What Christmas Is Like For A Seven Year Old
Maia Rogers

I know what Christmas means to most of us today, and everyone celebrates Christmas in different ways. Christmas is usually a child's favorite holiday, and they count down the days until Santa arrives. They open advents made of chocolate that count down the days until the 25th of December. Some kids celebrate Hanukkah or Kwanzaa, but the month of December brings happiness and fun for people of all ages. I decided to interview my little sister, Heaven, on what Christmas means to her and other questions relating to the holiday. Here are her responses.


Q: What is Christmas?

A: "A holiday about people who spend time with each other. It's when people get a lot of presents."

Q: What does Santa look like?

A: "His suit is red, he has a belt, and boots. He's nice and has a white beard."

Q: What's your favorite part of Christmas?

A: "Opening presents with my family and having people over."

Q: What's your favorite Christmas memory?

A: "Having mommy over and opening Tauna's gift. I also liked having fun with everyone"

Q: Do you hope it snows on Christmas?

A: "Yes." (Duh)

Q: Favorite Christmas Movie?

A: "Rudolf the Red Nose Reindeer and Olive the Other Reindeer."

Q: What is your favorite Christmas song?

A: "My Only Christmas Wish by Pentatonix"

Q: What don't you like about Christmas?

A: "Nothing."

Q: What presents did you ask for?

A: "Hatchimals and Shopkins: Girls."

Q: Did you help make anyone's Christmas better this year?

A: "I told my friend Mariah that she doesn't need to be sad on Christmas when she doesn't get what she wants. She normally doesn't."

Q: What would you change about the holiday?

A: "It should be celebrated in January because that is when my birthday is."

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.

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.
