at my house.

3. The Polar Express (2004)

Tom Hanks stars in this film as he plays several characters and helps capture this classic Christmas story. The Polar Express may not have a lot of humor, but it sure does exhibit the true meaning of Christmas and allows people of all ages to believe one Santa Claus once again. This film is a no doubt classic and is a must watch during this time of year.

2. Elf (2003)

Will Ferrell, James Caan, Bob Newhart, and Zooey Deschanel all star in this megahit of a Christmas film. Elf provides just the right amount of laughter, Christmas spirit and love. As we get closer to Christmas, the more likely you are to see Elf be playing on tv. This a must watch and classic Christmas film that you never get tired of and can most likely recite half the lines from.

Honorable mentions: National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (1989), Home Alone (1990), Fred Claus (2007), and While You Were Sleeping (1995).

1. White Christmas (1954)

Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye, Rosemary Clooney, and Vera Ellen star in this Christmas classic. I remember watching this film when I was a kid and it being one of my favorites. As I've gotten older, it continues to be my favorite as well as a must watch every Christmas. My family has even started a tradition a few years back where we watch White Christmas every Christmas Eve. Humor, romance, singing, and dancing all help make this film perfect.

I hope you enjoyed this list and that you watch Christmas films as much as you can. Happy Holidays

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

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

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
