Top 10 Best Christmas Movies

Despite the fact that I have been playing Christmas music for a few weeks, now that Thanksgiving is over it is officially Christmas season! That means it is totally acceptable to watch a Christmas movie every day. Here is the top 10 list of the best Christmas movies:

1. Elf

What did we do before 2003 when this movie came out? Elf is the perfect movie to get into the Christmas spirit. Not to mention, you probably won't stop laughing through the whole thing.


2. Miracle on 34th Street

This one is the definition of a "classic Christmas movie". It shows us the whole holiday season, with the beginning of the movie taking place on Thanksgiving and bringing us all the way up to Christmas. Even though it was made in 1947, it never gets old.

3. Polar Express

It's all about believing. This movie will give you the feels... and make you want to go visit the North Pole on a magical train.


4. The Santa Clause

This is one of Tim Allen's best. Wouldn't it be cool if your dad was Santa Claus?!


5. Christmas with the Kranks

When the Kranks try to skip Christmas, it doesn't go as planned. "Christmas with the Kranks" is definitely an underrated Christmas movie, and worth the watch.


6. Jingle All The Way

Another great, but underrated Christmas movie. It's turbo time!


7. Home Alone

Even though I might have been afraid to stay home alone for a while after seeing this movie, it is one of the best Christmas movies out there. And the first one is much better then all the ones they made after.


8. A Christmas Story

"You'll shoot your eye out kid!"


9. A Charlie Brown Christmas

Who knew a cartoon could give you the feels! This one really shows the meaning of Christmas.

10. It's a Wonderful Life

Another classic that I didn't appreciate until I got older.

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.

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.
