If you're a Christmas fanatic like me, then you totally agree that Christmas actually starts on November 1st. But, if you're my boyfriend, then you totally disagree and think Christmas should wait until after Thanksgiving to be celebrated. Except, he's wrong, and here are some reasons why!

1. Two months of Christmas is better than one.

November is Christmas eve month, so why would you not want two months to anticipate the best holiday of the year? I definitely don't think that one month for Christmas is nearly enough time to celebrate!

2. Black Friday and Cyber Monday are in November.

Black Friday happens the day after Thanksgiving, and Cyber Monday, the following Monday, both which are days in November. Therefore, you can get all your Christmas shopping before December even starts!

3. Extended time for Christmas music.

Christmas music on repeat? Yes, please!

4. Stores are already selling Christmas decorations anyway.

If the stores are selling Christmas decorations, then we all might as well buy them! Department stores are declaring it's Christmas time, so lets all hop on board.

5. Pumpkin spice hype is dying out.

Bye, pumpkin spice. Hello hot chocolate, eggnog, gingerbread, and peppermint lattes.

6. Hallmark movies start now.

Cheesy Hallmark Christmas movies are running now through December 25th, so curl up with a cup of hot cocoa and watch the Christmas love stories unfold.

7. Deck the halls.

Why would you not want your house to be decked out with Christmas decorations, Christmas lights, and all things jolly for two months?

8. More time to get on Santa's "nice" list.

There's more time to show Santa why you belong on the nice list so that you don't end up with coal for Christmas.

9. It makes you happy!

If you start celebrating Christmas in November, then you have even more time to be joyful!!

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.
