We all have our favorite parts of Christmas, so I asked a few people what their favorite parts were, here they are!

Food

From Christmas dinners to cookies and loads of chocolates, there is always great food around the holidays. Not only is the food good but the experience of making cookies is always a fun activity as well!

15 Reasons Why Christmas Is The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year

15 Reasons Why Christmas Is The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year


Decorating

Lights! Lights! Lights! There is always plenty of decorations; exterior illumination and decorating the tree are two types of my favorite decorations.


Spending Time with Family

Naturally, this must be included. What I think is best about this one is that so much counts for family, whatever family you will be spending the holidays with I hope it is a merry time!


Christmas Carols

Christmas carols are so unique, this holiday has its own genre of music. There are happy, sad, serious, funny, religious and secular Christmas songs that all have their own charm and appeal to them.


Snow Activities

Sledding, snowboarding, skiing, ice skating, snowball fights and loads more. Snow combined with cold, allows us to do so much outside during winter.


Bringing Cheer to All

There are so many ways to accomplish this. It may be a simple holiday phrase or being one of Santa’s helpers. But it’s always nice to give and receive cheer this time of year

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
