Everyone has something they are obsessed with and for me, that's Christmas! Some people think I'm crazy with how obsessed I am with Christmas, but if you stop and think about it, there are many reasons to absolutely love Christmas. There are so many reasons to love Christmas, and why it's not just all about the getting. Here are my reasons why I believe Christmas is so amazing!

1. The Meaning

In today's world we get so caught up in the commercialization of Christmas. We think it's all about all about the presents, and while the presents are nice there is so much more to the holiday. Christmas is supposed the be about celebrating the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. If it wasn't for Him we wouldn't have been saved from ourselves. I'd say that's something to celebrate.

2. The Lights

This time of year one of the most fun things to do is drive around and see all of the lights. People spend so much time on the decorations and light. When you look at all of it there is something magical about it. The lights are so amazing and beautiful.

3. The Smell

People look at me funny all the time when I say this, but Christmas has a specific smell. It's like a combination of gingerbread, pine needles, and cinnamon. When I smell that Christmas smell it makes me all warm, cozy, and happy.

4. Coming together

Christmas is the one time of the year that families try to come together. This is the time of year that family members will see each other, and not have seen each other for a long time. It's nice that everyone comes together to spend time together, and catch up.

5. Giving Back

As I was saying earlier the presents are nice, but one of my favorite parts is the giving back. There is something about the holiday season that just seems to put people in better moods, and they give back more. I love giving back because just seeing the joy and happiness on people's faces warms my heart and gives me joy.

Christmas is the best holiday ever. There are so many reasons that Christmas is so amazing, and these are just a few reasons. But the most important thing to remember about the Christmas season is that it isn't just about the getting. Remember there are more important reasons to love Christmas.

AI music threatens creativity

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.
