My Top 5 Favorite Christmas Movies

It's not Christmas until I've watched these movies.

One of my favorite parts of the Christmas season is all of the great movies that go along with it. I love grabbing myself a hot mug of cider, snuggling with my puppies and turning on a classic. Though "classic" might be different for both of us, here are my top five Christmas movies I need to watch every year:

5. 'Miracle on 34th Street'

This movie brings me back to spending the night at my Baba's house. My siblings and I would make homemade caramels with her, and she would put this movie on. If you need a Christmas spirit boost, this is a perfect movie for you. Are your little ones skeptical of Santa Clause? Put this movie on, and they'll have a different idea.

4. 'Home Alone'

Look at that face. You gotta see it sometime before Christmas day. I grew up watching this movie, like many others. If you're looking to laugh and also actually think about the meaning of Christmas, this movie needs to be on!

3. 'A Christmas Story'

I remember the first time I watched this movie. I was pretty young and my brother and sister would snuggle together and giggle at this movie. This movie also scarred me: I will never lick a frozen pole. Ever.

2. 'Elf'

OK, so this one is kind of obvious. I mean, Will Ferrell in tights? What's funnier than that? This is a movie that I have to watch each year. And it never gets old. Will Ferrell totally shines in this movie; he totally kills me with this character.

1. 'Home Alone 2: Lost in New York'

Am I the only one that thinks Home Alone 2 is better than the first? Might be. I don't care though. This movie is my all-time favorite Christmas movie. There's so many laughable moments in this one, not to mention I love New York... that might be a part of it. Every year, I watch this movie with my brother and sister, and we pretty much can recite the whole thing. It's not Christmas for me until I've seen this.

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.
