So we have decorated for Christmas, and we are loving the trees and lights. We have bought Christmas gifts, and we love to buy gifts for others. We have talked about the real meaning of Christmas, and that it is a celebration on the birth of Jesus. We have been singing carols all the while! We finally took a break for a Christmas movie. The boys have watched Charlie Brown's Christmas and Toy Story Christmas earlier, but we went in a different direction for this one. It was Mommy's choice on Thursday night after dinner, and the boys were super curious about what Mommy had in store. It was Home Alone . . . one of Mommy's most watched movies ever!
The boys loved that the main character shared a name with Daddy, Kevin (McAllister) of course. They loved every scene he was in. Their early favorites were when he discovered his family was gone, when he got shocked by the Daddy's aftershave, and when he went sledding down the stairs. The fun really got started when they figured out that Kevin was going to trick the bad guys so many times. They loved his simple and creative and kid-smart ways to get them! They squealed and screamed each time one of the bad guys was foiled by Kevin's tricks . . . ice on the steps, hot door handle, iron to the face, torch to the head, glue to the face with feathers ready at the fan, glass ornaments at the window, paint cans to the head . . . wow, this sounds violent!!!! All in good fun, and the movie night was a success. They are already asking when they can watch it again. This is a silly Christmas tradition that is super fun, and we can watch it as many times as they want. So much fun!
