The Best Holiday Movies To Watch

I think there is one thing almost everyone can agree on: they love watching ABC Family's 25 Days of Christmas. I'll admit, I love watching Christmas movies just as much as anyone else. However, there are several holiday movies that ABC Family just didn't put in their lineup this year that I think should have been, and others we could have done without. I have compiled a list of all of the best holiday movies, some of which are a part of the 25 Days of Christmas Line up, and some which are not!

1. "Richie Rich's Christmas Wish"

This one is such a great movie. Not only is it a good Christmas movie, but it teaches kids a life lesson about not acting spoiled and not taking your life for granted because there are less fortunate people out there.

2. "How The Grinch Stole Christmas"

I prefer the live action film, but the animated one is still a classic as well.

3. "The Mistle-tones"

Tia Mowry and Tori Spelling are in competing musical groups and try to sing in the mall Christmas pageant. It's real intense and there is a lot of singing involved, so obviously it's a great time.

4. "The Santa Clause"

Tim Allen turns into Santa Clause in this heartwarming film. It's on ABC Family about 70 times during the month of December, so it's almost impossible for you not to see it at least once.

5. "Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer"

In my opinion, this is one of the best animated Christmas movies. Unfortunately it is not a part of the 25 Days line up.

6. "Home Alone"

This movie taught me how to stay safe from intruders as a child. Always a good thing to know.

7. The Classics

I'm talking about Rudolph, Frosty, and all of the really old classic Christmas movies. They never go out of style, even though they are really old and have weird animation.

8. "Elf"

Who doesn't love "Elf?" It's so quotable, and by the time Christmas finally comes, I know I will have quoted it at least 100 times.

9. "The Ultimate Christmas Present"

A DCOM (Disney Channel Original Movie) throwback. I always looked forward to watching this when I was younger.

10. "A Christmas Story"

Would it even be Christmas if you didn't watch "A Christmas Story" on TBS for 24 hours straight?

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.
