During Christmas my family was so busy we didn’t make it to the Theater to watch the movie The Star. I had mentioned to David when The Star came to Red Box that I wanted to rent it. I thought The Star would be a great movie to watch with Charlie. Although now that The Star is out on DVD I just may purchase it for our household. As The Star is a movie we would watch each year during the Christmas Holidays. Adding a new tradition to our Christmas Traditions.
I would like to share a Bonus Feature we will receive when we purchase our copy of this new movie.
Faith All Year Round Children’s Sermon with Devon Franklin
If I do purchase The Star for my home I will also purchase a copy for Elijah so as he gets older he would have a variety of movies to watch with his parents. Before you ask me if I plan on purchasing a copy for Lily and Jason as well the answer is no, as their parents do not like movies. They prefer Netflex.
The Star is destined to become a classic!
