'Tis The Season
Thomas Kinkade

There's always a huge debate about when Christmas actually begins. For some people Christmas begins on November 1st, for some it begins after Thanksgiving, and some people like to celebrate year round! November 1st is when I like to begin celebrating. November 1st starts the beginning of my favorite season... the Holiday Season! To me, the Holiday Season includes Thanksgiving and Christmas! Here's five things I love about this season!

1. Christmas sweaters.

Nothing makes me happier than getting invited to an ugly sweater party. I love putting on one of my many sweaters and then making it even tackier by adding some colorful eyeshadow or red lipstick or a fun accessory.


2. Baked Goods!
This past weekend I made my first gingerbread house! I don't know why it took me 21 years before I actually made one but I'm so happy I did! I also baked some sugar cookies with icing and peppermint this weekend. Nothing gets me more excited for Christmas than baking!



3. Spending Time with Family

I love spending time with my family! The holiday season means that I am home for a week for Thanksgiving and then almost a month for Christmas! This time of year I love going on fun outings with my mom and dad and brother and then I love spending time with my extended family during Thanksgiving and Christmas!



4. Christmas Music

I LOVE Christmas music! As soon as it becomes November my Spotify becomes all Christmas music all the time. I have been known to listen to Christmas music even before November. There's just something about Christmas music that makes me so happy!


5. The Kindness of the Season

Around this time you always see people going out of their way to help others. I think angel trees are such wonderful things! I love how people are always so willing to help each other! ''Tis the season for giving!


November to New Years is my favorite season! I love everything about it, except when it ends! It's the most wonderful time of the year!!!

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

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.
