Young people recreate the iconic 'Peanuts' dance, bringing wholesome joy to all ages

"This deserves a Nobel Peace Prize."

By Heather Wake

There are so many reasons why A Charlie Brown Christmas remains a beloved holiday watch, no matter what age you are. Between the nostalgic animation, the charming characters, the jaunty jazz score, the treeeeeeee… there's just so much for everyone to enjoy.

But one of the most smile-inducing elements is, of course, the dance. Each character has their own signature moves, including foot shuffles, head bobs, fist pumps, and arm swings, as Schroeder, Pig-Pen, and Snoopy bring the house down with piano, upright bass, and jaw harp.

It's silly. It's exuberant. It's everything.

George Orwell shared '6 rules for writing' in 1946. People say they're more essential than ever.

These are great rules for anyone, even if you aren't a writer.

By Emily Shiffer

Author George Orwell is best known for his books 1984 and Animal Farm. He was an English novelist whose real name was Eric Arthur Blair, according to the Orwell Foundation.

Orwell was a prolific writer known for his politically themed novels and essays. His life came to an end in 1950 at just 46 years old after a battle with advanced tuberculosis. But in those short years, his writing came to inspire millions of readers around the world.

In 1946, Orwell shared a few of his writing rules with readers in an essay titled "Politics and the English Language." The essay features Orwell's commentary on the craft of writing, according to Douglas E. Abrams, a University of Missouri law professor. In his paper "Orwell's Six Cures to Bad Writing," Abrams writes that for Orwell, "Good writing depends on sound grammar, spelling, style, and syntax, but it also depends on willingness to bend or break the 'rules' when advisable."

He was right… the Godzilla tree is beyond cool.

Gen X-ers share the 'scents' they wore in high school and get instantly drenched in nostalgia

"I can smell these comments."

By Cecily Knobler

Like all generations, Gen X had a specific smell. Some might call it anxiety or Bartles & Jaymes wine coolers. But others liken it to the very strong scents we once wore. One whiff of it can instantly transport us back to the exact time and place when we doused ourselves in our smell of choice.

That memory lane is a blast for some to travel.

A recent post went viral on Threads after a person (@_lilimaris) asked, "Gen X peeps. What perfume did you wear in high school?" In just a few days, this query received tons of likes and over 4,000 answers.

Parents reveal things they'd never let their kids do, but did frequently as kids themselves

"Play at the beach without sunscreen."

By Evan Porter

Things have changed since we were kids. Whether you grew up in the '50s or the '90s, the modern world is dramatically different than the one we knew as children. That's one reason many parents aren't content to raise their kids today the same way they were brought up. There are new rules, new boundaries, and a long list of things kids today will never be allowed to do. Whether it's ultimately for better or worse is still up for debate.

Parents are sharing the things they used to do all the time as a kid that they would never let their own children do today.

In a series of threads on Reddit, parents are responding to the prompt: "What did you do as a child that you would never let your own children do?"
