My Top 10 Favorite Christmas Movies
History Channel

Since 2003, my family has watched "Elf" every year before Christmas. It's just tradition. The Christmas season brings people together and what better way to do that than with a Christmas movie. While everyone has their favorite movie, I'm here to share with you my top 10 favorite Christmas movies.

1. Elf

Bye Buddy! Hope you find your Dad! Buddy the Elf, what's your favorite color? The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear.

2. Home Alone

Oh, Kevin McCallister...you clever kid you. You gotta give the kid props...he's pretty smart.

3. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation

I only wish my house could look like that.

4. The Holiday

I can't help but watch this movie for Jude Law and Jude Law only. He's perfect, especially with those glasses.

5. How the Grinch Stole Christmas

If the Grinch isn't me, then I don't know who is. I relate to him on such a spiritual level. Take that back...college students relate to him way more.

6. The Santa Clause

Scott Calvin or Santa Clause? I got to say, this movie is actually way better than I remember it being when I was younger. Tim Allen looks so good...

7. Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer

Such a classic. If you don't appreciate Rudolph, then I don't appreciate you.

8. Polar Express

That's all I want when Christmas comes to town.

9. Frosty the Snowman

I wonder what happened to that old top hat the children found. Another classic. Can't ever go wrong with Frosty.

10. White Christmas

Although it's an old movie, no one else can sing White Christmas like Bing Crosby. His voice just makes you melt.

While I still enjoy other Christmas movies, here are a few honorable mentions: Christmas with the Kranks, It's a Wonderful Life, Miracle on 34th Street, any Hallmark Christmas movie, and any movie played during Freeform's 25 Days of Christmas.

There you have it, these were my top 10 all-time favorite Christmas movies. If you haven't seen some of the one's I mentioned, I highly recommend watching them! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from my family to your's!

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.
