Let's go to the movies....

OK, so far all of my posts have been of the craft variety.... Well today is different (partly because I'm a little late in posting!!!!).

It's MOVIE NIGHT!!!!!

You're probably thinking how lame this idea is right about now. If you're anything like me, you probably put your kids in front of a movie to get things done. Besides, if you had the time to watch a movie (a pure luxury at this time of the year) you probably wouldn't pick one of the kid persuasion.

I'll be the first one to tell you that watching a movie is totally NOT my thing, I don't even like going to the movies all that much. So trust me when I say, this is an effort for me. So why do I do it? Because I'm learning that time truly flies when you become a parent. So if this is one small thing that I can do to make a holiday memory with them then that's what I need to do. So come on, you can do it!!!

Pop some popcorn, throw a Christmas movie in the DVD player if there's not one on TV tonight and get cozy with the kids on the couch! My kids like to throw in some hot chocolate as well, my guess is yours will to. One last suggestion: turn the lights out,the kids say it makes it look like the movie theater.

Need help with a movie, here's a few suggestions....
The Polar Express
The Grinch either the cartoon or the Jim Carey version
Jack Frost with Michael Keeton
The Santa Claus movies with Tim Allen
Elf with Will Ferrell
Charlie Brown Christmas

If you want to go out to the theaters, there are plenty of holiday movies out right now. Check out plugged in online for movie reviews and if your movie choice is appropriate for your kids.
