The countdown begins.

Only 6 days left until the big day.

Which means you have only about 144 hours remaining to fit in every single feel-good, laugh-out-loud, merry-and-bright Christmas film before you have to wait until next year.

Do you have what it takes?

Here are the Top 22 Christmas movies for the ultimate Christmas movie marathon.

You better get started.


1. Elf

Because let's be honest; you've quoted it at least 5 times this season.


2. Home Alone

When calling 911 during a house invasion doesn't work, just throw some marbles on the floor and tar on the steps. Works every time.


3. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation

You think your relatives are bad? Just remember their cousin emptied his RV's septic tank into the storm sewer and then their grandfather lit a cigar over it.



4. The Santa Clause

Don't worry, Tim. We've all looked in the mirror after those Christmas cookies and jiggled our little Santa tummy.


5. Love Actually

When you need all the feels. And Hugh Grant.


6. The Holiday

The one where one of Charlie's Angels gets together with Dr. Watson from Sherlock Holmes, and Rose from the Titanic matches with that teacher from School of Rock.


7. Die Hard

Yes, it's a Christmas movie!


8. It's A Wonderful Life

Because everything's just better in black and white.

9. White Christmas

The original High School Musical.


10. Polar Express

Where Tom Hanks voices, well...everyone.

Other great Christmas films to squeeze in before you-know-who squeezes his way down the chimney.

11. Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer

12. Four Christmases

13. Fred Claus

14. Arthur Christmas

15. A Charlie Brown Christmas

16. Miracle on 34th Street

17. A Christmas Story

18. The Christmas Shoes

19. A Madea Christmas

20. How the Grinch Stole Christmas

21. Deck the Halls

22. The Nativity

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.

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.
