It’s become tradition in our home to
have a movie night on Saturday night. Last night, though, we were involved in a
big Christmas concert so we’re doing it tonight instead! And it’s worked out
well – I think I might be rather tired after just getting through the last week
of school and a concert!
And, Christmas isn’t Christmas
without watching at least ONE soul-lifting, joyful Christmas movie! So, today,
why not plan to watch a movie together tonight!
What movie will you watch? The top
of my Christmas movie list is always White Christmas and Miracle on 34th
Street. After watching them I’m left with a sense of Christmas, maybe some
tears (!) and a happy, joyful soul – remembering what Christmas should be about
– sharing love and family – not about getting what’s on your Christmas list.
Add a special touch to the night and
make some donut popcorn (see recipe below) and spiced hot
chocolate (just add a pinch of cinnamon and make the hot chocolate with hot
milk instead of water for a smooth, creamy hot chocolate!).
After (or during!) the movie, have a
chat about how you can bring those same Christmas feelings of joy to those
around you. Jesus was born to bring joy – to show us the wonders of heaven.
Share the joy around this Christmas.
'I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.' John 15:11
