NETFLIX: Here For The Holidays
I have been a Netflix fan since they launched in the early 2000's. When I first moved out of my parent's house, my roommate and I couldn't wait to receive out movies in the mail each day. We had it timed just right!
Forward a few years (wink wink), my Netflix has something for everyone, at our fingertips.
We love our family movie nights, hubby and I love our zombie movie nights, we love binging our favorite shows, and we absolutely love the Netflix Holiday Season! I mean, there really is nothing better!
Tonight is definitely going to be a fun movie night for our family. We are going to be watching Adam Sandler's new movie, Hubie Halloween, which releases on Netflix today.
We carved pumpkins and did a whole activity around the movie, just to get in the mood.
You can read more about it on my here.

With a mutual disdain for the holidays, and assuring themselves that they have no romantic interest in the other, they make the perfect team. However, as a year of absurd celebrations come to an end, Sloane and Jackson find that sharing everything they hate may just prove to be something they unexpectedly love.

A musical adventure and a visual spectacle for the ages, Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey is a wholly fresh and spirited family holiday event. Set in the gloriously vibrant town of Cobbleton, the film follows legendary toymaker Jeronicus Jangle (Academy Award winner Forest Whitaker) whose fanciful inventions burst with whimsy and wonder. But when his trusted apprentice (Emmy winner Keegan-Michael Key) steals his most prized creation, it’s up to his equally bright and inventive granddaughter (newcomer Madalen Mills) — and a long-forgotten invention — to heal old wounds and reawaken the magic within. From the imagination of writer-director David E. Talbert and featuring original songs by John Legend, Philip Lawrence, Davy Nathan, and "This Day" performed by Usher and Kiana Ledé, Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey reminds us of the strength of family and the power of possibility.
