Wizard of Oz

B&H Rating:




I loved this book as a child! I've been reading it to my boys every night and they love it too! What a delightful story it is- full of fantasy and adventure. We love the characters. A great classic!

Christmas Story

B&H Rating:



This is a great movie about Christmas. It tells the story of how St. Nick came to be. What I love most about this movie is that whether or not the story is true, it helps us see that the Santa Claus figure is a figure of giving, a figure of love, which is truly the spirit of the season. Santa Claus isn't just a material and commercial part of Christmas. He is a gift giver, completely selfless, giving of himself and a great example to all of us. 

Christmas with a capital C

This movie had a good message about keeping Christ the center of Christmas. I appreciated that, especially in this day when so many are afraid to make him the reason for the season.
