What do you get someone for Christmas that already has everything or doesn't need anything?

This was a question my parents and a few family members asked me. Don't get me wrong there are things that I want for Christmas, but there's nothing I need. Also, I think a lot of times we forget what Christmas is all about. The true meaning of Christmas is to celebrate Christ's birth.

Jesus Christ gave us the best gift and that was laying his life down for us. So what better way to exemplify Christ's love for us than giving back to others. This Christmas I encourage you to give to those who aren't as fortunate as you.

If you are worried about not really having the funds you would like to help someone else; there are other options.

There are different ways you can give back without spending money.

You can go to the nursing home and just sit and talk to them.

Volunteer at a soup kitchen and help serve

Give Blood

Rake an elderly persons leaves

I encourage you to continue to give even after the holiday season is over. Giving your time or even if you have some extra income would mean so much to someone who needs it.

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:

If you are like me, you have an interesting personality. Basically, you love to be sassy and snarky, gossip, and act like a total bitch (not really), but deep down, you are actually a very genuinely nice person. The idea of actually hurting someone truly makes you feel bad, and you probably have never actually hurt someone’s feelings because your kindness always shines through, even if you do not want it to. Not sure exactly what I would call this type of personality, but if you identify with it, here are some feelings you can undoubtedly relate to.
