Christmas: it's the most wonderful time of the year. There is a certain spirit in the air once it is the day after Thanksgiving. People seem to be happier. The streets have a different glow about them. And everything just seems to be better.

There are many reasons as to why I love Christmas. One is the whole atmosphere of Christmas time. I love how people seem happier to see one another. I love how the music in the air is music that nearly everyone knows and sings along to. I love the repeat movies that play over and over on television. It just brings a certain happiness and content among me. It's like a seasonal happiness. One that only the Christmas season can bring.

Another reason I love Christmas time is the memories it brings. Whether they are memories from when you were five or they are memories waiting to happen. Everyone has memories from Christmas. It could be that you remember getting that doll when you six. It could be that you remember getting your first car when you were sixteen. It could be that you remember how much you love that one aunt's green bean casserole or that dessert your cousin makes. Christmas is a time for memories to be made after all.

Another reason I love the Christmas season is the reason we have it. The reason we have it is the most important reason of all. We celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. A lot of people tend to forget that and focus more on the gifts. But it is a time when we should come together to celebrate Jesus's birth. I remember being in the church's play of the story of Jesus. It is one of my fondest memories of Christmas time.

I love Christmas. There is no doubt about it. And there are tons of reasons to love it. Everyone has their own, and that is what makes Christmas time so amazing.

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.
