The Best Way To Spread Christmas Cheer Is Singing Loud For All To Hear
The Odyssey

I know its September, and this may get a lot of hate, but I love Christmas, and I celebrate it all year long. As I'm not a huge fan of Halloween, I usually decorate my apartment that day (unless I have Halloween plans), and I keep it up until after March Madness (April). Don't Judge Me! It's worked for me for 23 years so I'm not going to change now. In fact, I'm watching White Christmas right now! The worst day of the year for me is December 26 because all the magic for everyone else is gone...but not for me!

So I decided to put together a list of 25 reasons why Christmas is the best time of the year!

1. The Best Way To Spread Christmas Cheer Is Singing Loud For All To Hear.

2. ABC Family's (Freeform now) 25 Days of Christmas! The best 25 days of the year!

3. Hallmark Channel. Because these original movies are better than anything ABC Family has put out in years, and it goes from Mid November 'til January!

4. Lights! Christmas Lights are GORGEOUS!!!!

5. Christmas Music! Old and New...It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year!

6. Quoting Christmas Movies like Elf without getting weird looks.

7. Christmas Shopping can be stressful if you wait 'til the last minute or Black Friday. But the malls are amazing around that time!

8. Visiting the "A Christmas Story" House if you're in Cleveland, Ohio (Tremont).

9. Christmas Movies, like Home Alone.

10. Those incredible Christmas Displays that are huge and awesome in residential neighborhoods.

10. Or Amazing Christmas Window Displays like at the old Higbee Building in Downtown Cleveland!

11. SNOW!

12. Santa! I mean, who doesn't love the big guy in red?

13. The 4 main food groups: Candy, Candy Canes, Candy Corns and Syrup.

14. Baking, making, decorating and eating Christmas Cookies!

15. Christmas Parties! I know my whole family gets together for like, a 12 hours party every year! It's the best!

16. Presents, obviously! I mean they are so much fun!

17. Seeing friends and family that you don't get to see often. I mean, 'tis the season right?

18. The Winter Wardrobe is the best!!! Hats, Coats, Boots, Scarves, the whole nine yards.

19. Christmas Trees. Everywhere. The Bigger The Better!!

20. Leg Lamps....even if they are FRA-GIL-LAY

22. Christmas Smelling Things. MMMMMMM

23. Christmas Traditions...like mistletoe!

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.

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.
