Christmas means Christmas movies. And Christmas movies mean cheesy Hallmark Christmas movies, at least to me and my family. While the classics like "White Christmas" and "A Christmas Story" are awesome, I love Hallmark Christmas movies.

When you watch a Hallmark Christmas movie you never expect to like it, you think, "Oh, this is kind of cheesy," but inevitably you get sucked in. I don't know what it is about them, but I always have to see how they end and I always leave satisfied.

If you have never watched a Hallmark Christmas movie before, take a look at this starter list and if you have, take a look back at some of your old favorites.

1. "Matchmaker Santa"

Dumb title, great movie. This is my sister's favorite Christmas movie. Basically, this girl is on the way to meet her boyfriend's family for Christmas but gets stuck in this small town with her boyfriend's best friend. Also, it has Lacey Chabert and any movie with her is great.

2. "Northpole"

This one is different from a normal Hallmark Christmas movie because it has magic and a real Santa. Of course, having her son's teacher as the love interest makes it fit the mold.

3. "A December Bride"

A fake fiancee movie. How much more do I need to say? Basically, this girl's cousin steals her fiancee and then she has to go to the wedding. While there the guy blurts out that they are engaged. The cousin sucks but you're supposed to like her for some reason, but overall an A+ movie.

4. "12 Gifts of Christmas"

Fun movie about a workaholic dude who hires someone to do all his Christmas shopping for him.

5. "A Princess for Christmas"

High key any Christmas movie that has a prince in it is pretty great, just saying.

6. "The Sweetest Christmas"

Another Lacey Chabert movie. Plus you love to hate her boyfriend from the beginning of the movie. Also, I've already watched this one twice this year.

7. "Hitched for the Holidays"

Another fake dating movie. This one is fun though because the guy is Catholic and the girl is Jewish.

8. "Enchanted Christmas"

Okay, this one is basically on the list solely because Carlos from Big Time Rush is in it. And the main girl is the girl from Spy Kids. And they are actually married in real life.

9. "A Bramble House Christmas"

This one has all the basics of a good Hallmark Christmas movie. Single mother. Moving to a new town. Huge secret that causes a big problem. Ice skating. Making Christmas cookies. What more could you want?

10. "Hearts of Christmas"

This one is fun because the main character works in a hospital which is different. But is not fun because the conflict is a misunderstanding.

11. "Once Upon a Holiday"

The story of a runaway princess and the guy who helps her (even though he has no clue she's a princess).

12. "A Christmas Melody"

Since we started the list with Lacey Chabert, it only makes sense that we end with her too. Plus Mariah Carrey is in this movie.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.
