Top Ten Christmas Movies
Enduring All Things

Christmas is coming up, folks! It's time to bundle up and take it easy for a while. There are so many Christmas movies that you can watch, but I've done my research and I've come up with the top ten Christmas movies you should watch this holiday season.

10. "Frosty the Snowman"

This classic cartoon from 1969 makes the list for its classic songs and its happy-go-lucky mood. It's pretty easy to fall into the holiday spirit with Frosty as your guide.

9. "The Year Without a Santa Claus"

This one's a personal favorite of mine. I remember watching it on a VCR when I was a kid. The Heat Miser and Snow Miser are some of my favorite characters of any movie, let alone Christmas ones. It's a great movie that everyone should see because it's a hidden gem amongst classic Christmas movies.

8. "A Charlie Brown Christmas"

Speaking of classics, here is your Charlie Brown holiday movie that we all love to watch. Join Charlie and the gang to celebrate Christmas this year.

7. "Rudolph the Red-Nose Reindeer"

Since people call me Yukon Cornelius when I have a beard, I should mention this Christmas movie. It's another classic but still lives up today. I especially appreciate the banter between Yukon and the Abominable Monster. If you like elves, reindeer, and other cute animals here's one for you.

6. "A Christmas Story"

I think this movie grows on you as you get older. A lot of the jokes are meant for adults, or at least I never quite got them as a kid. It's certainly a great movie to watch, as it teaches you not to lick a frozen pole, firearm safety, and not to curse in front of your parents. I find new jokes I missed the year before. Give it a watch.

5. "Home Alone"

Do you like wacky robbers, oblivious adults, and a clever little kid? Me too. So sit back, relax, and watch the madness unfold.

4. "Die Hard"

You're damn right it's a Christmas movie. While you're feeling nice and cozy with those Christmas classics, here's one to shake things up. There's nothing like Bruce Willis killing Germans to put me into the holiday spirit.

3. "Elf"

You know why it's on this list. For some of you, you're wondering why it's not number one, but it's up against stiff competition so don't you worry.

2. "How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000)"

Jim Carrey is a genius. This is my favorite Christmas movie comedy. Carrey is hilarious and you'll be laughing so hard you won't have to work off the turkey.

1. "It's A Wonderful Life"

Hands down, one of the best movies ever made. Watch this one if you watch any on this list. It will make you laugh, it will make you cry, and it will make you thankful and happy during this Christmas.

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.

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.
