Merry Christmas!

Christmas time is here!!! Christmas is by far my favorite holiday. At Christmastime, everyone is happy. You can put up twinkly lights, bake and decorate sugar cookies, hang stockings up, put up the tree, wrap presents, and hang a wreath on every door. I love hanging up our stockings and watching Hallmark movies, and inviting friends over, and having my dad stuck at home because its snowing on a weekday. I love the way the sun falls on the floor and lights up our dining room when I wake up, and I love shopping for Christmas presents for my family. I love locking myself in the basement with 15 rolls of wrapping paper, 32 spools of ribbon, a box of bows, and a gift needing to be wrapped. I love playing Christmas music on the piano, caroling, and opening advent calendars. But what makes Christmas really special is that Jesus came down and saved us from our sins, so we can love and know Him. And unlike the tale of old Saint Nick, we didn't get that present because we were good all year round (or ever!), but God still made a way for us to know Him and love Him. And if that's not a reason to celebrate, I don't know what is! Merry Christmas, all!

P.S. When I was younger, I thought the song, "Now we dawn our gay apparel, Fa La La La, Fa La La La;" was "Now it dawns our day of peril" !

Day 20

Hey, Page Turner here! Okay, so Valentine's Day comes with a few keywords: love, (obviously) pink, heart, flowers, and chocolate. As you all know, movies are my jam, so here's the 19th day for my Countdown to Valentine's Day! Okay, so in movies Disney is the epitome of love stories, sappy or not. Even more specifically, the Princess Movies. (Cue eww from the guys. It's like kryptonite for males...) So in each movie the hero does something awesome for the heroine he loves. (Cue aww from the girls.) So here at pageturner411, I've compiled a list of heroic good deeds the good heroes have done!     Snow White-- Okay, so the scene opens and this dapper Dan serenades a poor peasant girl, a.k.a., Snow White. Score one for Snow White's Prince! Serenading and making her feel special, good for you. Next, he spends a great deal of time looking for her, and eventually wakes her up from a death-like sleep. 23/100 chocolate flowers for Snow White's Prince.    Cinderella...

The Good Dinosaur

Hi, Page Turner again! In case you were wondering, I had a blast on Valentine's Day and I'm now back for a brand-new movie review! Today, I was able to watch the Good Dinosaur and was left with feelings of Jurassic proportions...   The Good Dinosaur starts out with incredible CGI landscapes inspired by the Wyoming mountains, as a green dinosaur couple looks over their three eggs that are starting to hatch, in a moment akin to the very beginning of Finding Nemo. Each of the eggs hatch out three young dinosaurs, but Arlo is the very smallest of his family. As the summers pass and the farming family grows, Arlo's brother and sister place their footprints on the side of their corn silo, besides their parents, indicating they've 'made a mark' on the world. Everybody in his family has one except Arlo; everything in life scares him. His kind Papa tries one day to help Arlo prove his bravery and earn his mark by capturing and destroying the critter that eats from their...

Day 16

Hey, Page Turner again. It's day 16 in my Countdown to Valentine's Day. So, I've covered some cute DIY Valentine's, some Disney gifts, and some cool trivia on Valentine's Day. But what to plan for Valentine's Day? You could always do the classics... Movies--movies are always a good choice. Spend some time with loved ones while watching Star Wars, or any other movie of your choice. But probably Star Wars! If you want to splurge, get popcorn, candy, and a drink. Dinner--everybody, family, friends, and sweethearts, love a special dinner for Valentine's Day. A fancy restaurant, the favorite takeout pizza, or thoughtfully prepared burgers, it doesn't matter. Just celebrate with friends or family. Or the wacky... Make a treasure hunt all over town, binge watch Valentine Hallmark movies, tape paper hearts all over someone's door. Or something Disney! It's pretty hard to accomplish but if you can arrange for a ball in a castle (with glass slippe...
