The Santa Clause 1 and 2, I haven't seen 3 but don't know if I'll like it as Bernard isn't in it
I will buy the boxset one day for my little boy thoughNightmare before Christmas
Muppets Christmas Carol
I think they're probably my favourites, I've heard elf is really good but I haven't seen it yet
-
I open the ones I don't know what they are last, so this Christmas will be opening my boots first and then my hairdryer, if I can guess which one it is lol, I like the surprise to last

I've heard about this for a while. Never seen the trailer though!
1) Emma Thompson!
2) The graphics look a LOT better!
3) They don't seem to have aged!
4) Will Smith has grey hair, at first I thought he dyed it but it looks like a wig. >.<
5) I agree with Donna, I want a Will Smith Song.
Will Smith will never age, he will always be able to bring out another series of the fresh prince if he see's fit
I think we'll probably wait for it to come out on love film unless the little one wants to see it, we very rarely go to the cinema anymore. I want to see Sherlock Holmes, but think the next thing I see at the cinema will be the avengers

Christmas has officially started in our household now, schools out and Ash had his last day at work today
Tomorrow I think we're just going to relax but on Sunday we have a carol service to go to, lunch with my mum and nanna and then we're going to a panto with a few other family members. I can't wait, its going to be so Christmassy
We're visiting Ash's parents sometime before Christmas but not sure when and Mack is going to have breakfast with Santa on Friday, so its quite a busy week we have before Christmas, which will be nice. Just hope it doesn't all go too quickly
-
We'll be opening presents in PJ's we always have done, come down for Santa presents and for people who are there in the mornings presents. I couldn't expect Mack to eat his breakfast and get dressed before opening his presents. I'll probably end up having to rush and get ready before going to my mums for dinner lol. I've bought some new PJ's and a dressing gown especially to wear Christmas eve lol

I welcome this with open arms, but will be very disappointed if Will Smith doesn't release a new theme tune. I would welcome any Will Smith music with open arms as well. I think he should release a Christmas song next year as well, or the year after, any year to be fair but next Christmas would be better, he'd be set for life then (not that he isn't already) I don't see why more people don't release proper Christmas songs, I mean seriously even if its a rubbish song, hello royalties every year when its played again!
Anyway back to the topic, yeah men in black 3 is of course going to be great.

Yeah, shame they don't keep in touch lol, I should nag my nanna to start talking to her Irish relatives more

Thank you again

I love Christmas, got all my shopping done now except for a few bits for Mack and Ash, me and Mack are going with nursery on the 1st December to go see santa that will be fun. Also going to a panto the weekend before Christmas, going with my mum, her partner, my brother, ash, mack, my auntie, my cousin and my nanna, hopefully we'll go out for a meal beforehand and make a nice afternoon of it
My mum is taking Mack to have breakfast with santa the day before Christmas eve. Christmas day itself is going to be really busy, we'll spend the morning at home just me ash and Mack and then going to my mums to have dinner, after dinner we'll be going to my Aunties house where my other Auntie, nanna and Uncle and kids will be there, so going to be packed. Will be lovely to see everyone though.
New years I have no plans yet, don't think we'll have a babysitter so will either be just us in the house or might have a few friends over, or if someone does something where Mack can go then we'll do that. I'm not a big new years person anyway, places get too packed for my liking
-
Yeah, I don't know if I believe you. Surely this is just a conspiracy. As if its been a year!
Ahhh well happy very belated Birthday forum *hugs*

Only did a stand-by in Japan but Hong Kong, well, if y'all end up going there it is gorgeous!
Would absolutely love to go, I think he's more set on Japan though, but we'll see. It's not like we're getting married anytime soon lol, so plenty of time to decide on where we'll go for a honeymoon
-
We're thinking of going Japan, or I'd like to go to Hong Kong, but Japan is looking more likely. Otherwise Hawaii is another option or a Caribbean cruise (although I think we're more likely to go on a Disney cruise with Mack and any other kids we have at the time we go lol, so not really as a honeymoon) There are loads of places we'd love to go though, probably wont know where we're going until we book it

My grandmas used to have tonnes of lego at her house, its still there but its not my uncles, its meant for the kids to play with....which personally I don't think is fair, she bought it for us not our kids :/
My little boy won't be playing with lego anytime soon, just bought him over £50 worth of playmobile for Christmas, but its all knights stuff so that's cool, he can play with that until he's at least 31 right?

I'm sorry but it shouldn't just be four years, it should be beyond that. Illiteracy still exists in the US (a very small percentage) but it still exists. Furthermore there are kids out there who are in high school and can't even read at that grade level. Reading is almost fundamental this day in age, and "I dun meanz thuz txt you'z see'z or dem tweeets," I mean actual English. Not to mention you need to understand English to develop your skills at writing. Grammatical and spelling errors are rife, best to nail it down while you're young.
All these reasons however are besides the point. The main reason is that reading and writing are bare necessities in society. They give people the ability to analyze, which is beyond crucial in everyday life. You may not realize it while you're doing it, but reading a passage from lets say Shakespeare, breaking it down, seeing why Hamlet doesn't kill Claudius when he has the first chance for instance, helps you in real life. When your fridge stops working you have to analyze the situation. Is it making a rattling noise? Is there a bunch of water on the floor? ect. By repeating that skill over and over, you start to master it.
Furthermore reading and being forced to explore these worlds expands your mind. It makes you see things and experience people you wouldn't normally experience. It opens your mind up to new ideas and new concepts.
I think the thing that irks most people is not the reading but the writing aspect. That is somewhat subjective in relation to your teacher (more so during High school). However writing isn't any less crucial. It again forces you to analyze a situation, think about a concept, dive deeper than you had to before. Does it suck sometimes? Sure, but you gain so much more out of it. It makes you think, which is beyond crucial, it's essential. To be able to properly articulate what you mean, to have others understand you is utterly astounding. Humans rely so much on communication and the precision of our communication.
Overall as an English major I can honestly say what you learned in High school is a cake walk in comparison to what you learn in college. At least you never had to translate Chaucer and interpret it, line by line, word by word.
I should say that four years is barely enough to grasp the core concepts. Also while we're on the subject I should say that I believe math and science should be required four years as well. They are equally essential components in learning and it's a shame they aren't given the same urgency. English however is absolutely paramount in order to express, analyze, interpret, and communicate information.
I was going to say something very similar....although I think you probably put it better then I would have done.

It's hard to really care about this :/ she said she wouldn't have and even if she did, he's a character, he's my favourite of the trio, but its still just a book. Personally if I were her, I would have considered killing Hermione, but it really doesn't matter who she thought about killing and who she didn't think about killing, she's written the books now, its done and dusted

I haven't made one, lol, but we've had a change of plan and spending most of Christmas at other peoples houses (except for morning for santa presents of course) so seemed silly to make one when we can have other peoples
would be nice to have one for after Christmas but depending on how much I pig out Christmas day and boxing day I might have to get seriously back on a diet

I've always wanted to see it at the theatre, not sure if it will be the same on film :/ my nanna fell asleep watching this on the front row a few years ago
not because it was dull but as soon as the lights are low she tends to fall asleep lol
