What Do You Love About Christmas?

For some it is family, food, presents, or where they spend it.

Now that Christmas is here, you might wonder what people love about it. For some, it might be hanging out with their family, eating the food, giving or receiving presents, or where they spend it. But, for me, Christmas is about thanking the people I have in my life and all the amazing things that we get to do together.

Family

The holidays are typically spent with your family or friends and it's them who make it the best. Spending time with the people you love makes everything fun. To always have a good time, always spend the holidays with those that you care about the most!

Food

Families from everywhere have many different types of foods during the holidays. The traditional Mexican meals at my house are tamales, pozole, ponche, or mole. Whatever traditional holiday meals that you eat, enjoy it! Your friends and family make it with lots of love and you should be thankful for it, especially those amazing desserts! Eat lots of food and be happy!

Movies

I love that during the holidays there's always special movies specifically for each holiday. Some Christmas classic movies are Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Love Actually, Elf, Home Alone, A Charlie Brown Christmas, The Family Stone, and many more! These are all great movies to watch while you cuddle up with a soft blanket and some hot chocolate!

Music

I know many people that love to sing Christmas music. Some love to start right after Thanksgiving ends and then there are people that could sing Christmas music all year long! Whatever time of the year you love to sing Christmas music, it can be very catchy! Just take some time to listen to some of the songs: I'll be Home for Christmas, Santa Baby, A Holly Jolly Christmas, and more.

Snow

Snow looks very pretty, especially for people who have never been in snow before! One of my roommates is from California, so she had never been in snow before. Once it snowed, she thought it was beautiful, but it was just too cold. It's amazing to wake up and see how great the snow looks when it's falling just remember to layer up before you go out!

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.
