My Top 5 Christmas Movies

Christmas movies are something I always look forward to and this year is no exception. With finals over and I am on now on break, I have enjoyed the Christmas classics to no end. Here are my top five favorites.

1. White Christmas

What can I say? This beautiful movie has enchanted me for years. The fact that it is a musical and a Christmas movie with endearing Bing Crosby, hilarious Danny Kaye, thoughtful Rosemary Clooney, and exuberant Vera-Ellen makes it my favorite holiday film of all time. I love watching the magical and enchanting scenes that are filled with songs, dances, and mischief.

2. It's A Wonderful Life

I have several happy memories associated with this one. From watching it on a quiet, frosty afternoon with my cousins to gathering around the fire and enjoying it with friends, I adore this special Jimmy Stewart classic. It is the perfect combination of humor, drama, and Christmas joy. The story of a man who wishes for adventure yet is restrained by duty is one that causes the viewer to think about the meaning of one's own life in a new way.

3. Miracle on 34th Street

This one, of course, is the best movie to watch to prove the existence of Santa Claus. Kris Kringle, the Santa Claus in this film, is amazing and an absolute dream come true. He is thoughtful, wise, funny, kind, and compassionate to all the poor lost souls who do not believe in the magic of Santa Claus and Christmas.

4. A Charlie Brown Christmas

Another staple from my childhood Christmases, A Charlie Brown Christmas is simply splendid with its flawed, human, and unforgettable characters and stories. Literally anyone can watch it and fall in love with it; it is not only for kids. I still watch it with my family at least one a year before Christmas. Plus, Snoopy steals the show with his awesome dancing.

5. Elf

Obviously, a list like this would not be complete without the movie treasure Elf. This hilarious and heartwarming Christmas comedy provides many joys and laughs. The elf Buddy definitely knows what to do for an adventurous and exciting day when he says,"First we'll make snow angels for two hours, then we'll go ice skating, then we'll eat a whole roll of Tollhouse cookie dough as fast as we can and then we'll snuggle."

These Christmas movies are some of my favorites and I hope that you can enjoy them as well. Merry Christmas!

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.
