Christmas brings the child out of all of us, but some things stay in childhood.  Here are 10 things we did as kids for Christmas.

Circling all the toys you wanted in the toy catalog

Which was everything

Finding your teacher the PERFECT gift

This will show her how much you love her.

Meeting Santa to tell him what you REALLY want for Christmas

The emotions of being excited and nervous at the same time because this was serious.

Decorating the tree and placing each ornament...

All in the same space on the bottom of the tree, but Mom would fix it.

Watching all the Christmas specials, specifically Charlie Brown Christmas

A long with Rudolph and The Santa Clause 

Practicing your songs for your Christmas musical everywhere

EVERYWHERE cause they were stuck in your head

Your Class Christmas party was the most fun

Getting to eat junk food and play fun games with your friends

Looking at all the Christmas Lights like...

In all the lights shining glory.

Asking your parents each day if it is almost Christmas

Each day your excitement would build

Waking up on Christmas morning seeing all the presents

And waking up your parents before the sun came out, but it was Christmas

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.
