Where Is The Grinch? A Letter To FreeForm About Their 25 Days Of Christmas Schedule

Dear FreeForm,

You have recently released the line-up for your 25 Days of Christmas. This is one of my favorite events every year, and I look forward to it the day after 13 Nights of Halloween ends. However, I noticed something about this years line-up and I'm sure I am not the only person that is very concerned about it. I would like to know why How the Grinch Stole Christmas is not on that list. To add to that question, why is Disney's Frozen included, not just once but twice. Don't get me wrong I love Frozen just as much as everyone else, but it is not in ANY way a Christmas movie.

However, Dr. Seuss's How the Grinch Stole Christmas is not the only holiday favorite that is missing this year. Looking at previous years' countdown to Christmas, I've noticed that there are a lot of holiday movies that you have decided to leave out. Let's take a look at a previous year's schedule and compare it to this year.

If you'll notice, The Santa Clause 3: Escape Clause is missing along with Home Alone, Fred Claus, and Miracle on 34th Street. I even followed the link to view the full schedule thinking "maybe they just aren't showing them during prime time hours" but no, much to my disappointment none of these movies are playing AT ALL. The title of this year's countdown is "Celebrating 20 years of Christmas Cheer!" but you have removed almost ALL of the classic Christmas movies from the schedule. Don't worry though, I'm sure we will all get into the Christmas spirit while watching Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas, which is one of my favorite movies. However, I think I also just saw it in the line-up for the 13 Nights of Halloween. Call me petty but I don't think this ever would've happened when you were still called ABC Family. I'm expecting better for next year.

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

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.
