Have yourself a Merry Little Birthday.

5 Things Everyone Born Around The Holidays Absolutely Loves

If you were born between December and January 1, you know how your birthday/Christmas season plays out. The music, the decorations, the food, the parties - all good spirit until they threaten to overrun your own personal holiday. As a holiday baby, I would like to take a moment to recognize a couple things I and other holiday babies just love about this time of year.

1. Our Finest Gifts We Bring.

Oh yes, we love the combined Christmas-birthday gift. Wrap it in Christmas wrapping paper with a birthday card? Fantastic. Put 'em under the tree too. Let's combine "Merry Christmas" and "Happy Birthday" into "Merry Birthmas" while we're at it.

2. What Child is This?

Oh yeah, my birthday is important, it's the day I was brought into the world. But don't let it take away from the guy who's birthday is a national holiday. Or that other guy in the red suit.

3. Deck The Halls.

Christmas party after Christmas party after holiday bash after New Year's Eve Ball after New Year's party. Your January 1 birthday party? June 30.

4. Pass Around the Coffee and the Pumpkin Pie.

Pumpkin pie for my birthday cake? Why not. Champagne? ...Okay, yeah, that one's fine.

5. Should Auld Acquaintance Be Forgot?

"I'm so sorry I forgot your birthday in all the holiday madness!"

All sarcasm aside, in the end, all we really want is a little separation between our day of birth and the chaos of the holidays. If you know someone born around this time, tell them "Happy birthday," get them two gifts and always offer to at least have dinner with them to show that you remembered. Because a cake that says "Happy Birthday to you and Jesus!" kinda takes away from your special day.

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.
