These are my top 5 favorite Christmas movies, with #5 being my favorite.

The Polar Express

Even though some would consider this Christmas classic to be a children's movie, that is not the case. With this movie being based on a children's novel, It is the perfect family Christmas movie. Even though this movie was released in 2004, I'm sure the 90's and early 2000's kids remember this movie playing on repeat on ABC Family. In this classic, a young boy travels by train to the north pole where he discovers the importance of always believing.

The Santa Clause

All 3 of these movies are a must watch. Most trilogies of movies usually get worse and worse, but this is not the case with these movies. When Scott accidentally knocks Santa off of his roof, he is required by Santa's head elf that he must become the next Santa Clause. When Scott soon enjoys his new persona, he decides that he truly loves his new job at the North Pole.

How the Grinch Stole Christmas

Giphy

There have been several remakes of this movie in the past, but the one with Jim Carrey is by far the best. Along with his cute dog sidekick, Max, The Grinch tries to ruin Christmas for the citizens of Whoville. The Grinch soon changes his plan when he realizes the true meaning of Christmas. This movie, almost 20 years after its release, is still a Christmas family classic.

Elf

Not only is this Christmas classic one of my favorites, it teaches you multiple lessons. For example, Buddy the Elf not only teaches you the meaning of Christmas, but he also teaches you to not eat the yellow snow, not to eat chewed gum, and how to properly eat spaghetti. This movie follows Buddy the Elf and his embarkment to New York City to find his dad. Buddy realizes the city isn't like he thought it would be, and teaches people that the meaning of Christmas is not only believing, but also singing loud for all to hear.

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation

This Christmas movie is my all-time favorite Christmas movie. "Christmas Vacation" is one of those movies that you can watch over and over, and can also be watched at anytime throughout the year. When Clark Griswold wants a perfect Christmas for his family, he tries his hardest to make sure that happens. With a few bumps in the road, it quickly leads to chaos. But between cousin Eddy's efforts to get Clark his Christmas bonus, and Aunt Bethany's cat food jello, it turns into a family Christmas they will never forget.

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.
