The Meaning of the Holidays told by 90s Cartoons.
Erin Hinchey

90s cartoon are the foundation of my childhood. I still quote them to this day. When Christmas came around, every show had their own holiday/christmas special. I remember all of them being amazing and each of them had their own perspective on the Holidays. It was great and really got me excited for the holidays. So, here is the meaning of the Holidays told by your favorite 90s cartoons. Enjoy! :)

Spongebob Squarepants: "I didn't bring Christmas to Bikini Bottom, Spongebob; you did."

Santa Claus doesn't always need to be there to make Christmas great. It's about the people that spread the Christmas cheer that make it memorable.

Hey Arnold: "Christmas is special. It's about showing the people you are close to that you really care about them."

It's not about the money value of the presents you give. It's about the heart and love you put into them that shows your loved ones that you really care.

Rugrats: "You kids can keep your high tech Holiday hooblah. In my day, all you needed for Christmas was Bing Crosby, a comfy chair, and a hot cup of coco."

Christmas doesn't have to be all flashy, as long as you are with the people you love.

Fairly Odd Parents: "It isn't the gifts. It isn't the toys. It's the family and friends that I really enjoy."

Christmas is about the people you spend it with.

Pinky & The Brain: "Please take anything you have for me and give it to my best friend in the whole world, the Brain."

Christmas is about giving, not receiving.

Recess: "Just because you can't see something with your eyes or hear something with your ears, doesn't mean it's not real. Somethings exists in your heart."

Sometimes the things that can mean most to you can't be seen or heard. It's the things that make you all warm and fussy inside.


During the holidays, it may be hard to not get distracted by all the physical things and the flashy decorations. As you get older, you realize that it isn't always about the presents and decor. It is a lot about what you love in your heart and the people you care about. So no matter what holiday you celebrate, I hope you have a great one and show your loved ones that you care.

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.

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.
