My Letter To Santa

You are never, ever too old to write Santa a letter during Christmas.

My Letter To Santa
Tor Olson

I thought I would get into the spirit and write a letter to Santa during the Christmas season. You are never too old to write down all the things you want in letter form, addressed to the big man up north.

Dear Santa,

First, I want to thank you for the many years of presents you gave me and my brother. There are so many presents I will never forget waking up to. You gave me something to believe in for many years of my life.

I don’t want you to ever stop the hope you give children every year. It’s something every little kid needs in their life. It is the best feeling in the world to wake up to presents under the tree and to have the milk and cookies gone.

This year for Christmas I do not want a fancy camera, a new phone, or new clothes. I just want my dad to get a job, for my brother to get everything he wants, and for me to go to college. Things have been tough for us, as they are for everyone, but my family deserves a break from the rough patches.

Also, I want you to give every other kid what they want for Christmas. You gave me many years of gifts, and there are so many kids out there that deserve a great Christmas. The holidays are such a great time, especially when you are a kiddo. Although I still consider myself a kiddo at 18, I don’t need the joy of gifts to be happy for the holidays.

So, Santa, go be awesome for other little kiddos.

Love,

Taya

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.
