Movie Night

The living room turned into a cozy theater overnight: a blanket fort lit with fairy lights, pillows for seats, popcorn boxes ready to fill, and the elf saving the best spot.

The elf is on TV! He's sitting inside a cardboard box television with a screen cut out, bottle-cap knobs and a remote, ready to host the morning news from the North Pole.

The elf built a drive-in theater: a cardboard screen, toy cars parked in rows, and the elf sitting in the front car waiting for the show.

The elf is handing out tickets: popcorn boxes are lined up by the TV and every family member gets an 'admit one' for tonight's holiday movie.

Bingo cards wait on the couch for tonight's holiday movie, with squares like snow, a dog, a present and someone singing.

A red carpet runs to the couch, with paper stars on the floor and the elf waiting with popcorn. Tonight's movie is a premiere.

Tonight's show is a shadow show. The elf set up a sheet stage, a flashlight and a cast of paper puppets on sticks: a reindeer, a snowman, a star and himself.
