The 10 Best Holiday Movies To Watch This Season
Ariel Dumont

Everybody has their favorite holiday movie and will watch it at least 4 times during the season. This list may be somewhat biased since I am the biggest fan of Home Alone and Home Alone 2. I grew up in a family who basically ran on the holiday season. Everybody would come home and celebrate together. I know it is only November but it is never too early to start watching Christmas movies.

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

Every year watching this as a child all you could think was, "what if that was me?". I mean honestly it is a horrible concept that his parents forgot him at home but it made a great movie! KEVIN!

2.Elf

Everybody's favorite elf around the season. Full of fun, laughter, syrup and burps! Gotta love Buddy the Elf!

3.National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation

One of the funniest movies to watch during the season that shows the true feelings around the holidays from the stress and the beaming joy. Clark Griswold, you are my hero.

4.Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole Christmas

Between the cuteness of little Cindy Loo Who and the hysterical Grinch, this movie is a classic. Every time after I watch this I find myself wishing I lived in Whoville.

5. A Christmas Story

"You'll shoot your eye out", enough said.

6. Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer

One of the first Christmas movies I watched and to this day will continue watching it around the holiday season.

7. Frosty the Snowman

Frosty the Snowman was a hit back then and is still a hit according to my nephew who watches it and sings it year round.

8. Polar Express

Does not matter how old you are, by the end of this movie you will believe and might even shed a tear or two.

9. The Santa Clause

Such a good movie for kids and adults. You will laugh and you will cry, but I cry at everything so maybe that is just me. It is a definite watch this holiday season!

10. A Charlie Brown Christmas

"An oldie but a goodie", Charlie Brown Christmas never fails to make someone happy. Don't lie, you shed a tear at Linus' speech every year.

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.

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.
