I know.
It sounds crazy. But I have a
favorite nightmare. Not in the way you’re
thinking though…I’m talking about my favorite movie A Nightmare Before
Christmas by Tim Burton. Why is this my
favorite movie you ask? Well I’d love to tell you!
My oldest son, who was 5 or 6 at the time
asked to rent this movie from our local blockbuster. I looked at the cover and was a little
apprehensive but I gave it a go anyway.
It turned out to be his favorite movie EVER and mine as well. It’s now become a yearly tradition to watch
the movie on Halloween and Christmas! The cinematography was so eye-catching
and the storyline absolutely genius that I was hooked. I can’t leave out the
fact that my all-time favorite musician Fiona Apple performed Sally’s Song!
Everyone who knows me, knows that I LOVE Fioana Apple…totally devoted fan right
here!! *clears throat* back to the movie. This
movie became an instant family favorite for us because of its ability to
translate between both Halloween and Christmas. It’s a perfect blend of both! Only Tim Burton can produce a dark and creepy musical
and make it family friendly…am I right?! Totally!! From the frankenstien-ish type characters to
the dark, creepy feel of the land…it screams Halloween. And the cleverness of making each holiday
its own little land/town/portal…absolutely genius!!

Anyway, this is movie is my favorite
nightmare because little did I know on that fateful day, renting this movie
would somehow turn into a family tradition.
We seriously watch it throughout the holiday season, and I think we
especially enjoy it after we’ve stuffed ourselves to the brim on
Thanksgiving. We watch it after we’ve
returned from trick-or-treating, or on a lazy Sunday afternoon while escaping
rainy days. So there’s my nightmare for
ya…not so scary after all was it?? :D
Happy Halloween!
Thank you so much Nette!
