What Is This Movie About? 

This movie embodies all the hustle and bustle that comes along with Christmas. The fierce Christmas light competition between neighbors and the harsh reality of wanting to do what is best for one’s family when faced with job insecurity. Eddie Murphy’s character, Chris Carver makes a deal with a mischievous elf who casts a magic spell that brings the 12 Days of Christmas to life.

The family embarks on a journey that will cause them to be honest with each other and to understand the true meaning of Christmas, which is that the decorations don’t matter, Family does. It is a fantastic ride one you and the family will be sure to love and want to watch over and over again. 

For this fun-filled Christmas movie, I recommend making Candy Cane Cookies. The rich almond flavor and the sprinkling of peppermint make these cookies festive and a sure sign that Christmas is here.

Happy Holidays! 

Dear God,

Thank you, for our family and friends. May we continue to be together on this special Holiday. Your son’s birthday.

-Amen
