The Christmas Eve Movie

 

    One of our favorite Christmas traditions is watching a recently released movie on Christmas Eve.  With Ashley's help we put together a list of the movies we have watched on Christmas Eve.  This year, Ryan scheduled the whole theater so we could watch a movie together.  The capacity of the theater was limited to 20 people, but it was fun to share it with people we knew.  Wendy and I were thinking about our movie experience in 2020, and this is the only movie we saw in a theater for the entire year.  Hard to believe, because we enjoy going to the movies.  I'm glad we were able to keep up this tradition.  The list may be incorrect but to the best of our recollection it is:

1995 - Jumanji

1996 - Space Jam

1997 - Mouse Hunt

1998 - The Prince of Egypt

1999 - Toy Story 2 or Stuart Little
