Ten Movies You Must Watch This Christmas!
History.com

Christmas is by far one of the best times of the year. I love getting to have time off from work and school to spend time with loved ones and to celebrate my main man Jesus Christ! One of my favorite things to do during the Christmas season is watching Christmas movies! Here I have compiled a list of my top ten favorite Christmas movies (in no particular order) that you MUST watch this year!

1. How The Grinch Stole Christmas (2000, Jim Carrey Edition)

This is by far one of my favorite Jim Carrey movies. This is always one of the first movies I watch during the Christmas season, and I always make it a point to reference my mom as the Grinch while watching it.


2. Elf

“Santa! Oh, my God! Santa’s coming! I know him! I know him!” How could you not fall in love with Buddy the Elf? This light-hearted movie is sure to keep you smiling as you watch it. It's definitely one that we will make our own kids watch someday.


3. Annabelle's Wish

Okay, This is by far my all time favorite Christmas movie. It might quite possibly be my favorite movie ever. The heartwarming story of this little cow giving up her dreams to help her best friend will make you have all the feels! Oh, and let's not forget that Randy Travis narrates it, so, therefore, it's 100 times better tan any other movie.


4. Rudolph The Red Nose Reindeer (1964)

This is one of the more classical Christmas movies I like to watch from my collection. I love watching Rudolph make his debut as Santa's leading reindeer, and hey, it's pretty cute when he tries to control his glowing nose.


5. Holiday in Handcuffs

For romantic comedies, this is by far my favorite one to watch at Christmas. I mean come on, who wouldn't want to steal Mario Lopez and force him to be your fake boyfriend for a week?


7. Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas

This movie is actually a collection of three stories all relating to your favorite Mickey Mouse characters. All three of these stories offer us an eye-opening message. It's great for kids, but also still warms my heart as I watch it even as an adult.


8. A Madea Christmas

Hellur! How could you not love a movie that includes both Madea and Larry The Cable Guy celebrating Christmas together?


9. A Smokey Mountain Christmas

Okay, I have, to be honest, I mainly like this movie because Dolly sings Hard Candy Christmas in it, which is one of my favorite Christmas songs, but the storyline is really great too.


10. A Charlie Brown Christmas

Does this one really need an explanation? Everyone knows how much of a classic this Christmas movie is and if you haven't watched it, don' worry, because it's sure to come on tv at least once during the Christmas season.

AI music threatens creativity

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.
