Top 6 Christmas Movies

As of November 25, it is now socially acceptable for me to focus on the greatest holiday: Christmas. For me, this means eating holiday treats, wearing the best holiday sweaters, listening to those addictive holiday songs, and most importantly watching some of the greatest movies. Growing up, I remember only watching holiday movies on Christmas Eve with my sisters, lucky for me I watch these movies much earlier and throughout the month of December. This is a list of six of the best Christmas movies.

1. Elf

Typically, I am a fan of any Will Ferrell movie as he is a comedic genius, but this one, in particular, is one of my favorites. It always makes me laugh and puts me in the holiday spirit.

2. Best Man Holiday

This is not a "classic" favorite holiday movie, but I will watch it a few times throughout December. It makes me laugh, smile, and cry every single time and it makes for an all around great film.

3. The Polar Express

Animated movies always make me feel like a kid again and there is no better time to feel that way than at Christmas time. Everyone young and old should watch this at least once.

4. The Santa Clause

I am a fan of all three movies in this series, but this one will always hold a special place in my life. Everything about it is so realistic and makes me believe in the magic that surrounds this time of year.

5. The Grinch Who Stole Christmas

I remember when I was younger people would tell me I reminded them of Cindy Lou Who, but I'm not very sure why. I guess it stuck, though, because this movie is one of my favorites and I find myself watching it even when it isn't Christmas.

6. A Christmas Story

For as long as I live I will probably never get the scene of Flick getting his tongue stuck on that telephone pole, and for that reason alone this movie made my list.

Every single holiday movie out there, makes me fall in love with Christmas all over again and, to me, that makes these movies pretty special. I hope you enjoy your holiday season and watch each of these movies at least once.

P.S There are so many other great holiday movies out there.

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.
