Christmas is just around the corner, and that means warm fireplaces, nicely wrapped gifts and of course, the best movies of any season. Each family has their traditional Christmas movie that everyone watches together all snuggled up with fuzzy socks and hot chocolate. Even with your family movie, here are the top 5 best Christmas pre-game movies everyone should watch at least once before the holiday season is over.

1. White Christmas

An original classic filled with romance, humor, and of course snow. Based off of the story of two army friends, you follow them as they travel to Vermont (unexpectedly), chase after two beautiful girls, and put on the show of a life time. This beautifully done musical will make your heart swell with happiness, and if you're like my mom, you'll want to watch it at least 8 times a day.

2. Elf

The best and funniest Christmas movie to date. Based on the story of an adopted elf, Buddy, you watch his adventure as he leaves the North Pole to find his real dad in New York City. He's awkward, a little too honest, and he has a sweet-tooth like no other. This hilarious film is good for all ages and is perfect for a cold, snowy night in.

3. Home Alone

This sassy and heart-warming movie will either make you extremely value your family, or become a master schemer. A classic film with an incredible cast and a hilarious story with fun twists will leave your family laughing so hard.

4. The Grinch Who Stole Christmas

Whether it's the animated or the live action version, no one can go wrong with a Dr. Seuss classic. This sweet family movie can make anyone smile with it's cute moral story and it's funny characters. The magically inventive world can make anyone excited and ready for Christmas.

5. The Nightmare Before Christmas

Last but so not least, the all time claymation classic for every generation. The best part is this movie can be watched through Halloween until Christmas. Jack Skellington just wants to make the world a spooky place, and understand what Christmas is. This stunningly beautiful movie is cute and adorable and really shows what Christmas is about.

Even though these were just 5 of the hundreds of Christmas movies, these are (100% bias) the best ones out there. From funny to emotional, these movies span it all. The characters are lovable, the stories are wonderful and best of all, they bring out the best part of Christmas.

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.

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.
