Spruce up your Christmas movie watching

Take in A Christmas Carol — the 1938 adaptation of the Dickens’ classic, above, or any other version — or any other classic Christmas films and integrate seasonal activities with the viewing.

Since screening Christmas movies together with family and friends has become as ubiquitous as Ugly Christmas Sweater Parties, maybe it’s time to be more than just holly jolly couch potatoes. Perhaps we can find ways to integrate Christmas activities (emphasis on “active”) with the spectating.

Nativity story takes a look at the wild side

Stephen Yeun, from The Walking Dead TV series, is the voice of Boas the donkey in The Star. His best friend, Dave the Dove, is played by Keegan-Michael Key.

Seeing the nativity story from the animals’ point of view … well, that’s another story altogether, though the director of animated film The Star has hopes for it becoming a classic, too.
