NorthPole Fun at Walmart

We have hit the christmas jack pot !!!! Time to bring some more Christmas Magic to our household.

I am about to go crazy in our local Walmart!!! All the goodies from the Hallmark Movie; NorthPole (see blog post) is here in one location!  I am suppose to be shopping for Thanksgiving dinner but I made a detour. So much stuff to choose from, trying not to buy it all.  Right now I am a kid in a candy store with a pocket full of cash. 

I will most certainly be purchasing the Find Me Santa snowflake. Remember in the movie, santa gave Kevin this exact same snowflake and told him to out this in his window and he will find him on Christmas Eve. The packaging says it comes comes with an extra sticker so you can personalize it with your name; I am going to put our last name on ours. 

The magic snowball is another must have from the movie. It even glows green like the northern lights. I have always thought of ways to incorporate it into our family traditions this year. We will throw the snowball at each other and the person who catches it will have to share a happy memory of christmas. Remember what Clementine said in the movie, you can't help but laugh when hit with a magic snowball.  

We don't get that much snow here in Mississippi but this avalauncher seems like such a nice toy to take outside on a warm winter day. 

This is what my cart looks like now and let me remind you I came to Walmart solely for buying things needed for Thanksgiving dinner. Maybe I should Go to Christmas AA cause I believe I do have a true addiction to buying Christmas decor LOL . 

Hallmark Channel's North Pole Movie Review

I get an email from a reader, asking have my kiddos seen the Hallmark Channel's North Pole movie because the North Pole Communicator (see blog post)  is featured in the the movie.  

We haven't seen the movie when I purchased the communicator; but a quick check of my tv's local listing stated that it would come on at 3pm. So I quickly decided that we will watch this movie and with every movie you need snacks right ? 

So this is exactly how we spent our Saturday afternoon, curled up on the couch watching the North Pole Movie. 

Let me say, I love this movie and have to go buy it. It was filled with so many cute items that we are going to purchase  (magic snowballs, tree luminator , find me santa snowflake, etc)  to get our family traditions and Christmas magic going and flowing. 

Here is my review in a nutshell about this movie.......

We all know the North Pole is the magical home to Santa, Mrs Claus and the elves. However what this movie tells us, is this hug city is powered by the magic of christmas from everyone around the world. Only in today's time, the city is in trouble, because people everywhere have gotten too busy to enjoy christmas together. A young elf name Clementine notices that there is a problem with the Northern lights. The problem is, there's not enough Christmas happiness in the world to fuel the northern lights, which provide the energy for North Pole, which, in turn, sends toys to the children, thereby sparking the happiness, which then fuels ... Get the drift? It's called the Cycle of Happiness. That's when Clementine decides that she must find a way to help people rediscover the magic of Christmas. Kevin and his mom have moved to a new town, which is a perfect example of happiness at risk. The mayor has canceled the century old Christmas tree lighting ceremony. So Clementine has decided that she is going to take matters into her own hands, when she hears Kevin asks the same questions she was wondering. She enlists Kevin to be her earthling accomplice, and the two set out to start the cycle anew.  She leaves an early Christmas gift for Kevin which turns out to be a North Pole communicator. 

The two talks, and Kevin is skeptical that he is talking to a real elf from the North Pole, but they become friends anyway. Clementine takes one of Santa's reindeer Randy and heads off to our world to meet up with Kevin. 

Kevin was pretty shocked when he looked outside and saw Clementine the elf

She tells him to jump on in the sleigh, and she takes him back to the North Pole, so he can see for himself how the city is in trouble 

They arrived at the North Pole , and Kevin sees for himself that the place is real and in trouble because Christmas magic is dying out. 

Clementine has to hide the fact that Kevin was from our world so she made him change into elf clothing, but they run into Santa and Mrs Claus. Santa knew who Kevin was right away. To prove that he was indeed the real Santa; he hands Kevin a magic snowflake so he can rest assured that santa will find him on Christmas. Thus proving. that he is real because Kevin's biggest worry about moving was, how would santa find his new home. 

Now this new job of trying to restore Christmas magic, isn't going to be easy for Kevin and Clementine. Kevin's mom is a reporter , doesn't believes him when he tells her about traveling to the North Pole and being friends with an elf, the town is apathetic. Not to mention Kevin is also the new boy in town and hasn't made any friends yet.  The duo, do however find an ally in the most unlikely of sources; Kevin's teacher. 

 Not wanting to spoil the entire plot of the movie let's just say, it took a little bit of faith to get everyone to believe in Christmas Magic again and when all seemed lost, something wonderful happened..... But you gotta watch the movie to find out for yourself.

And because so, there was enough energy to power Santa's sleigh 

Overall, we enjoyed this movie and it will be apart of our Christmas Collection for years to come. It was all about believing in the magic of christmas and spending time with family. The movie has also inspired and introduced, a line of North Pole fun traditions to start in your home and we are off to the store to pick up a few to add to our ever growing list of Christmas traditions.
