Narnia

We just finished watching Narnia with our eldest daughter. For us it's been our fourth time through the wardrobe and I have have to say - love it! Some of my favorite parts?

Aslan telling the white witch to stop reciting the old magic because Aslan was there when it was written.
Aslan roaring at the white witch's question about his intent on keeping his promise.
The scene that shows Aslan talking with Edmund after his rescue. What was Aslan saying to him?
The surrender and humiliation of Aslan before his death. So powerful.
The epic battle.

There's many more. One thing you might want to consider this Christmas season is to sit down with your family and watch Narnia. Soak it in. Let it permeate into your festive mood. Then contemplate about it's metaphor for your new life.

Merry Christmas

Great idea...I don't often think of it as a "Christmas" movie, but I think I'll add it to our viewing list! We watched "The Nativity Story" with the girls the other night. It's really good too, but the first scene is a bit scary.
