Family Moment Monday


In keeping with the movie theme for Family Moment Monday over at Motherhood for Dummies, I will share our traditional family Christmas movie.....The Christmas Story. Ralphie, a young boy growing up in the '40's, dreams of owning a Red Rider BB gun. He sets out to convince the world this is the perfect gift.

I remember watching this movie with my dad. I think it was on TV at least a dozen times during the holiday season. We watched it last year for the first time with our children (then 4 and 2)....we are hoping for a better response this year. Maybe the humor?? in the film will be a little better received. There are *some* parts that toddlers think are funny, right? Emma has made reference to it a few times so I know it wasn't a total flop. With popcorn, they will watch almost anything. I would switch movies (we can start a new tradition - I'm flexible) but I really don't know any other Christmas movie that is age appropriate (for a big age range) that I would want to watch every year. I am open to suggestions.

Enjoy your Monday but remember....Don't shoot your eye out!
