Family Movie Night Double Feature!

Combine an Oldie and a Brand New Classic!

The kids will love and quote Three Amigos just the way you did! Adam Sandler's Hotel Transylvania is Jam Packed with Hollywood's hottest star voices, and hilarious fun for the entire family to enjoy!

Plastic Popcorn Tub....bought at the Dollar Store..$1.00

4 smaller plastic popcorn containers..bought at the Dollar Store...$4.00

Pick up each family member's favorite movie-sized candy at Walgreen's or Target.

Usually about $1.00 each.

Pop Popcorn at home - the very best popcorn for the fluffiest and largest pops is POP SECRET JUMBO.

-----OR----

Make It SUPER SPECIAL!!! Make a run over to your local movie theater and purchase an actual tub of real movie theater popcorn. Caution - - getting the popcorn home without eating some is next to impossible. So I recommend bringing a large plastic bag to slip over the top of the tub.

The first time I brought movie-theater popcorn home it was a huge kid and family pleaser!

There are so many wonderful ideas in "Creating Holiday Magic and Family Traditions" to promote Family Bonding and making every occasion unbelievably memorable and special!

REINDEER FOOD! Reindeer Food Recipe!

FEEDING SANTA’S REINDEER

Santa isn’t the only part of this trip around the world.  His reindeer are just as important.  Explaining to the little ones that reindeer need to eat on their journey and telling them you happen to have a recipe for flying reindeer food gets them excited all over again on yet another magical day. 

Simply write a recipe down on paper and put it in a special cook book you have or old book you have somewhere. 

Once you write the recipe, wrinkle up the paper and make it look as old as possible. And name the recipe something like “Reindeer Food and Flying Aide.”  Also put a disclaimer that they see that it’s only for reindeer and children should never even taste it. Let them go with you to get it out of the book and hold it as though it was something very special that only you possess.  Get all the ingredients out that you purchased ahead of time and let the fun begin.  Help them measure out the correct amounts and stir the food up really good.  Set aside until the day of the party or Christmas Eve.  It’s best if you make several small sandwich bags to keep this all in so it doesn’t get all over the place. 

REINDEER FOOD RECIPE

In a mixing bowl combine:

• 1/4 cup oatmeal
•  1/4 cup silver or gold glitter
•  sprinkle of red or green sugar crystals (as with cake decorating)

The amounts do not have to be exact, but if you are planning on handing out reindeer food as gifts to children at a party, for example, adjust the amounts in the recipe to however many people will be receiving it.  Add whatever you like to the recipe, we normally add the glitter later and get excited showing the kids the night before Christmas that the magic is starting to work.  We point out the shiny glitter (normally glitter is used in movies to make things fly and for magic appearance).

REINDEER FOOD POEM

Sprinkle on the lawn at night

The moon will make it sparkle bright

As Santa's reindeer fly and roam

This will guide them to your home.

Scoop out a good amount into a small zipper lock bag or baby food jar.  If you are using a zipper lock bag, you can put the poem inside the bag along with the reindeer food.  If you are using a baby food jar, you can cut a circle of cloth or felt a bit larger than the lid.  Place over the lid and tie a ribbon around it to decorate!

*Note: Do not use glitter if you think there is a chance the children who receive your reindeer food baggies will eat it. Simply use colored sugar crystals, and the oatmeal instead!
