Day 10 – Pop a big bowl of popcorn and join your loved ones for a showing of “A Miracle on 34th Street.” Only the original, black and white version, please.
I feel I’ve talked about Miracle on 34th Street a lot this season, so I won’t mention it again (but seriously, only watch the original, black and white version.) Instead, I’ll expand this idea. Pick your favorite Christmas movie and have a movie night with the family.
Perhaps you like White Christmas or It’s a Wonderful Life. I know a lot of people who love watching Elf. The movie doesn’t matter. What matters is hanging out with the family. In fact, why only have only one.
Back when I wrote this idea, I suggested popcorn, but enjoy whatever treat your family likes. Perhaps you could try a new recipe, like reindeer snacks. Make it earlier in the day with the kids, and then enjoy it with your movie.
There are dozens of reindeer snack recipes online. I’ve included two here. A savory one from Taste of Home and a sweet one from Dinner at the Zoo. I like my reindeer snacks sweet, and this one looks delicious.
You can also make your own reindeer snack recipe using ingredients that each family member likes. Whatever you choose to eat and watch, snacks and movies are the perfect combination.
If you have a favorite snack recipe, I’d love to try it out. You can also tell me about your favorite Christmas movie. Maybe I haven’t seen it yet.
