CHRISTMAS MOVIES: A Castle for Christmas (Netflix)

 



Oh, I loved this little Netflix Christmas movie! An author takes a vacation from her best-selling author life and goes to Scotland. She tours a castle where her father worked and discovers it's for sale. 

Miles, the duke who owes the castle, like all good dukes worldwide, doesn't really want to sell the castle and leave his home, but he is being squeezed by the bank.

Gorgeous Scottish vistas and beautiful Scottish music make this film a perfect little Christmas gem.

And it has Carey Elwes in it!

CHRISTMAS CRAFTS: Popsicle Stick Christmas Trees and Santa

 


 These are cute! In school, we made them with cardstock. I precut the colored strips for the tree branches. We only used a popsicle stick for the back of the tree for support. The popsicle sticks need to be painted in advance of the happy assembly session, which must include Christmas music and snacks. Make sure your snacks look VERY different from your stick-ons! 
A variety of flat back stick-on jewels and little stickers allowed for some creativity and choose. I bought puffy star sticks for the tree toppers, but some children opted for wildlife stickers or drew their own topper.
I added the yarn ties when they were all completely dried. 

The original ideas came from Pinterest.
