Holiday Movie Picks
I love quiet winter nights spend cuddled with my family watching Christmas movies. As promised I’m sharing a few of my favorite movie picks for your next family movie night!
This Christmas classic might not make a lot of sense to kids these days but it has my husband and me laughing every year.
This is a good movie to teach about giving during the holidays. Kids also love seeing their favorite Disney characters in a classic tale.
My kids love all the buddy movies and this one is on often at our house during the holiday season. It’s a cute story about a group of puppies that help Santa.
Dr. Seuss’ How The Grinch Stole Christmas
This modern take on the story by Dr. Suess might be better than the original cartoon. We love to watch both as Christmas is getting close.
