The Ultimate Christmas Movie List For This Year
Odyssey

To me, Christmas movies are a staple piece of the holiday season. Granted, I have seen every Christmas movie a thousand times, but I still like being able to watch the same movies over and over. I've noticed that it puts me in the Christmas spirit more than anything else does. Here my top 11 holiday movies to put you in the Christmas spirit this year.

1. How The Grinch Stole Christmas

Personally, I am a sucker for the real life version of The Grinch. Not only can we relate to the grinch (sometimes), but the movie shows us that Christmas is much more about love and kindness than hate.

2. Elf

Elf is the funniest Christmas movie I think I have ever seen. It makes me laugh ever single time I watch it. My friends and I continue to quote the movie very frequently.

3. The Santa Clause movies

Tim Allen is probably the best Santa Clause ever. I watch every single Santa Clause movie in a row the week before Christmas.

4. Christmas with the Kranks

Although Tim Allen is not Santa in this movie, he is hilarious. It shows us that one simply does not skip Christmas.

5. Home Alone movies

We grew up with the Home Alone movies since we were children. They will always be a timeless classic and therefore, is a perfect addition to this year's Christmas movie list.

6. A Christmas Carol

This can be a very powerful movie to watch. The beginning of the movie can be a little somber, however, it leaves you in the Christmas spirit.

7. Frosty The Snowman

Many people think this movie is strictly for children, but it is also for adults. Whenever I watch this movie, it puts me in a happy mood.

8. Rudolph The Red Nose Reindeer

Probably the most popular of every Christmas movie. There are thousands of stories based off of this movie. It is a must see this Christmas!

9. The Christmas Story


This classic movie will be sure to make you laugh this holiday season! It continues to make me laugh every time I watch it.

10. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation

This movie is probably the perfect depiction of Christmas decorating. It is a struggle, but once it's done, it's magnificent. This movie is a big hit in my family.

11. The Polar Express

Last, but not least! The Polar Express movie always gets my family and me in the Christmas mood. We have to watch this every single year.

These are my favorite movies to watch every single year. I hope you enjoy my favorite Christmas movies as much as I do. Have a very Merry 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.

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.
