Five Things To Watch During Christmas

Christmas TV specials are apart of what makes the holiday season entertaining. I watch TV movies and shows for the laughs and nostalgia of the past. Here is my list of five films and TV specials to watch at Christmas time.

5. An All Dogs Christmas Carol. I watch this animated film during the holiday season in memory of the times my mom would put the video in the DVR for me as a child. Also, an dog lover will appreciate the film. I am sure it will remind you of your childhood dogs.

4. The Santa Clause. I've watched this movie at least once for as long as I can remember around Christmas time. Every time I see it Tim Allen still has me laughing at his portrayal of jolly ol St. Nick. He plays the role well balancing humor and a serious tone.

3. Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Jim Carrey and his out of the world personality makes this movie a must for the holiday season. Even if Carrey's performance doesn't make the movie worth your while, simply seeing the actors and actresses dressed in Dr. Seuss form should earn a laugh.

2. Family Guy. If you enjoy Seth MacFarland's satirical and sometimes dark humor, two Family Guy Christmas episodes are sure toe entertain. "Jesus, Mary, & Joseph" the eighth episode of the eleventh season tells the Nativity Story with a Family Guy spin. And in season nine, episode seven, "The Road to the North Pole" tells the story of Santa and his workshop in a new light.

1. Elf. This movie released in 2003 tells the story of a human raised by elves. It is wonderfully funny as Will Ferrell plays the naive Buddy the Elf. The situations he gets himself into while learning human culture are sure to bring you laughs during the holiday season.

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

Why AI-Generated Music Threatens Human 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.

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.
