Why Christmas Season Is The BEST Season

'Tis the season to be jolly, y'all.

Why Christmas Season Is The BEST Season

It's upon us again, that stretch from November until Dec. 25, the season in which giving is encouraged, trees are decorated and cheer is spread. It's Christmas Season.

Christmas is, in my opinion, the best Holiday of them all, and here is why: 

Peppermint EVERYTHING
Peppermint is the official taste of Christmas. If you could take a bite of Christmas, there is no doubt it would taste just like a peppermint candy cane. Christmas season means Chick-fil-A peppermint milkshakes, Starbucks Peppermint mocha, and Peppermint bark, and of course, Candy Canes. Peppermint flavored anything and everything help make Christmas season unique and tasty, too. 

Christmas Music
As much as you may pretend to dislike Christmas music, there is no denying that deep, deep down, the sound of "The Christmas Song" or "Santa Claus is Coming To Town" resonates something within you. The catchy lyrics and beats have been with us since childhood, and they are the reason for Christmas carols. Buddy the elf says it best when he proclaims, "The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear." Christmas music is only acceptable for a very limited period of time within the year, and it is part of what makes Christmas season so great. 

Giving
Christmas Season is a time where it is totally acceptable to give and give and give some more. It is a chance to celebrate the people you love by thoughtfully choosing out something that will make their face light up, come Christmas morning. It's a time to show people you appreciate them, and to practice selflessness.

Traditions
Christmas traditions are part of what make Christmas season the absolute greatest. For each family, it's different. Maybe it's decorating the tree together, or driving around to see the best Christmas lights in town, or it could be snuggling up to watch Christmas Vacation (for the 10th year in a row) or it could be stealing a kiss with your special someone under the mistletoe, but whatever it is, it's a tradition that is unique to Christmas season. The traditions create memories that will be remembered when we have families of our own someday. 

So don't let this Christmas season pass you by. It's easy to let it slip away through the hustle and bustle of Christmas sales and Hallmark movie marathons, but it's a season to be merry, to be jolly and cheerful. It's a season to celebrate. So dress up like an elf, play Christmas music until your ears bleed and recite "Elf" until it's finally Dec. 25.

And, Have yourself a merry little Christmas.

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.
