corner view ≈ traditions

son
when son was smaller we shared a passionate tradition. each saturday night we'd watch a (blockbuster) movie at home. we'd slump right down in comfy chairs, in wintertime we pulled the blankets up to our chins and we'd nibble party food. it's a lovely little something we imitated from here (don't miss the coloured goodies on those tables now!). it was, probably still is, one of my favourite films, these days rather for bob hoskins than for the ladies. which reminds me, mr b is grand in this movie!
i am very much looking forward to visit all of your corner view traditions. i'm a sucker for tradition, really. it is what shapes us, what sticks to us, which defines us. son these days is rather declining the whole party food business, but it might have something to do with the fact we have no kitchen at this very instant. soon though...☻
cherry b thought up this delightful theme, corner view original idea by jane, hosted by theresa.

  2. What a lovely tradition! And Mermaids of course is also one of my favourites!! Still in love with the if-you-wanna-be-happy-scene!
    My little brother and I once had the tradition to go and watch the annual christmas film for children in the cinema on christmas morning, for instance The Muppet Christmas Carol! I loved that!
    Hmm, well, maybe I should watch a good movie this evening?!

  5. No kitchen before Christmas? You are a very brave Girl!
    I love your tradition of watching movies with your son. I used to have similar tradition with my partner: we used to watch a horror movie every Friday. It also used to be the only time of the week when we let ourselves eat junk food and sweets. Old good days ;)

    Have a wonderful day,
    Kasia

  10. That's something I really wish I could do with my boys: watch movies together. But we have no tv (no reception) and no rental shop nearby. Well, we can still have the party food:)

  11. We used to do that too, rent a movie and snuggle up the gills. Such a sweet family tradition (:

  16. Here, we combine the movie watching with eating in front of the television set. For shame! (About once a month, is that enough to build a tradition on?)
