We absolutely adore the Christmas season and usually jump right into the decor, music, and movies on November 1st! However, this year, we’re pausing the holiday rush to focus on family and gratitude during the Thanksgiving season. We’re intentionally choosing movies that celebrate these themes to help teach our children the importance of being grateful for what we have.
We love that some of these movies are classics! It gives Mom and Dad a chance to reminisce about the simpler times of their childhood. We hope that you and your family find the same joy and connection watching them together this Thanksgiving season.
