Around this time of year, people tend to flip on their television and see plenty of Christmas movies. This list will be the Top 5 must watch Christmas movies this holiday season:

5. The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)

This Halloween inspired Christmas movie is certainly an outlier compared to traditional Christmas movies, but certainly, has been known to bring joy to many. On the movie critic website Rotten Tomatoes, "The Nightmare Before Christmas" received the stellar rating of 94%. If you want to watch a classic Christmas movie but don't want the traditional type of movie, this is the movie for you.

4. Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (1964)

On the opposite side of the spectrum from the first movie on the last, "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" is a classic Christmas movie that all of us have seen at one time or another. This movie tells the tale of Rudolph, a reindeer not accepted by the rest for the color of his nose. This wonderful movie scored a 92% on the Rotten Tomatoes scale.

3. Home Alone (1990)

"Home Alone" is a movie that nearly every person in the United States has seen. It is a comedy about a young boy in a big family who has been left behind. Robbers attempt to invade his house, but he shoots back with many enjoyable jokes and pranks. Unfortunately, Rotten Tomatoes seems to hate this movie, giving it a 55% .

2. Elf (2003)

"Elf" is one of the most comedic movies of all time and is certainly near the top of the list for Christmas movies. Buddy the Elf ventures from the North Pole to New York City to meet his real father. The movie is filled with twists and hilarious turns at every corner. Rotten Tomatoes awards this movie an 84%, which is a very low mark for such a fantastic movie.

1. A Christmas Story (1983)

"A Christmas Story" is most certainly my favorite Christmas movie of all time and should certainly be everyone's favorite. This movie plays back to back the entirety of Christmas Day in my household. Any pictures ever taken will show this movie in the background and for good reason. If you are ever bored it could never hurt to throw this movie on. Unjustly, the movie scores an 89% on Rotten Tomatoes, despite the 100% it has truly earned.

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.
